Proof that all they care about is their reelection

[KC_Lion]

The biggest drag on this Admiration the GOP's lackadaisical worth ethic.

President Trump has one working speed; his maximum.

McConnell, Ryan et al move at the speed of a NY Transit authority construction worker.

[grobdriver]

entitlement reform is not on the agenda in 2018

Can we get new leadership on the agenda for 2018, please?

[faithhopecharity]

so the national legislative agenda is still controlled by the Dincraps, per McConnell

I know the tax bill just passed but what an embarrassing statement for McConnell to make!

[Dustoff45]

How about McConnell reform?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Maybe, after the first of the year, McTurtle might be replaced as Majority Leader. Still hoping......

[VRWCarea51]

So instead of entitlement reform, funding the wall, dealing with Sanctuary Cities, rebuilding our infrastructure the Turtle and his merry band of RINOS will push Scamnasty in 18 to make his friends across the isle happy

Yeah Mitch that will bring out the Conservatives in the fall. /s

It’s overwhelming to note how often the Democrats reach across the aisle to work with Republicans.

[oh8eleven]

Ryan called Medicare and Medicaid the “big drivers of debt."
And who gave us these FAILED gubmint programs? LBJ and the Democraps, who else.
And I still say that LBJ did more lasting damage to this country than any other president in history - including Nobama.

[NEMDF]

Maybe Mitch should start looking at the best way to revise the 2018 agenda, so that it provides benefits for the American taxpayers!!!

[LouieFisk]

I suspect this in part, at least, in hopes of dulling the Dems upcoming “the Republicans want to starve granny” attack for 2018.
Though it won’t stop the Dems from going by their usual playbook.

[EagleUSA]

“...I think the Democrats are not going to be interested in entitlement reform...”

All that Trump needs to do is CLEAN OUT the FRAUD and FAKE scum that is/are sucking the life out of proper entitlements. I put it all on the Congress for letting the system load up with FRAUDULENT receivers.

[Pollard]

What the Democrats are willing to do is important because in the Senate, with rare exceptions like the tax bill, we’ve got to have Democratic involvement,” McConnell said.

Why? How'd that Republican involvement go with obamacare? You have to pass it to see what's in it.

[Tenacious 1]

What is on the agenda for 2018?

[RedStateRocker]

Depends on what you call “entitlement”.

Mess with my Social Security and I *WILL* do everything in my power to take you down, regardless of any other position we may share.

Throw some perfectly able bodied bums off of disability and no problem.

[From The Deer Stand]

It had better be.....

[grey_whiskers]

Throw him out. Drain the swamp.

[Buckeye McFrog]

uhh.....Mitch, here’s a clue.....the Democrats ARE NEVER GOING TO BE INTERESTED IN ENTITLEMENT REFORM!!!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

McConnell

Years lost in space      a few moments of Trump praise      back to normal...

[NorthMountain]

“I think the Democrats are not going to be interested in entitlement reform so I would not expect to see that on the agenda,” McConnell said.

Why do the democRATs get to set the agenda for a Republican controlled Senate? Show some spine, Mitch!
