DeceptiCon ruler Mitch McConnell is the ultimate abuser in the relationship of the Republican Party to its base of voters.
During a series of remarks at a Kentucky Chamber of Commerce convention Tuesday, the Senate Minority Leader went right back to his familiar pattern of telling voters they should listen to who he says is acceptable or not acceptable as a 2022 Republican candidate.
Those of you who have walked the deep political weeds with us, will remember the battles against McConnell’s uniparty wing in the 2010, 2012 and 2014 races. This is where McConnell and McCain famously called the base of the GOP “whack-o-birds” and “jihobbits” for supporting unsanctioned Senate candidates like Scott Brown, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and more.
(KENTUCKY) – […] McConnell, speaking at a chamber event in Kentucky, said that 1994 had been the best year for Republicans and that the atmosphere heading into November “is better than it was in 1994.”
“From an atmospheric point of view, it’s a perfect storm of problems for the Democrats,” McConnell said. “How could you screw this up? It’s actually possible. And we’ve had some experience with that in the past.”
“In the Senate, if you look at where we have to compete in order to get into a majority, there are places that are competitive in the general election. So you can’t nominate somebody who’s just sort of unacceptable to a broader group of people and win. We had that experience in 2010 and 2012,” McConnell added. (read more)

This guy is such a profound manipulator it is almost sickening. After the 2008 election, the Democrats had a 60-seat majority. A veto-proof majority. Mitch was the minority with 40 Republican senators in January 2009. It was the Tea Party that changed it all around, starting with Scott Brown in December of 2009.
In the specific races McConnell points out in 2010 and 2012 were races where the Tea Party base of the GOP actually produced more seats for the Republicans, culminating in a successful majority reestablished in the Senate in 2014. The Republicans did nothing with that majority and couldn’t even get rid of the Obamacare mandate which they campaigned on with eight years of promises.
McConnel is UNACCEPTABLE! This CORRUPTOCRAT has got to go. He has been a LEADER in the CORRUPTION of the federal government.
What a SLIMEBALL McConnell is.
Anarchy ( self rule) is preferable to the uniparty!
Its preferable to EVERY form of government. Government is the greatest evil ever created by man. Prove me wrong.
I can’t, you’re 100% correct.
Yes, only vote for RINO POSs like him. Why his constituents haven’t decorated a lamppost with him by now is a mystery.
Horse head in the bed
you can thank Donald Trump for endorsing this SOB.
Trump has been very critical of the Turtle . . . pay attention man . . .
When will the people in Kentucky finally wake the hell up and send McConnell packing?
Hopefully the voters in Alaska will get that done in November!!
The hubris of GOPe McConnell instructing, nee threatening the GOP base on how they “better” vote isn’t surprising. What is, is how many politically ignorant libertarian/conservative GOP’ers will follow McConnell’s orders.
He instructs because the fix is in. They are arrogant because the voters are now irrelevant. Elections are rigged rituals.
Have been rigged for decades
McConMANell makes the HOC’s Spacey character look like a fine upstanding gentleman.
Gotta vote for your GOP candidates in November regardless of who they are. The House and Senate majorities are #1 important right now. What Mitch and other Republicans should be doing is spelling this out for voters.
Counterpoint- it is not #1 important regardless of who they are.
Wake up and remember the Crybaby Boehner/Omnibus Ryan/MaoConnell glory days of 2010-2016. They gave Hussein Obama’s agenda a bipartisan seal of approval.
And after Trump was elected, they did NOTHING but undermine him and his MAGA agenda.
Why don’t we just ask Pelosi or Hilary who is acceptable? No difference. The smug arrogance of these Dominion installed crook traitors is disgusting.
It’s their decision Mitch, not yours.
Hypocrite, RINO, two-faced liar. Who does he believe he is to tell us how to vote? He needs to be removed along with the other RINO’s Their days of corruption and self-interests are over. We the People are taking back our Constitutional Republic which is governed by and for The People! There are still millions of us who have been taught our rights and not brainwashed in the corrupt Union funded educational system along with those smart enough to Home School their children . America will be saved and preserved and we will not become slaves to these elites because God is in control. And He will take them down. Alleluia!!
China Mitch is someone who says something, and if you are smart, do the opposite.
