Earlier today, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell discussed the greatest problem for the Republican Party as it exists with voters. Allowing people to vote is not in the best interests of the Republican Party. If the politicians could just devise a government system that didn’t need voters to support it, things would be much better.
As noted by Mitch McConnell, “Our ability to control the primary outcome was quite limited in 2022 because of the support of the former president. Hopefully in the next cycle, we’ll have quality candidates everywhere.” Unless and until the Republican Party can figure out how to get around the voting, installing the correct type of Republicans will always be problematic.
The ability of the American people to vote is THE major hurdle for the Republican Senate leadership to overcome. WATCH:
.
Ron DeSantis NEVER criticizes the GOP leadership. Because he knows he will need to lean on them heavily in the 2024 primary.
Just wait – all of Con Inc. and the DeSantis 2024 stans will be shilling hard for Team McConnell and the GOP Leadership come primary season and lay all of the blame at Trump’s feet.
Exactly 💯 💯
And what, exactly, is wrong with that? Using them does not mean you have to let them use you. I, for one, do not think that DeSantis will enter the primary for 2024 unless Trump withdraws, but if he does, he should never unecessarily criticize anyone he needs. That was one of Trump’s biggest failings. And I love Trump. Just calling it like I see it.
McConnell disgusts me, but he is a political reality for now.
DeSantis has a couple of major issues bearing down on him, that are going to test his reputation as a forceful leader really quickly. The banks are using property insurance to steal homes in Florida. There’s been a lot of call for a special session of the legislature to fix this using the total force of government. We will see how he handles that. It’s not possible to duck that one. The other one is, we talk about Joe Biden opening the Border, Ron DeSantis has opened the border to Florida coming from the southwest. The biggest industry down here is building apartments and taking lavish care of those people here in Florida. And he’s silent on that. And that’s going to blow up in his face too. It’s impossible to avoid. So let’s just keep watching and see how he does
Plus….the fact is desantis couldn’t go to 70% of the states and get 1000 people to show up…sorry…outside of con inc and fla….most have no clue or interest in him..
Quality candidates don’t need no stinking crowds.
Crowds VOTE!
But ‘votes’ don’t matter here in the 21st Century!
Really, so name me one?
High-Quality candidates create grass roots crowds who WANT to show up to support their candidate.
DeSantis is a traitor. ANYONE being blind to this has a personal interest in Ron (might live in Florida)
I see no evidence of that at all. I see an ambitious man who Sundance theorizes might sell his soul for a few shekels. And I’m willing to entertain the thought that he is right about that. He’s been right lots of times before. We will see.
the point is – IF you cant defend yourself against them – they will absorb you.
PDJT had enough money and time with security lifestyle.
Ron doesnt. to small. He follows coat tails. and saw PDJT’s as not as easy.
Yes, that is his Achilles heel for sure. I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise. But I have a great respect for Sundance’s spidey senses on these matters. And I think that’s what he tries to do. Open your eyes and get you paying attention.
And let’s include Operation Warp Speed. Even though Trump was blindsided he hasn’t gotten in front of this train that’s aimed at him. Today RD asked the Florida Supreme Court to convene a grand jury to investigate the death shot. An albatross hanging on the neck of our president. Information is forthcoming about the effects of this killer and Trump will inherit the blame.
Do ANY OF US understand the difference between removing road blocks of an already ineveitable project that was in progress and going forward no matter what, and personally being involved in making a defective product and falsely marketing it?
Yes. Fortunately I think most critical-thinking Deplorables understand exactly what happened in 2020 where President Trump was AGAIN deliberately and incorrectly informed by traitorous advisors as to the efficacy and quality of the Covid Quackcines that were created so rapidly.
Nonetheless I understand why PDJT is reticent to reverse course and begin criticizing the quackcines that he so heavily promoted in 2020 and 2021. He NEVER mandated them and advised STRONGLY against mandates. Since it is widely accepted that he never says anything publicly without careful consideration of how it will be inferred, I believe he suspected all along there was significant risk involved.
And those critically – thinking Deplorables understand that it was Mike Pence who was in charge of the federal Covid Task Force. He ran the day – to – day operations of that group not PDJT.
I do not watch reruns,nor the written ones.
This is McConnell’s last tour of duty, I’ll bet. He’s never been this transparent about not being conservative, has he? He’s just collecting his final paychecks and I’m sure they’re whoppers.
Just like the whole Ronna vs Harmeet episode, they will appear to give us new leadership once he steps down.
I can’t believe any of us felt bad for that old snapperhead when he was run out of that restaurant.
Hoping he doesn’t live long enough to enjoy those huge $$$$ from vile and corrupt lobbyists.
So?
Where’s the verified action by another in the U.S. that proves another has done better?
It’s not ( factually ) there either nationally or internationally.
( oh sure, some will try smoke and mirrors / wooden-nickels., empty rhetoric…
but
to be exposed as smoke clears in some minds,
that there is a lack of verified facts / actions of pteviously doing better – nationally / internationally.)
The competition has to look where their bread is being buttered. That can be cumbersome / bureacratic when relying upon others funds.
Counters:
– Fresh gop leadership and overhaul of priorities ( solid candidates – with proof of good actions, at their cost –
and choosing people with proven ways to win makes sense.
– ( prior ) proof of positive actions make sense both nationally and internationally. Use it.
– Promises made
Promises kept – share the verified many ways
and
– plan to do it again
plus be nimble ( including independent backgrounds checks ) so to be better able ( with people’s concurrence ) to improvise the plan and implementations.
In the neantime, the ‘fixed’ ballot counting system needs an overhaul / repair such that 1 legal vote is counted as such, each time ( with no other subtraction or additions that do not apply).
Perhaps the most dangerous man in America.
Him and Fauci…
Mitch is the death knell to the Republican Party. Leader of corruption and graft.
Who owns Mitch? –
why run to be a representative of this country if you dont even like the Women that are citizens of it?
Mitch can see China from his bed.
PRC…..they openly gifted him a younger WIFE and $25M as a wedding gift
👉That picture 📸 of the Old Crow is the picture of antiConstitutional treason👈
Missing is his commy wife!
Control? It’s up to the voters to decide the outcome of elections NOT installed politicians..
The Supreme Court would like to hear that case but they won’t.
You mean according to the U.S. Constitution and most state laws it is up to voters to determine who is elected into office.
Unfortunately most Democrats and too many Republicans are ignoring those laws with impunity.
Wrong, Mitch. The Republican party picked the candidates. That is how it works. Trump just found candidates he could support. Trump had a good record on candidates except in states with corruption rampant–AZ, PA, GA– just to name a few.
Mitch McConnell has been controlling the primary outcome in Kentucky for a long time. He assured that no one of any competency ran against him. We’ve been trying to “Ditch Mitch” to no avail.
He may have been voted out by the people who voted but Mitch can’t lose he’s to important to the uniparty. Cheating has been going on a lot longer than we thought.
Whenever Mitch speaks to a microphone he likes to be surrounded by the walking dead. It’s revolting.
Only the dead and dumb believe him.
This poorly unconvincing written speech was written for the corporate media to bomblast on the uniformed voters who watch the number one enemy of the people. Thank the propagandists in the media. A source of well groomed fabricated lies.
Mitch is one of the worst orators ever.
IMO.
Notice that none of our Senate oligarchs like this piece of human scum McConnell ever dares to walk alone. Never.
Whenever you see them they are surrounded by people who are there to protect them- especially this creep.
You have to ask, what are they so afraid of that they can’t go out in public without bodyguards? Are the people never allowed to question them or hold them to account?
Guess the answer is NO.
That’s Thune, his understudy, the Skeletor fella.
check out the eyes on Thune
Sinister.
One of the deadest, Roy Blunt, will be stepping aside shortly for our former AG Eric Schmidt. I have hopium that he will be one of our fighters but our other senator, though I like him, seems to have some sort of leash on.
Waaaay too many people miss the importance of the primaries.
Bingo!!
IMO he has been more destructive to America, the American people and our Constitution than any leftist.
Where is Mitch’s outrage over the trafficking of children?
Where is Mitch’s outrage over the fentanyl deaths and illegal drugs flooding over the border.
Where is Mitch’s outrage over 10+ million illegals flooding over our border and a President who violates our immigration laws?
Where is Mitch’s outrage over the sexualizing of our children in schools?
Where is Mitch’s outrage over massive inflation that beats down on Americans while he continues to print money by voting for billions more for Ukraine?
Where is Mitch’s outrage over the massive increase in crime across this country?
Where is Mitch’s outrage over the crap election and evidence in just the AZ election?
Where is Mitch’s outrage over the huge increase in excess deaths since the jab was rolled out?
Oh and by the way what was Mitch’s net worth when he started in Congress and what is it today?
Oh and is anyone going to ask Mitch if he received and campaign donations from FTX?
In the end this man cares Jack Sh*t about Americans.
He IS THE PROBLEM not Trump!
Well mich the bitc.. did threaten Trump if Trump pardoned Assange or Snowden! There’s that. I think a funeral should be in order.
The GOPe is the real enemy.
We can win easily without them running interference for the Democrats.
The RINOS in places like Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia are what’s really in our way.
Approximately half of the 51 Intelligence officials who signed the letter stating Hunter’s laptop was Russian Propaganda were Republicans. The GOPe joined forces with the New World Order and their corporations to defeat economic nationalism. They accomplished this by releasing a virus, and cheating in the election. The problem is that their cheat was so obvious that millions saw it for what it was. They won. We lost.
Can they be defeated – YES! Figure it out.
they were nominal Republicans…..just like the Turtle claims the same title he is not REALLY one in action
China White Mitch loves Americans doesn’t he?
This is why we need a second party — as Sundance says (a second, not a third, since right now we really just have one party — the Uniparty). Trump was a fool for not breaking away from the GOP on Jan. 7, 2021 and forming the MAGA Party. Had he done so, he could easily have picked off 90 percent of the Republican Party in one fell swoop. He has terrible people advising him.
Agreed! Trump had an opportunity to seize the momentum and start a movement and make history.
WAiting for the republicans to get religion, reverse a stolen election and a coup, is now clearly futile. Doing the same thing and expecting different results.
The past 2 years could have been spent organizing and energizing a new party.
Instead, we have watched the gop for 2 years drag their feet and do not damned one thing of magnitude or political significance.
Sad
The corruption in the republican leadership was even beyond President Trumps belief. In actuality he ended up exposing them. That’s why they did the investigation and impeachment inquiries.
If Trump was Impeached as an MAGA Party President there’s a very good chance Republicans in the Senate would have voted to Convict you realize right?
Time to put aside the catastrophic ‘but’ and ‘what if’ thinking.
Keep voting Republican keep getting the same (lack of) results
You realize that we had a stolen election and coup and the republicans did not contest it right?
Even though a near-majority of those who elected them into office had deserted the R party and signed onto the MAGA party? Republicans in the Senate are just as dependent on their voting supporters as the Dems and DJT are.
Most of those Senate Rs would change affiliations to MAGA, too. Those who did not would lose to the MAGAs next time around.
A true MAGA party would change everything.
For the better.
Buck was responding to Clara. Clara was saying after 1/7/21.
We were talked out of another party by the Pubbies! You can’t win they said……Psy-ops everywhere all the time. If only PDJT had listened to some of you who felt the momentum. The Pubbies are working it again so we will abandon him now. Ugh.
What would be Mitch’s preferred qualifications? Someone like him and his Rino buddies?
McConnell sounds like a high school faculty lounge conversation.
Why won’t he just drop dead?
Only the good die young.
That would solve a multitude of problems.
Correct, unfortunately his replacement will be well picked to to carry on the agenda.
Can someone, anyone, put this guy out to pasture please, or at least to work in a Kentucky tobacco field. I am sick and tired of Royalty.
“…for the people, of the people and by the people…”
“…That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
His arteries definitely need to harden quickly.
I’d vote for stopping at “. . . to abolish it.”
NO NEED for yet again another stupid rulership over us.
Do we always have to act stupid, like we don’t have any recollection of what “our” government became and did TO us, or knowledge of history?!
Somebody needs to look in the mirror. Mitch supports corruption. And these days voters don’t matter Mitch. It’s ballots.
The primary was not the problem turtle boy it was voter thieves including your communist family members and their operatives in our government.
Love the shifty-eyed R creeps standing behind the old liar.
Those old dirtbag traitors are all in line w McConnell.
Like it or not that is what the republican party has become.
The biggest dirtbag among them will take over from Mitch to ensure continuity. That system has hardened and become more difficult to change via votes. They have made it bulletproof
The one standing directly behind Addison (McConnell’s first name, Mitchell is his middle name) is John Thune, groomed by the Turtle to be his heir to lead the Senate Republicans.
All I’ve got is this…
Mitch McConnell is an odious carbuncle way past his term of usefulness, if ever he had any.
Borrowing from Oliver Cromwell…
“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”
Excellent, Betsy; EXCELLENT! 😉
Mitch McConnell is an odious carbuncle way past his term of usefulness, if ever he had any.
Take out his name and replace it with “The United States Senate” and you’ve hit the bullseye.
I’m with you, TL . In fact, it applies equally to so many others.
This turtle needs to become soup.
In America, the PEOPLE must control the elections…NOT traitorous party hacks like McConnell.
We absolutely don’t need or want to have politicians controlling elections. That is what dictatorships do.
Loudoun county GOPe took care of that in the 2022 primaries. They used rank voting to control it. The GOP needed a good woman candidate to beat Wexton(D) and there was one. But they did not want that. With an open primary and rigged rank voting they chose Hung Cao who had no name recognition and a low budget. With some help of Youngkin towards the end Hung Cao made a better run at it, but was too far behind.
That is the next step in the plan to eliminate elections altogether. The accelerating push to implement ranked – choice voting is the way that the Uniparty will eliminate primary elections.
It is so disappointing to realize our God given way of life has been actually stolen because of the lack of accountability we have failed to deliver as was Benjamin Franklin’s famous saying. We all must pray and pray deeply and incessantly for our nation to return to a God fearing nation and follow the scriptures. Gods Law is perfect. There is no compromise with the Devil.
Quality candidates? You wouldn’t know one if they slapped you in the face, Mitch. Dear God, please shut this man down!🤯
How dare us deplorable! The audacity of us thinking for ourselves instead of being the sheeples they wish we were. Shame on us! More shame on them for not listening to us and forgetting they work for us, not the other way around.
“The ability of the American people to vote is THE major hurdle for the Republican Senate leadership to overcome.” And conversely, the ability of the American voter to have a fair and honest election is the biggest hurdle they will have to overcome. And unfortunately, a tie goes to the scumbags
“And I would have gotten my way too if it weren’t for you meddling kids” (ScoobyDooooooooo)
Whining in public is never a good look. McTurdle should know that as long as he been a politician.
Thanks for posting this SD! I missed this news with all the “DeSantis Calls for Grand Jury To Investigate COVID” headlines.
Interesting timing – while one RINO courts the Dems/Never Trumpers the other is sent out to court MAGA.
“DeSantis Calls for Grand Jury To
Investigate COVIDprovide sound bites for campaign ads” headlines.Fixed it for you…
Thanks Resolute! That’s much better👍
How the heck does a turkey like this stay in power? He should be sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch, gumming goober peas.
He stays in power since we have no group analogous to Antifa on our side.
Seriously.
That $on of a… !!!!
Voters ARE the “democratic”
part of The Republic, 🐷💩.
-Remember
WE THE PEOPLE, 🐷💩???
Couldn’t understand Turtle’s comment regards AL and MO new Senators, but, if he praised them, don’t expect anything good from them.
Yeah we don’t expect any good out of Katie. She’s Shelby in a dress, and younger, no real change.
Quality candidates are all RINO’s and support the globalist agenda.
There seems to be a vacant space behind McConnell that John Barrasso usually occupies. Maybe standing behind McConnell badmouthing Trump is not a good place to be if you are up for reelection in Wyoming in 2024.
Wyoming got rid of Cheney. Maybe they can get rid of Barrasso.
Kind of like corporations…they intensely dislike and resent having to pay their employees….
I thought that delegates can select anybody as the candidate, regardless if he won (or even ran in) the primaries.
The real problem is that China Mitch and the people he backs are not quality candidates.
Obviously he doesn’t understand how our Constitutional Republic works.
He needs a course on the Constitution and The Bill of Rights for Dummies.
it doesn’t make one bit of difference who the candidates are if fake voting is not reeled in
I absolutely despise Mitch McConnell.
I’ve also begun to despise DeSantis because he’s a “stealer.”
I get the feeling he is no more passionate about the MAGA domestic policies he’s adopted than the man in the moon.
He simply asks himself, “What would Trump do”? but we know he’s not asking himself those questions about foreign policy…..
I’m not ready to give up on DeSantis yet. Maybe he’s smart enough to not challenge Trump but, if he does, he’s dead to me.
I posted this is one of the last threads and I’m going to post it here as it even more important to point out the obvious….
Mitch McConnell is a Lawyer….Chuck Schumer is a Lawyer as is Lindsey Graham, Liz Cheney, Liz Warren, Adam Schiff etc, etc, etc…Oh, so is Ron DeSantis…anyway…Here’s my possible solution to our problem….
So, I have a possible solution…..and I’ve been saying this for years….and yet, the possible solution is brushed off without even consideration….
I’ve told you guys for years the overwhelming problem is corrupt Lawyers….Almost 50% of Congress are Lawyers…
There’s no need to protest at the Capitol(waste of time)…..We need to protest at their Law Offices and their homes…(The heart of the problem)…..They would never expect that…..Think about it….
How many protest were at Weissman’s home??? Zero….how about Marc Elias??? Zero….and Mueller??? Yep, Zero….and Perkins Coie??? Ah yes, Zero…..and list goes on…..
You must let the Lawyers and their Law Office’s we are on to them…and remember, a lot of Congress Lawyers have/had or will work for these corrupt Law firms….and I’m not talking 100’s of people showing up, I’m talking 1000’s…..That’s what will work and get attention….Stop focusing on the Politician it’s a waste of time……Focus on the Law Office and those Lawyers….
I’ve considered your idea and as I see it is a waste of time. It will get no Media coverage. It will have no effect on Wall Street, Global Agriculture, Global corporations or even local citizens. Someone in the protest group will yell out some nonsense and the law firm will sue them for libel. The solution is continued exposure and as Sundance says take control at the local then up to the state level. The States have the constitutional power to tell the Feds to NO! Remove the RINOs from your state power structure. Demand voter Id, same day voting, and non machine tabulation for Federal and State government officials.
You think it’s bad now, wait until they get rid of LSAT’s to get a law degree.
Yup, all those pesky little voters who want policies that help them and give them freedom and jobs and economic stability! How dare they!
every terd on the bird got the green light to crap on PDJT now – like its go time to run with the DeSantis Florida good. PDJT bad bullshit.
War.
Ernst and Thune. Two snakes.
Do the best you can? Is that right lying Mitch?
Deciding not to send money to Arizona and Pennsylvania, and sending it to the RINO in Alaska instead.
This is hoping for the best? Yea, if your motivation is to destroy MAGA.
Someone do us a favor and send this guy to the retirement home for good. How does Kentucky keep electing this clown?
They almost didn’t. Trump campaigned for him and pushed him over the top. Every good deed deserves Mitch’s distain.
We’ve got the GOPe out in the open field and on the run…….. they are disorganized and flailing about (witness the failed introduction of the turncoat DeXX).
Time to unleash the MAGA primary hounds on them and drive that turtle up onto the top of the fence post.
If you have a RINO in your district, start looking for a MAGA candidate to replace him……. post-haste…….
It is in your local hands, don’t expect anything but trouble from the RNC.
Good MAGA primary candidates, some MAGA fund raising and hard work and President Trump’s endorsement was the successful formula for 2020….. time to repeat it starting in 2023.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
This man is so disgusting, what a pig.
Why are we playing along with this?
It’s time to move on from the GOP.
They don’t want us. We don’t want them.
Why prolong the inevitable? We’re wasting time.
What’s sad is the person with a 10 or 15% approval rating rants about how DJT hurts the party. He only cares of himself and his power, certainly not the people he supposedly represents. Pray and help others.
I agree, and I think Trump could pull it off.
Even Mitch stated how popular and powerful Trump actually is today. So much so that Mitch was crying about it.
Lets do this now. The Pro-American Party, no globalists allowed.
MCConnell and his fellow travelers think they have won the battle against America First. Pride before the fall. Time will tell.
