Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) predicted Monday that his home state would have a new governor after the recanvass starting this week, signaling to other Republicans to back off the extreme measures being considered to flip the unwelcome election result.
McConnell to BevināI need you to concede gracefully.
Moscow Mitch is venal, unprincipled, and a danger to the Republicābut heās not stupid.
He also wants to be reelected.
The stateās obviously red but not red enough they can outright steal the election and have statewide candidates survive the storm of outrage.
Bummer.
If Bevin werenāt as toxic as he is in Kentucky you can bet that McConnell would be singing a very different tune. Old Moscow Mitch needs some of those Beshear voters to cast their ballots for him next year!
I donāt care what he says heās still an a-hole
Yup. MoscowMitch doesnāt do anything unless itās good for MoscowMitch.
Why is Bevin saluting? Heās not in uniform.
For once, I agree with McConnell on something.
How many generations have passed to finally arrive at such a toxic species of Republican as Bevin?
It may seem as like an eternity since we thought about Speaker Newt Gingrich. Nevertheless, we can trace a lineage of Republican candidates from this man. We are now almost thirty years since Gingrich was elected to Congress.
Those who followed polished their vitriolic bonafides as trolls, later rising to public office through a series of mechanisms: low voter turnout, social media amplification, and political accidents.
McConnell represents, to me, a symbol of the generational arc of Republicanism. He is the old guard, an old-school strategist whose malignancy is coiffed with incumbency and aged gravitas. Bevin, like former representative David Brat, and the current crop of buffoonish trolls like Jim Jordan are the latest evolutionary iteration of Republican politicians. Of which, the self-immolation rate appears to be getting pretty high.
Brilliant mitch bitch
where did you get the idea from?
Maybe the voters.
get ready for your turn to burn. lol
wish I could be right in your face when it happens.
āIām sorry Matt came up short, but he had a good four years . . . "
Irony dies right here.
McConnnell is a piece of shit. He, in his āmalignancyā, has gleefully and with pride damaged and divided our country more than any single person I can think of.
Attributing gravitas or anything other than distain to this piece of shit human is simply lipstick on a pig. A pig made out of shit.
Impossible to argue with that assessment. Also the rest of it.
McConnell doesnāt yell. Heās a slowly-twist-the-knife kind of person. That is his lipstick application to the pig, as you describe.
Aww Mitch. Itās exhausting to keep defending lowlifes. Even if you also happen to be a lowlife.
If the recanvass doesnāt work out will they go for reupholstery?
Turtle wants to keep his Senate seat.
Maybe heās a Boy Scout.
āKeep Calm and Mitch Onā.
Russia needs me.
I wonder if MoscowMitch will concede gracefully when he is voted out.
The āfixā must be in!
