The GOP-E could win the presidency while maintaining control of Congress, but yet McConnell would then claim that he could do nothing until the SCOTUS justices and those of all the other federal courts were re-appointed.

Or in other words, IT'S NEVER ENOUGH!!!

Is KY a high-abortion state? Like FL and TX, for instance. I didn’t think it is. I know MS and ND are among the lowest abortion boosters.

“The president’s made it very clear he’s not going to sign any bill that includes defunding of Planned Parenthood"

Then he should sign no bills.

The dirty little secret...

Congress could unilaterally defund Planned Parenthood this minute.

No special vote would need to be held.

The leadership just needs to decide to stop funding it.

Obama couldn’t do a thing about it.

Things will be better once you all succeed in getting Hilary or Sanders or Warren elected president. Are you going to try to give Nancy the gavel back, too?

Who cares, you pass it and make them stand up and defend removing the brains of live children in front of the nation and have them veto it....

Politics is blood sport and Republican play it likes its nerf football.

"“The president’s made it very clear he’s not going to sign any bill that includes defunding of Planned Parenthood, ..."

McConnell is right. More specifically, as a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, even after three election cycles, enough cycles to replace all members of the Senate, low-information patriots have still not elected the 2/3 Senate majority required to override a presidential veto to stop unconstitutional funding for Planned Parenthood.

I don’t think that the RINO-controlled House has the required 2/3 majority to override a presidential veto either, corrections welcome.

In fact, incumbent senators played on the ignorance of low-information patriots to get themselves reelected by claiming to repeal Obamacare if reelected, knowing that they wouldn’t have the 2/3 majority vote necessary to override a veto of any bill that dared to repeal unconstitutional Obamacare.

Are we having fun yet?

The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators along with unconstitutional federal funding for vote-winning Planned Parenthood and Obamacare along with it.

It will pass both houses by wide margins. Make the Marxist veto it.

The GOPe is pathetic.

Hmm....I thought Congress controlled the purse strings and was a co-equal branch of government.

Mitch, I have held on long enough. You have clearly been frightened into bending over for Obama. You can’t point to any significant successes....I’m ready for you to retire.

“You have to wait, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

McConnell should be a receptionist in a doctor’s office, not the Senate Majority Leader.

I’m sorry, can someone PLEASE explain to me again why it was SO IMPORTANT to give the Senate to the GOP in 2014?

Seems like anyone that said it would be useless, like me, was flamed.

...so that’s another issue that awaits a new president, hopefully with a different point of view about Planned Parenthood,...” McConnell said

If Eric Rudolph were to break out of prison and start whacking one recalcitrant Senator per week, they just might be able to find the votes.

Or, he could just use Hillary's "Kathleen Wiley Suppression Tactic" and leave dead kittens on their decks.

(just musing plot lines for a Political Suspense Novel... no one should ever advocate such heinous crimes against.... kittens....

and probably not even against Congress Critters.)

If RINO’s like you would shut up and push for our efforts, we could accomplish much, much more.

For the first time, I agree. You should be gone.
