Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says people should not be surprised by the challenges that come with governing, saying that’s the way it is in the U.S.

President Donald Trump has criticized McConnell for the Senate’s failure to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health care law. […]

I’m hoping for real change in the Senate.

I don’t like how it is.

McConnell had no plans to repeal Obamacare. He said the House bill was dead on arrival.

And the GOPe PAC money and pro-illegal immigration Chamber of Commerce keep funding their lapdogs. That’s just the way it is.

I will not vote for a GOPe candidate again. Even if it means losing the house, senate, or whatever. I have blasted others for saying that but, it took me a while, but now I understand. I am sick of these GOP elitist thugs that are no better than the democrats. Their only concern is staying in power.

No Mitch, that's the way it is when feckless Republicans like you are in charge.

When Moore wins the Alabama runoff and the general election, I’m going to call all McConnells offices and say “That’s the way it is Turd-Le.”

If our nation survives the current left-wing fascist onslaught, history books (or e-texts, whatever) will relate the time the Republican House and Senate refused to work with its President to advance a conservative agenda despite a voter mandate that they do so.

Then they’ll go on to talk about the party that replaced the long-gone Republican Party.

This is the way it is only because that’s the way you want it to be. There is *no* reason it has to be like that.

New constitutional amendment - all House and Senate positions to be part time, representatives and Senators required to be in their constituencies six months out of the year and hold a job outside their elected position.

McConnell has a bad case of political constipation - for 30 years.

mcconnell’s tenure is a legitimate argument for two term limits for all political office.

End lifetime career politicians

Can you imagine this cuck? “That’s the way it is” sounds more like a funeral director than what we should expect from “We the People”.

“That’s the way it is,” KY’s McC has to quote a Democrat, Walter Cronkite, who was wrong a great deal too.

Ditch is a leader of the antipeeps. A non violent version of antifa.
