Thanksgiving Update: Mitch McConnell Losing the War Against Republican Base
Breitbart ^ | November 23, 2017 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 11/23/2017 9:36:02 PM PST by EliRoom8

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is badly losing the war he is waging against his own party’s voters this Thanksgiving, a sign of the failed GOP leader’s waning power in the era of President Donald J. Trump. Just over a couple weeks from now, conservative Judge Roy Moore is expected to defeat radical Democrat Doug Jones in Alabama’s special election for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by now Attorney General Jeff Sessions—and that is just the beginning of a larger wave brewing against McConnell. . . .

Some of the better info is deeper in the article. For instance, it's that Romney will be challenged if he decides to go after Hatch's seat. Even NRSC recruits for the Senate understand the "toxicity" of McConnell. And, imo, it looks as though the prince in waiting for RINO leadership is Colorado's Cory Gardner who has made his antagonism towards Moore well-known.

Roy Moore will, like President Trump, win despite the Democrats AND the Republicans.

Think Baltimore cop about to upset the power structure. Moore is an old man who will be handled one way or another. The deep state swamp would not bat an eye ordering a cardiotoxin or stroke up on Moore if he is elected. They will even attend his funeral and send flowers.

It’s more than Moore. McConnell is angling for an opportunity to impeach DJT after Muellar comes up with something he can run with. Strange would have been a “reluctant” vote to impeach: Moore will tell McConnell to go pound sand.

He hasn’t lost, but seems for the present to beholding his own. Lee and Cruz defected to the dark side in their call for Moore to drop out of the Senate race. Peer pressure is making cowards of them all.

That change by Cruz really disappointed me.

Cruz justified his shift based only on the seriousness of the charges, saying “lf those things are true, Moore ought to be in jail.’

What an @-hole.

Cruz is pure evil, just like McConnell. They are a couple of pit vipers. Texas should be ashamed with all it’s collective talk of how conservative it is, to have given the country two mongrels, Cruz and Cornholio. Time’s a wastin, y’all need to clean house.

A M E N! Cornyn is the personal embodiment of GOPe (opposes the border wall) and Cruz seems to have forfeited righteous guidance for . . .

Believe me, Bannon will remind Texas at primary time.

“Believe me, Bannon will remind Texas at primary time.”

I am of the opinion that Bannon & Co. are behind all of this sex stuff being brought to the surface in the Congress, at least I hope that this is part of Trump’s “drain the swamp” effort. Who ever though up the idea that it would be far easier, and a whole lot faster, to let out all this dirt on the lot of them. I just hope they have career-killing stuff on Ryan and McConnell. To see them have to go all in to save themselves would be an all-time high.

He was an AH long before withdrawing from the MOORE predicament. He became an AH when he attempted to run for President knowing he was never qualified to do so.
