    No one could possibly be as bad a McConnell has been. Scott would be a welcomed upgrade.

    I am constantly amazed, and this website helps, how vastly different two people can see the world.

    Do you like Mitch McConnell? The only ones that like him are the Democrats, and RINOs

    Mitch McConnell has been the most effective and consequential Senate leader the regressives have ever had it’s not even close. This is an example of when you let someone who has no idea what they’re talking about speak freely. Nonsense.

    Also as a lefty I hate him with a passion.

    Who is responsible for Rick Scott being in the Senate to start with? Guess which state.

    McConnell didn't steal hundreds of millions from us

    No, I rather detest him but there are degrees of detestation. Rick Scott is not an upgrade for much of anything save Medicare fraud - there is none better at that.

    What exactly is the problem with McConnell? He’s almost single handedly responsible for the only actual wins (see judicial nominations) to come from Trump’s presidency.

    On that he has been okay, but name something about his policies that you like... as a Republican.

    He’s a mainline Republican, so most of them. That’s why I asked what you think the problem with him is - he’s been in the US Senate since 1985 and for essentially the entire time his actual policy views are in near lockstep with the GOP platform.

    I’d be interested whether there is any actual policy problem (as opposed to just Donald Trump doesn’t like him) that you have with McConnell other than perhaps Ukraine aid.

    Trumpist populist conspiracy freaks don't align with the traditional GOP agenda.

    Republicans like that about him I’m sure, though. I mean they have a cult surrounding a guy who literally grifts money from them on a regular basis, so they enjoy being stolen from. Florida sure knows how to pick its senators and governors, not surprisingly all Republicans, lol. You think we’d learn by now.

    Trumpeteers when they realize Trump has grifted and defrauded: “He’s smart.”

    RINO’s are the only true Republicans. The MAGA types are just short of traitors to the historic American way of life, mostly because they are simply incapable of accepting diversity.

    He did his freaking job when he was supposed to do his job... That's hardly reason to praise him.

    The melt in this thread is lovely... It got better when the RINO queen dropped out.
