In an identical rehash of Republican Senator Mitch McConnell’s purge of Tea Party populism in 2012, a decade later Mitch McConnell gives his perspective on the 2022 midterm election by saying the MAGA populists were just too extreme for independent voters. If only, the professionally political would have listened to his program and made the white wine spritzer crowd comfier, Republicans would have won.
This is the exact same playbook McConnell used in 2012 to align with his Democrat party friends and destroy the Tea Party movement. Those who wear sweaters on their shoulders and live amid the high-minded tribes, were just “too frightened” of the unwashed Republican candidates in 2022. Seriously, those are his words, “too frightened.” WATCH:
.
Most casual political observers have absolutely no idea how McConnell works. However, for over a decade CTH has been trying –mostly failing– to awaken the base of commonsense voters. In 2010, 2011 and 2012 the #1 priority for McConnell was to destroy the threat represented by the Tea Party. In 2022 we are seeing an exact replay of the same intents and purposes, only this time the target is President Trump’s MAGA movement.

Keep in mind this is the same Mitch McConnell who was challenged by the audience during a 2017 Rotary Club meeting in Kentucky, about why he refused to support the election priorities of President Trump. McConnell responded, “I’d ask for a show of hands, but I know everybody’s saying, ‘been there, haven’t done anything,’ which I find extremely irritating — and I’m going to tell you why.”
McConnell continued, “a Congress goes on for two years. Part of the reason I think that the storyline is that we haven’t done much is because, in part, the president and others have set these early timelines about things need to be done by a certain point,” he said. Then came the kicker, “our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before, and I think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the Democratic process.”
Ah, the customs, traditions and parliamentary norms of the Senate were to blame for republican intransigence on the Trump agenda. President Trump held “excessive expectations” as to what could be done to support the America-First agenda in the senate.
According to Mitch McConnell, it was Trump’s fault for thinking a Republican majority Senate would work to support the American middle-class.
Comments like that reveal for most what the true motive of Senator McConnell is all about. It is a motive and agenda all wrapped up in the senate power structure.
McConnell does not fear being in the minority; the color of the flag atop the spire of the UniParty Senate does not matter to those underneath it. McConnell maneuvers with just as much power in the minority as he does in the majority.
In fact, McConnell makes more money selling his DeceptiCon caucus votes to Chuck Schumer (on behalf of Wall Street) than he does in the majority where he is forced to purchase them.
Indeed, the entire scheme is a rigged game, as Christopher Bedford realized last year and wrote in The Federalist [SEE HERE] after Mitch McConnell delivered his post-election impeachment floor speech. A ploy to destroy the MAGA movement with Trump removed:
THE FEDERALIST – […] “So what’s all behind this? After four years of yelling “MAGA!” while pushing his own classic, corporate Republican policies, McConnell had hoped to rid himself and his conference of the conservative populist nationalism the former president had championed and go back to the way things were.
He wants a return to promising to tackle illegal immigration before winking at corporate America that nothing will change. He wants to raise money on fighting the abortion of our infants while comfortably lifting nary a finger. He wants to shrug and change the subject when asked about men dominating women’s sports and using women’s bathrooms. He wants fewer taxes and more wars. Hell, he wants someone to blame for the Republican losses in the Georgia special election, and with them the loss of his seat at the head of the Senate.
Instead, his push to impeach ended with rebuke from his own conference. Angry and embarrassed, he blamed his own colleagues as well as the former president, performing a 20-minute attack ad for the left to use on Republicans for the next election cycle and beyond.” (read more)
Through his power structure, McConnell directly controls about 8 to 15 Republican senators; we have called them “The Decepticons” for years. [Cornyn, Thune, Porter, Blunt, Portman, Burr, Barasso, Crapo, Murkowski, Gardner, Roberts, Sasse, Tillis, Rubio, Graham, Romney, and now, Tim Scott]
McConnell has a well-used playbook he deploys to retain power at all costs and select candidates that will be indebted to his Senate schemes. The 2022 Senate candidates have been up against the same Mitch McConnell club machine that readers here are very familiar with.
To remind ourselves how Minority and Majority Senator McConnell took down the threat of the Tea Party, revisit these old articles: CNN Part I and CNN Part II both showcase how McConnell works. Then do some research on how McConnell worked with Haley Barbour in Mississippi [SEE HERE].
For those who follow the deep weeds of politics, McConnell’s schemes are brutally transparent. For the remaining 97% of the voting electorate, they still don’t understand how the UniParty works. Decepticon leader McConnell doesn’t want the American electorate to see purchased Senate Republicans voting NO on border security.
McConnell must preserve the trough. Yes, Democrats are ‘our’ opponents; they are ideological enemies to freedom and a constitutional republic. However, just as dangerous an enemy is Mitch McConnell; the man who builds and fills the Trojan Horses that are presented to the voters every two years in order to maintain the illusion of choice.

F The Turdle before he F’s U.
Mitch McConnell is full of turtle excrement. He is flat out lying and he knows it.
McConnell is a progressive. He is pro abortion pro gun control pro open immigration and pro gay. The judges he approv9 are not conservative. They are pro wall Street corporatists vetted by the federalist society. Conservativism is dead and buried
Mc really wants to believe the base is as afraid of MAGA as he is.
Ummm, the base is MAGA.
Of course! It is a projection of the political powers fears of the populist base that he must attempt to divide somehow
Mitch is reciting his jobama buddy view of MAGA and all of GOPe viewpoint
I don’t think so. I think these GOP Leaders are fully aware that what they are saying is — crap. They are just playing games.
But this is an extremely serious game. — Because, all this talk about “scary MAGA” — in conditioning the battlefield for —- Laws that will criminalize Opposition.
This is the GOP Leadership doing its part to prepare for Hate Speech Laws + the like.
In short, they are joining in the Demonization to pave the way for legislation that will gut the Bill of Rights… or at minimum, it’s an effort to condition the masses to accept it when the FBI + DOJ + DHS ignore violations of the Bill of Rights as they round dissidents up….
Pre election showed how popular the candidates were and how far up they were before the steal.
The man who is married to someone with direct ties back to her communist homeland that filled their bank accounts should have never been allowed in any public office.
Surely there must be some scandal of such epic proportions that once revealed, could not be buried, and would topple this Kentucky monster in an instant. Please somebody….come forward now with the evidence. Personally, my hope is that President Trump has something near to this in his back pocket, an is waiting for the right time to use it.
As SanJac points out, the scandal is RIGHT THERE they aren’t even TRYING to make a pretence of hiding it!
Mcs wifes family got Billion$ loan, to start a shipping company, to ship all that cheap breaks the first time you use it crap from China.
And nobody does squat about it.
Sex scandals, THEY cause Senators to resign, But OPEN and blatantly obvious graft and corruption, no way!
You are of course correct. When we accept graft and corruption as normal for political leaders, why should we expect anything different? I don’t know what it will take to change that.
Wasn’t one of the ships busted for cocain. Seems there was something written about tht several years ago
is FTX good enough?
He now gets to own what’s coming. May it be fully so.
Buckle up.

Everyone now understands the whole temple (the government, Wall Street, the medical industrial complex, the corporations, and even the churches) is diseased and must come down on their heads, correct?
The beauty of it is . . .
They bring it down themselves.
Just enough rope. Watch.
Build the new house. Let the fall of the old house kill the termites.
May God hear our prayers, heal our land, and bless our endeavors as we start the final demolition and the new construction, on the wings of a new birth of freedom.
Well Mitch, the number of your fans are diminishing.
On the bright side, you have Murkowski firmly in your corner!
Why don’t you just say it Mitch, you are forever in the China over the U.S. camp and nothing is going to change that.
We need the number of his fans in Kentucky to diminish so that someone can replace him. Unfortunately we’re stuck with this steaming glob of dog poo on the bottom of our shoe til Jan 2027. He’s not up for re-election until 2026.
Nice picture. It’s hard to imagine that Satan wants those two forever.
We can’t reform this party.
It’s not possible.
Screw ’em.
I’d rather be a pure minority party than in the foxhole with these traitors who stab you in the back.
It is interesting to think about the power a MAGA party could wield, even if in the minority for an extended time.
Could it possibly be less than it is with MAGA voters loyally continuing to vote Republican, like most of us here do?
I really don’t know the answer to that.
Research the origin of the R party. There had been numerous parties that started as “anti-slavery” but TPTB succesfully supressed them (sound familiar) but then the R party, started as grass roots with evengelical christians, Quakers, and others who opposed slavery pushed the issue “into the public eye” enough so that WHIGS (RINOS Great grandpas, I suspect) who had no problem with slavery, but noticed the traction, and saw the POLITICAL advantage, brought the R’s in, and allowed them the stage, while they receded behind the curtain, to be stage MANAGER.
At least, thats my take.
RINOS, used to call them “country club Republicans” before that “Rockerfeller Republicans” and I suspect originally they were “Whigs”.
So, made a “deal with the devil” for political expediency in the beginning, and have had these barstuds standing on our necks, ever since.
A Good German is as guilty as the Leadership ordering the evil deeds…
It’s my belief that we in the MAGA Party are not in the minority. We are just invisible to most, and many of us believe the lies told by the mainstream media and the people in power.
Look how hard they had to cheat, and how obvious it became that they were cheating in WI, PA, AZ, GA, MI both in 2020 and in 2022. Look at how we made them work to expose themselves while they cheated. It’s so obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
I think if President Trump would formally form the MAGA Party, with clear and well-laid out plans, the exodus from the RNC and DNC would create a giant sucking sound of the dollars leaving Win-Red, Ronna McDaniel, et. al., and we would discover just who we truly are – and it would be too obvious to be downplayed or ignored.
Possible. But I’d like to find out.
I mean seriously, what have we and President Trump got to lose by forming our own Party? Another stolen election?
We have already been declared “the greatest threat to democracy,” by Biden, parents have been called ‘terrorists’ for not wanting their kids reading smut or raped in the bathrooms of middle schools, ‘far right extremists,’and the Republican Party pols we voted for holding our noses have used and abused us
I’m done.
With “clear and well-laid out plans,” I believe there is a majority to be constructed from those disaffected from the Uniparty. Independent or non-aligned has been a majority for some time now, and many of the allegedly extreme views of MAGA already have wide support.
We are a majority and what you wrote about others joining, ……most in this great land WANT America First. Sure, the MSM will label a new party “Extremist” “Fascist”, who cares. Run on tariffing everything US companies manufacture out of country and ship back, taxing the SH!t out of the super rich (they hate regular folk anyway) If you run for office in the new party, you’re tax filing is publicly available.
There are still many Patriots who are elected Republicans but the current party leadership are beyond redemption. A new party may take a few cycles to mature but the hardcore Democrats will slowly educate even the dumbest that D policies aren’t working out. Got to think farther than two years two years
When’s McFail going to hand the reins over to John “The Goon” Thune ?
Thats “the plan” and why Thune, who had announced he was retiring, changed his mind.
They KNOW their leadership is ancient, so they have a “line of succession” every bit as tight as the official one for POTUS; Thune for McConnell, Scalise for McCarthy, and everybody moves up one, and NOTHING Changes.
.
This is such a ‘Rich Strike’, Mitcthy.
Surely you do not run crippled horses to eke out a winning wager, right?
The playbook won’t work this time, because the narrative control the MSM had around 2010 no longer exists. MAGA is not going anywhere. The real challenge is to fix broken election laws in places like AZ the enable massive voter fraud.
That’s no longer possible. They have ensured that the state will never be allowed to vote freely for anyone who will ensure clean elections. Same with MI, PA, NV, and others.
It can be done. Sacrifice and resolve would do it.
Glad Great Britain and Winston Churchill chose not to think that way.
The challenge is to use a wide variety of Civil Disobedience + Civil Rights Activities to hound the traitors out of office despite stolen elections. Make it as difficult as we can for them to go about their daily business of screwing the country…
As long as the economy continues to tank and the UniParty seeks the big reset, MAGA will only get stronger until we defeat the corporate fascists.
CoCo Chow made him do it. So Gross
McConnell one of the wealthiest members of the U.S. Senate, with a net worth of more than $25 million. His personal wealth was increased after receiving a 2008 personal gift to him and his wife, given by his father-in-law James S. C. Chow after the death of McConnell’s mother-in-law, whose value has been estimated to be $5–25 million.
I believe Tip O’Neil said something similar to Jimmy Carter, along the lines of “he just doesn’t understand how the House works”. Speaker of the house is no different than a mob boss – my way or the highway. Arrogant jerks.
I hear McConnell and then check the government website for the reporting of new Jan 6 arrests, more Jan 6 protestors being sent to jail. This is every day. My anger is cold.
Hell is too good for the SOB.
McConnell and his agenda is extremist.
“This is the exact same playbook McConnell used in 2012 to align with his Democrat party friends and destroy the Tea Party movement. “
This time we have a leader.
“Trump isn’t our candidate. He’s our murder weapon. And the GOP is our victim.“
The MEGA candidates paid dearly. All I can think of is the theft and fraud of this midterm election. No one is coming forward to acknowledge what was done. Kari Lake especially. I will vote one more time for,Trump and tht is it. No more. I can’t stomach this any longer. Pelosie McConnell both should be rotting in hell by now but their rotted out old bodies live on
mitch is a pathetic scab.
Yes, I am part of that “extreme” group of voters who wants a balanced budget, a secure border, an effective foreign policy, a secure and honest election system where absentee ballots are allowed, early voting stopped, same day count with extreme integrity, and a one man one vote verifiable reality.
I don’t expect to change my so called “extreme” wants…they seem logical to me and I suspect millions of other Americans.
Joni Ernst belongs on the Decepticon roster.
Yep, I remember when she first ran as tea party and basically said she would castrate the dems. Now it appears she wants to castrate MAGA.
For those who don’t remember she was a pig farmer before a congressman.
….lipstick
and a wig
Unfortunately all the Iowa federal offices are now firmly in decepticon control. All 4 House seats and both Senators are RINO-cons. The state is under full control of the Branstad/Grassley wing. Grassley purchased the Speaker of the House for his grandson – who I think will end up in Grandpa’s Senate seat sometime in the next few years. Any challenge by MAGA opponents are subsequently ignored.
Senator Grassley had a America First challenger this last primary. Media completely shut him out, Grassley refused to debate him and all the donors were threatened to not support him or else. Grassley’s negative approval was as high as 45%. Chuck didn’t even hardly campaign and didn’t spend much money either. As I watched the primary returns scroll across my screen the night of the primary I could tell the numbers were shall we say…suspicious.
Nothing will change either. One of President Trump’s Iowa Campaign heads is none other than Branstad’s son. You can do your own research on the Branstad family by reading Red-Handed, the book by Peter Schweizer.
This time he will fail.
We are quick learners, and our resolve is steadfast. He’s about to hit an immovable object, head on.
Repeal 17.
I don’t believe you’ve failed in alerting people to the ways of McConnell. It’s that they don’t know what to do about it. The old turtle needs to be toppled, but few want that job.
Mitch McConnell is the extremist. Anyone who puts Ukraine Nazis over American citizens is an extremist nut-job. Take a hike Mitch , and take your whopping 7% approval rating with you.
If there was a Maga Party, that would mean we would have two parties.
Actually voters see their vote having the same power as their dollar.
The Fed prints worthless currency and the left prints worthless ballots.
More dollars are needed to buy goods and more ballots are needed to buy elections.
Show Mitch McConnell the door please!
Did Lindsay follow through with his anti-abortion bill?
Lindsay is not that forward-thinking. He’s an attention whore who simply moves from one headline to another. He’s a diva, a self-important, demanding, temperamental or difficult person (usually a woman) to please.
Graham only floated that boat to give the Dems a line for their campaign mailers.
STOP THE GOP FROM OUTLAWING WOMENS RIGHTS!
this whole votes vs ballots thing has fully explained how guys like this keep getting elected.
in reality…they haven’t.
the actual votes have kicked them out of office umpteen times over the decades.
they haven’t been elected.
they’ve been bought.
bought by the same people who’ve bought those pre-printed ballots.
it all makes sense.
i’ve often wondered how kentucky keeps electing this clown.
they don’t.
and haven’t.
the fake ballots did.
they aren’t elected.
they are merchandise.
bought and paid for.
He literally thinks he’s God
And as the Irish like to say-
“He’s got more years behind him than in front of him”.
He’s in for a rude awakening.
China Mitch has successfully won the minority in the senate. This keeps the illusion going of the two party system. Unfortunately those that have critical thinking skills know that even if the republicans won a slim majority, they have RINOs that will vote with marxist party. So we really can’t vote our way out of the humongous federal power grab. The unrecognized cheat by the uniparty exposes their efforts to turn states like Arizona and Pennsylvania into strongholds for the establishment.
Now is the time for a third party
My suggestion to PDJT: Don’t do rally any more, especially in states like Arizona, Michigan, etc. Use money to establish many NGOs to do exact what Democrats do: ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, etc. That should give him better chance to win in 2024.
If we don’t fight like the UNIPARTY, we may as well lay down and die. This is no longer a time for morals, its a time for war!
If only lightening were to strike liars and thieves he wouldn’t even be a footnote in history.
My repulsion for him is the same I have for Obama.
DITCH MITCH- the SONofaBitch !
I have walked away from The Republican Party and it feels good!
No party Preference!
But what’s your voting plan? If you don’t vote all-GOP then you help the Dems.
WAKE UP SERENA- Who gives a damn about Reps and Dems? They are THE SAME.
As it is now we LOSE at every turn.
I’m going to vote for and support folks I know will serve the people.
The Tea Party, with its very public threat to work to primary REPUBLICAN Congressional Leadership, was obviously and openly a threat to the REPUBLICAN wing of the Uniparty.
PDJT’s MAGA movement was built directly on the ruins of the Tea Party, and was again an attempt to destroy the Uniparty, by attacking and dismantling the GOPd RINO leadership.
And so, of COARSE Mitch and co. fought hard and dirty, to save themselves from attack by the unwashed masses.
THIS is the battle; MAGA vs GOPe, and concern about “beating Dems” at this point is a distraction.
There can be no “Party Unity” of MAGA +RINO, joining in common cause to “beat the Dems” that has ALWAYS been a myth.
IMHO, either PDJT declares war on the GOPe, or its over.
No more endorsing RINOS, cause the Dems are worse, and State R parties have prevented any MAGA Candidates from gaining traction.
WAR or capitualtion, there can be no middle ground.
I’m just waiting for the official declaration to dispense with the pleasantries.
They need to be politically destroyed, as the threat they are. No quarter can be afforded.
Welcome aboard the MAGA train.
Yeah-Blake Masters is really scary. Same with Don Bolduc. Tiffany in WA was terrifying. They only people they scare are the professional swamp dwellers.
Caroline Leavitt in NH; such a loss. A smart, young candidate.
Beautiful Kari Lake, the perfect candidate. May God destroys these bastards
If they re-elect McConnell then I’ll never vote Republican again. If they won’t listen to their voters then screw them.
I’m finished.
If I were Trump I would be announcing the formation of a new Party tonight.
I have always said, Turkey Neck is the most dangerous person in America.
Nancy , Schumer …imagine what Frank Linz has on McCarthy …. Detest all of them. This is a war tht cannot be fought, it is beyond MAGA
The establishment rethuglicons will join the democrats for majorities in the senate and the house of horrors on all global agendas.
McCONnell, the slime of the Swamp.
It should be clear —- all the talk about “This or that is the reason we lost” — is complete + utter traitorous —- bullshit.
To steal the Election from Trump — the Elites had to have fundamental cooperation by all the key centers of power including the GOP in Congress.
So, whenever some Big Player on the Right – who knew well ahead of time the Election was going to be stolen —- begins to explain why the Voters were turned off by this or that —— someone should rush up + punch them hard in the face….
I had realized Congress is just one big Kabuki Theatre for the masses before 2020. I knew our institutions are corrupt to the marrow of the bones + when all the changes in Voting + Vote Counting were being written in key swing states + the GOP didn’t fight them —– I knew GOP Leadership would do nothing to stop the Theft.
Now – finally – after brazenly stealing 2 big “elections” — I’m no longer in the minority. Everyone can see it.
Now, we have a far better chance of fighting back… We have to. Surrender is not an option with the Great Reset. The Social Engineers have to be stopped… Then we have to gain parity in our social institutions. Parity at minimum.
McConnell needs to be recalled…….soon.
Would require an election. Elections are rigged.
You can’t vote your way out of tyranny when the tyrants run the process.
Only way up and out in down. Bend the knee to God. That’s it.
The Turtle should be mocked and then ignored.
That Oz in Pennsylvania was such an extreme guy.
Wt about Kari Lake.
The Groupies that enrich themselves at the expense of Americans have spoken.
Sundance will you be posting a link to President Trump’s Message tonight? I would like to hear his verbal skinning of this POS!
How evil is McConnell??
Today in the Federalist there was an article outlining that first on the senate agenda will be the Uniparty push to ratify “The Respect for Marriage Act”.
Already passed in the House with the help of 47 debauched RINOS, this Act is an abomination.
It will codify same sex marriage into federal law.
Not highlighted is that it will also “require federal recognition of any one state’s definition of marriage without any parameters, ” including “open marriage and MARRIAGES INVOLVING A MINOR OR RELATIVE…”
As bad as this is…and it is so evil I have no words for it…this is just another unholy, ungodly step towards legalizing paedophilia.
This is McConnell. This is a man who has sold his soul. This is a depraved creature who is doing the bidding of Moloch.
I am left, for once, without words.
How Almighty God does not usher in the same punishment on what we have become, as He did with Sodom and Gommorah, is beyond me.
We are beyond help.
Good lord.
I know that I will have nothing to do with these debaucheries and perversions of marriage.
It still means something to me to honor it, as our creator intended.
They want our children, our gifts from God, RF. Justice Kennedy opened that door with his unconstitutional ruling on gay marriage….Tue foot on the door paedophiles were all hoping for.
As Shakespeare wrote, “Hell is empty, and All the devils are here.”
McConnell has joined them.
They mean to end us by taking our futures away from us all.
These children are our legacy, as we all were for our parents.
To permanently change the course of our culture, the children are the target of all manners of evil.
There aren’t enough millstones in this world…
Don’t worry Betsy, we will get there. We’re just at the beginning of the end.
It would certainly seem so, Patrick.
How Almighty God does not usher in the same punishment on what we have become, as He did with Sodom and Gommorah, is beyond me.
—————————————–
He’s working on it by allowing our elections to be stolen by agents of “principalities and powers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places”.
Of course none of this matters (Sundance’s or our comments and opinions) as the ONLY thing that matters is what are the majority of the Republican caucus going to say and frankly after watching and listening to the two RINOs from Tennessee (Blackburn and Hagerty) my guess is McConnell has it all locked up his way.
Hmm so now I mention God and tranny and get “awaiting approval.”
Everybody is – you’re not the lone ranger. We’re moderating by hand right now.
Under that suit and tie is his Commie jacket – twinsies with co-commie, Joe Biden, et al.
