This may be an appropriate time to discuss "bi-partisanship" with Mitch McConnell.

[kentuck]

Last night, Donald Trump declared war on McConnell. He called him a dumb "son of a b*tch".

How much more proof does McConnell need, to know that his days are numbered? Trump's goal is to take over the Republican Party from Mitch McConnell and the establishment Republicans.

If he was a wise man, he would sit down with the Democrats and figure out a way to save our democracy and stop worrying so much about getting back his majority.

How many more times does he need to be kicked by a mule?

1. I have to come to his defense he is not dumb just

an evil asshole son of a bitch. Who would be in line to replace him Lindsey or Cruz? They would be even worse.

[True Dough]

2. I don't see a "dumb son of a bitch"

I see TWO dumb SOBs!

[Ocelot II]

3. McTurtle doesn't care about "saving our democracy," and I doubt he cares

about what The Former Guy thinks of him, either. Mitch is interested only in power. He wants to be Senate Majority Leader again and he doesn't give a damn what he has to do to get that power back and keep it. Trump is fading, for all his bluster, and Mitch will still be in the Senate after the GOP is finally tired of Trump. He's old, but turtles live a very long time.

4. Now that the KY repuke legislative branch picks Mitch's successor

I think he will quit. “New Asshole” for $500 please Alec (RIP).

16. McTurtle just got re-elected for another 6 year. His evil ass in not worried about trump.

[Omnipresent]

5. Mitch really doesn't care if he is insulted by trump.

He probably isn’t running for re-election.
Republicans in general, apparently don’t care if their minority leader is insulted Either.
As for our Democracy, Mitch is more or less indifferent to it.

6. It might be an even better time to discuss it

with Manchin.

Clearly the Republicons have no plans to "reach across the aisle".

[kentuck]

8. You may be right.

Manchin needs to stop playing politics and do the right thing.

[OnDoutside]

13. It may be instructive to find out when Schumer plans to bring S1 to

the floor. It looks like they are pushing the Infrastructure Bill first and even then how long before that comes to the floor ? The point I'm making is that this is hopefully posturing to his WV audience and certainly not to progressives. Effectively he's the Democrats "Susan Collins", and as we know she got there in the end for Republicans, when it matters.

[dlk]

10. Let's put Manchin in charge of reaching across the aisle and see what happens

Since this is important to him, it only seems appropriate.

[Salviati]

14. Maybe it would be fruitful...

... to get some of the clear eyed ex-republicans who have bailed on the party after seeing what it has become to talk to Manchin. The ones that have cone to the conclusion that the fastest way to get back to a more genial style of politics is to burn the zombified shambolic corpse of the republican party to the ground before it can do any more damage.

[Chipper Chat]

7. That could be fRump's signal to the GQP Senate's leadership

To replace McTurtle with Josh Hawley.

[kentuck]

9. That's exactly what it is.

He wants McConnell replaced.

[TheRealNorth]

11. I agree

The Turtle still wants to play within the confines of the Constitution (bending those confines at times). Trump is done with that.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. McConnell probably enjoyed Trump's hatred.

"Good. Good. Let the hate flow through you!"

[brush]

15. We all want McTurtle gone but unfortunately he just got re-elected for another 6 year term.

So all trump can't do much to him except insult him...like McTurtle cares about that. He'll just continue being his conniving, scheming, evil self.
