I’d like to hear a justification for voting to keep this guy in his lofty, cushy job. He is the embodiment of the establishment Republican. And he has over and over openly spoken of his contempt for popular opinion and the conservative movement.
I’m no longer influenced by the argument, make that ‘threat’, that if I don’t vote for any GOP nominee or office seeker I’ll be handling government over to the Democrats.
After this performance by the GOPe since we gave them an overwhelming mandate in 2014, which they couldn’t wait to repudiate, my question is, “what difference would that make?”
This is why people call for a 3rd party, win or lose. With this outfit, it is always “lose lose”!

McConnell to GOP populist base: let business groups win in 2017
The GOP’s populist base can help win big battles for the party’s business donors in 2017, if it just shuts up for the next few months, GOP leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggested in a low-drama interview with Politico. . . .
But McConnell is following his usual strategy of delaying hard debate until he can fold his cards once President Barack Obama threatens to shutdown the federal agencies, said a Hill staffer. If McConnell wanted to win, he should start a debate early to pressure the Democrats into conceding, the aide said. . . .
McConnell’s attitude, the aide said, is “God forbid we fight on it, let’s just completely capitulate on it from the get-go.”
There’s also no evidence yet that McConnell will fight Obama’s plans to import many more low-wage government-dependent Hispanic and Muslim migrants, despite the nation’s high unemployment and underemployment rate.
In January, McConnell and his team cut deals with Obama that preserved funding for his planned amnesty in exchange for Democrats’ support for a give-away to the GOP’s Wall Street donors.
During that November-to-March fight, McConnell’s team did almost nothing to pressure Democrats into voting against Obama’s amnesty, or to work with the public’s strong opposition to his amnesty, which is supported by the GOP’s donors. . .
