TPM:
How Trump Is Breaking McConnell’s Once Congenial Republican Majority
Given the typical level of hate, vitriol, and eliminationist rhetoric I usually associate with the GOP, it’s weird, and seems somehow inappropriate, to see the word Congenial in the same sentence as Republican or McConnell.
TPM:
On Tuesday, lawmakers running for re-election seemed especially reluctant to talk Trump. Some seemed to make an effort not to use his name, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). In his weekly press appearance, McConnell referred to Trump only as “our nominee” while being sure to mention Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama by name.
Can’t even say your Presidential candidate’s name. That’s gonna be a great campaign slogan, Mitch:
Vote Republican Nominee for President! Because Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama Are Worse!
So inspiring.
“…Once Congenial Republican Majority”
Proof, please.
Pinhead Mitch’s slogan will remain the same…
'we’ll do our best to make 'em a one term President ’
No offense, Lauren, but I’m confused by the word “disparate” in your third paragraph. Do six women and one black dude make that otherwise unbroken field of be-penised white disparate? Honestly, I can only tell them apart by the length of their throat waddles.
Once Senator Burr sticks his finger in the wind, he’ll find an answer. He has done nothing for his NC constituency but he does like a good lunch on our account.
Thank god that’s all we’re measuring.
Sorry, it’s just that I panicked when I saw the phrase I can only tell them apart by the length of …. I mean, it’s just such a hassle to find a cheap electron microscope. Plus: eww, icky.
I hadn’t thought about it until now. Who’s going to run with him. Even Sarah says “nope”.
How would Donald vet somebody?
That’s the glory of being the Donald - he doesn’t have to worry about vetting his candidate because anyone he nominates will have fewer skeletons in the closet, less baggage, and will be more qualified for the job than he.
Except Ted Cruz or Louie Gohmert.
Curious?!?! Since the odious, depraved Republican Cult members appear, for all intents and purposes, the same, one finds it hard to fathom their “congeniality” being fractured.

Skeletons or not, anyone Drumpf nominates will likely be a scumbag and/or a psycho. They will already be a caricature of an actual human being, just like him.
These guys enabled the rise of Trump. McConnell’s fingerprints in particular are all over the afterbirth of the hate and bigotry surrounding Trump. They have no reason to bitch. They are getting what they built.
I think its a typo…it certainly makes more sense as “Congential”,anyway.
I can’t wait until someone asks Trump who he is considering for the Supreme Court. I’m sure his answer will turdboggle the mind beyond belief. Judge Judy would be a reasonable choice, coming from Trump.
The word “congenial” was the wrong word to use because it wasn’t an appropriate descriptor for what Ms. Fox was trying to get at.
The word she was looking for was “unified.”
I realize that the “thesaurus” isn’t really used anymore but it should be.
Do you mean “congenital”? I never heard the word “congential”. Typo? Don’t know how to spell the word?
maybe she meant desperate?
Remember how conservatives used to claim that African-Americans were slaves to the Democratic Party, because they kept voting for Democrats even though the Party wasn’t able to effectively pass legislation for them?
What do you call a Republican evangelical who votes Republican, when the conservative movement is now supporting legislation that’s opposed to their interests?
There are some real Profiles in Courage over there on the GOP side of the aisle.
