Old Granny Mitch has been shooting-off his mouth again.
Here’s what The New York Times reported and McConnell has not denied saying [tip of the fedora to Jazz Shaw]:
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell predicted the GOP establishment will destroy conservative insurgents attempting to unseat a trio incumbents in an interview with the New York Times published on Sunday.
“I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” McConnell said. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”
Spoken like a true Useful Idiot of the Left Republican.
Over at his joint, Dan Riehl lays out the case why McConnell’s ‘Poor Leadership Needs To End One Way Or Another‘.
Please read the whole indictment, but here’s a highlight from it:
…it was Mitch McConnell working to keep the shutdown meme in the news purely as a way of demonizing Cruz and any and all of the more conservative members of the Republican Party.
In essence, while claiming to be a good leader, instead of quickly putting the shutdown behind the GOP, as a good leader would, he worked to divide the party even more purely for his own selfish advantage. Those are not the actions of a good leader. They are the actions of a self-serving, small-minded power hungry politician who has already been in Washington far too long.
Dan is so angered by McConnell’s actions that he is prepared to take this step:
I’m quite serious when I say that I am now so disgusted with McConnell’s weak and divisive leadership, if he does beat Bevin in the primary, I would then prefer to see his Democrat opponent win in the general because I am absolutely convinced he’s the wrong man to continue to have a leadership role in the GOP going forward.
He needs to go, even at the cost of seeing a Democrat elected in Kentucky….
I suspect he is not alone in his thinking.
I’m with Dan on this one. Mitch McConnell is disgrace and must be removed from the levers of Power no matter if the loss of his seat to a Democrat means the GOP will not gain control of the Senate next year.
What good would it do for our struggle to restore our freedoms and liberties as Americans if the man running a Republican-controlled Senate is our enemy, someone who has vowed to ‘crush’ us.
All this talk of gaining control of both Houses of the Congress and then fighting for what we believe in is pure Leftist-worthy Wishful Thinking [aka: fantasy].
Those people who would lead the House and Senate will all be Quislings like Granny Mitch and Cryin’ John because they will save any ruthlessness they have for defeating conservatives. Think about this: they would rather remain in the minority then let any more Ted Cruzes and Mike Lees into their Establishment Club [see: Lugar, Richard].
No…McConnell and Boehner and their leadership teams must be consigned to the reserved box of life’s failures at the Dog Track.
GOP Establishment Delenda Est!
