while I donāt have much respect for Pinhead Mitch Iād urge the Louisiana GOP to clean up their own mess before trying to dictate to the Senateā¦
why donāt you urge Piyush to resign while he runs for Presidentā¦ altho being out of your state does keep him from inflicting anymore damage than he has already doneā¦

hmmmā¦ and all of those yammering wdc experts said boehnerās leaving would pave the way to get something accomplishedā¦ unsurprisingly, they were wrong. his leaving is going to lead to even more dysfunction and total chaos within the republican establishment.
between trump and the teatards, the wdc-centric pols and magpies just do not know what to doā¦ the genie is out of the bottle and aināt going backā¦
this will be an epic battle to the deathā¦ of either the teatards or the establishment gopā¦ wonder who will win

Whatās damaging the GOP ābrandā is much more than McConnel, itās Jindal, Huckabee, Rush, Palin, Bachman, Trump, Fox News, et al. The fact-free charlatans, nut jobs, and doofuses saying ridiculous things 24/7.

The base is gonna leave the party? Bull-pucky. Just like the Evangelicals have been threatening for the last two decades. The Teebaggers will not go 3rd party because they will lose their leverage bending the GOP to their will.

Exactly right. And McConnell thoroughly trounced the TP challenge in his primary in '14. He isnāt going anywhere for 5 years.
Which is actually an important point to how these guys think. If they canāt achieve it through voting, they demand it be given to them anyway. They really have no use of democracy.

"Honestly, I haven really thought* of a replacement," he said. āWe are being so beat up by the base. I just was frustrated.ā
Sums up the teaPartyā¦
OK. But have any of these wingnuts ever given consideration to whatās going to happen when the Tea Party folks are given the ball and a clear field to run in. Do they think itās going to be good for anyone? America or the GOP? I think Mconnell and Boehner did give that some thought and thatās why they oppose them.
Now thatās a plan. It has always been that the road to success is eased when you limit the appeal of your party to a narrow base at the expense of that broader body politic. Oh ya, that is what the GOP does. Keep narrowing your appeal until you can only appeal to yourself. It is a winning strategy!
These guys are idiots.
Congress gives funds to deport 4 million immigrants.
The Executive Branch is supposed to deport those 4 million immigrants.
So Obama issues an Executive Order saying āOkay, weāre going to deport the one with criminal records first and say the ones with families that donāt break any laws can get an ID can stay and not have to worry, because you know what? We have 11 million illegal immigrants and we have more than enough to deport without having to worry them.ā
Congress then goes āHey, hey hey!!! We make the laws! You donāt! Thatās Unconstitutional, you Bastard!ā Noā¦you moron. Thatās prosecutorial discretion. Learn the law. Idiot.

āHonestly, I haven really thought of a replacement,ā
Iām detecting a pattern hereā¦
Know what you want right this instant? Check!
Willing to lie, demagogue, abuse process, cut your nose off to spite your face and run around pulling your hair out to get it? Check!
Given any thought to the consequences, what comes next or long-term planning? cricketsā¦

Yes, but you must realize that deep downā¦and they wonāt admit itā¦the GOP/Teatrolls would rather watch the normal families get thrown out, because the criminals arenāt terribly interested in voting and in many cases probably canāt. Aaaaah, but a family with 3-5 kidsā¦thatās a voting flower the GOP/Teatrolls want nipped in the bud.

" the chairman of the Louisiana GOP"
Isnāt that also known as the āGrand Dragon of the KKKā?
In Louisiana those two positions are pretty interchangeable.

Our future Guvnah, sadlyā¦
āIf we lose the battle, we will never win the presidency again in my lifetime,ā he said. āIāve worked for 12 years as chairman to build this party, and I just donāt want to see it all go down the drain because they arenāt willing to fight for what we believe in. Our base is demanding we do something or theyāre going to leave us.ā
The Chairman is seeing something that does not exist.
Your base is dwindling and dying of natural causes, not of political ones.
You may never see another (R) POTUS-- but McConnell is a very small factor.
If the poor in Louisiana are awakening to the fact that local politicians have been screwing them for political gain? Then thatās a very good sign-- a wakeup call.
Conservatism is in itsā scorched-earth phase.
The kicking-screaming period before the loss of White privilege becomes irreversible.
It will get much uglier before itās over.
And while it seems like a very difficult time to live in?
Iām thrilled to see it beginning during my lifetime.
