The political news magazine, "The Hill," recently polled nearly two dozen Republican Senate hopefuls on whether they would be supportive of Mitch McConnell as the Senate's Majority Leader or not - and "not" seemed to carry the day.
McConnell, a Kentucky slug who poses as a turtle, made his political reputation by having a stated agenda of keeping President Obama from passing any legislation, regardless of the impact that this obstinance had on the lives of his fellow Americans. He also speaks with pride about blocking Obama's final appointment to the Supreme Court for nearly a year and then handing that important decision over to a blowhard reality television "star."
Mitch was thought to be moving into his glory days this year with a Republican (of sorts) in the White House, a Republican House, and a Republican Senate - but as the year draws to a close all the current Congress seems to be able to agree on are votes to adjourn. Trump failed to provide any sort of program or master plan to move America forward, and without executive leadership, Congress didn't accomplish anything of note.
Trump's brain dead supporters know, they KNOW, that Trump is not at fault for yet another year of nothing changing in Washington, DC. Trump has brought the polluters back to town, he has appointed white nationalists to his inner-circle and put an old-school segregationist in charge of the Justice Department. He has defended the free speech activities of Nazis and bigots while never missing an opportunity to ridicule outspoken black individuals - and he jokes about people who joke about hanging gays. And if all of that isn't enough to bind his supporters to him forever, Trump desperately wants to build a big, impenetrable wall to keep out those toilet-cleaning, lettuce-picking, motel room-cleaning Mexicans.
Donald Trump is a godsend to America's tattooed, pot-bellied, dentally-challenged master race, and Congress needs to step up and help him spread his glory across the entire nation.
But Congress is failing our Glorious Leader, and Mitch McConnell, in particular, is the goat who is destined to be scaped for the continuous missteps of the Trump administration. Trump's people KNOW it's not Donald's fault, and the Democrats are in the minority in both houses of Congress so it's hard to effectively blame them for the constant string of failures. That leaves McConnell to eat the blame - and hopefully Paul Ryan, too.
So when "The Hill" spoke to more than twenty senate hopefuls, they found none - zero - who would state their support for Mitch McConnell. There are outside forces, people like former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who are openly encouraging and supporting senate candidates who will oppose the continued leadership of McConnell. While most kept quiet on the issue or tried to sidestep it, a few stated their open opposition to McConnell and tried to tie their opponents to him.
For the time being at least, it sucks to be Mitch - and he so deserves what he is getting!
