Mitch McConnell Frets on Midterms: ‘The Wind Is Going to Be in Our Face’
Daily Beast ^ | April 4, 2018 | Gideon Reznick

Posted on 04/04/2018 1:52:52 PM PDT by detective

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) acknowledged this week that the 2018 midterm cycle could prove especially difficult for the Republican Party in the face of increased Democratic voter enthusiasm.

In an interview with Kentucky Today, published Tuesday, McConnell admitted: “This is going to be a challenging election year."

“We know the wind is going to be in our face,” he continued. “We don’t know whether it’s going to be a Category 3, 4 or 5.”

It almost sounds like the Republicans want to lose.

They do want to lose. If they wanted to win, all they have to do is support Trump. They would rather be the minority whiners than the majority leaders.

Don’t be afraid of the wind, Mitch!

The wind can be broken!

Break wind on the Democrats, Mitch!

“The Wind Is Going to Be in Our Face”

Because of you, and your ilk you S.O.B.

It’s bad enough to run against the Dems and the media. But having your own party undermine you at most every turn is not going to win elections.

Yep. Then they can go back to claiming to care about conservative issues and not be expected to actually do anything.

The republicans had a chance to do everything they wanted and people here fret about why they chose only to bust the budget. The truth is, they did everything they want. That is who they are.

Bush League Republicans do want to lose control of at least one house of Congress.
They want to wait out Trump so they can get back to business as usual, importing cheap labor and betraying the citizens.

Mitch and the rest of GOP bastards have no one to blame but themselves. The only reason any Trump supporter has to vote GOP is Donald Trump.

Ya know it would almost be worth it if we could get rid of that POS Mitch but he’s not up which is a bad break he wouldn’t be pulling his BS if he was.

We should all break wind in old Tortoise head’s face.

GOP is just so ready to lose. Money is good and you don’t have to work to turn your head and scrape in RAT corruption dough when they run things.

Being minority gives them the opportunity to blame Democrats and have an excuse for not being able to help Trump.

The Mitch McConnell crowd dumped Roy Moore in the Alabama special election last December, a harbinger of what’s coming.

They do want to lose, it is so obvious that we should be on his lawn demanding he and others so called GOP members step down immediately or swing from lampposts.

I can’t say what I think of Mitch McConnel other than he’s a slimeball traitor.
