Election defeats naturally create circular firing squads, but the last few days have seen a more directed effort to put Minority Leader Mitch McConnell against a wall and shoot him at dawn.
The MAGA forces in the party, eager to deflect blame from Donald Trump for the failure to take the Senate, are pointing fingers at McConnell. Trump himself wrote on his Truth Social network, “It’s Mitch McConnell’s fault.” Meanwhile, there is agitation in the caucus to delay this week’s scheduled leadership vote in the hopes that some viable alternative to McConnell will emerge.

This is why so many conservatives have abandoned NR. It’s a predictably pseudo-conservative publication. It’s a surrogate for McConnell. Has been for a long time.https://t.co/f0kxePnzpZ— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) November 14, 2022
NR=BS.
The “Blame” goes to those coward into silence about vote fraud, refusing to examine the evidence.
So stick with McConnell. Deepstate dip$4its
so b!tch is NOT in charge of dolling out campaign money and starved winnable races???
no! Wrong!
Mitch has been a problem for a long time! The election just highlighted how bad he is for this country.
No circular firing squad! We have been after him for a long time
Reason why we haven’t supported National Review since disco was king.
Trump gave us relief from McConnell in 2016. Maybe it’s time again. One thing is for sure: When McConnell runs the show, our vote DOES NOT COUNT!!!!!!
Thanks for the advice NR, what else do you recommend? Sticking a fork in the electric socket? Calling the biggest dude at the a bar a dress wearing fairy? Believing a Democrat?
Does everyone remember the special all-Never-Trumper issue?
All that hate and disdain for the man who did more than all the staffers and writers for National Review did in decades?
And won without them.
Election defeats?
Where we defeated ?!?
Or were we defrauded ?!?
Yet again.
Take a firm strong stand against the FRAUD or be replaced !
National Review is full of crap
The National Spew
“most of the case against him is malicious and ill-conceived. “
I think I’m going to be ill. Why would anyone believe anything coming from the Vichy National Review?
Says anti-Trumper NR. Go blow it out your asses!
NR; providing humorous entertainment that SNL doesn’t.
Why does McConnell only have 7% support among voters, National Review? Hmm.
