The guy has a 7% approval rating (probably dems), and they vote for him anyway. How is that voting in accordance to the wishes of the people you represent?

Even if Republicans did have the majority, how is it “winning” when that many of them clearly don’t give a shite about you or what you think?

Things like this are why they will never allow us to have a senate full of candidates like those 10. Any candidate that won’t toe the line is referred to as “a low quality candidate” and it’s somehow their own fault that the establishment GOP didn’t inject enough money into their campaign.

Combine that with voter fraud being the the new normal, and it’s become almost impossible to get enough America first candidates in congress to make a difference.

But nm, iTs TrUmPs fAuLt!

The Turtle is literally in bed with China.

They’re scared to death of him.

These old fossils have dirt on everyone. Some are allowed to vote against them for optics.

The House should hold hearings on McCuck's ties to China -- as well as Eric Swallwell, Diane Feinstein, and, of course, Hunter and Joe Biden.

Just an overall investigation on China's ties to our politicians.

It is beyond sad for the GOP. I know it makes absolutely no difference, but I called Kennedy's DC office this morning and completely walloped a young staffer to relay my message and lack of support for yesterday's leadership vote and his lack of coming out in opposition to Turtle.

Unfortunately, unless you are a big donor and have a direct line to these sellout politicians, their staff is a firewall between them and their constituency designed to insulate them from the criticism of their home states and districts. These traitors should be tarred and feathered.

I'm sure McCarthy will be right on top of this when Congress convenes.

Hahahhahhahahhahahahahhaaaa! Why would you even ask this?!?? Pretty sure you know the answer.

This is why the Republicans will fail. I bet McConnell pushed Ms Lindsey to run his mouth prior to the election!

Republicans blame Trump yet continue to behave in a manner that produced Trump in the first place.

Trump is not the disease. Washington is the disease.

Trump may go but the disease rages.

This has been my argument all along.

This "leadership" group has been fighting the voting wishes of their constituents to preserve their power and influence.

This is not what is needed and never will be a winner.

Fricking Mitch publicly labels GOP candidates as bad choices before the election, pulls ad money, and didn't hear a peep out of them about why the Democrats are the wrong choice.

Now they are using what they helped orchestrate in losses as their battering ram against Trump to get out of politics. Frcik these guys

I'm guessing they are forgetting all the losses they accumulated before Trump. I mean Paul Ryan was crushed in a debate with Biden and all Biden did was laugh and claim Malarkey over and over.

He has been a great tactician. I support him. Trump could have had a great partnership with him - Trump supplying the strategy and McConnell the tactics - but Trump insists that everyone kiss his ring. And that’s why it fell apart. McConnell has too much self respect for that bullshite.

Per Cruz this is the first time Turtle has had significant pushback since Ted entered the Senate.

Mitch is very smart and he knows how to wield his power. His knowledge of Senate rules is pretty unequalled. Unfortunately he isn't in tune with a lot of the electorate.

Myself, I find his work on the Supreme Court to be quite a contrast to how he leans on Senate votes. The nominees are all good conservatives while he isn't nearly as right when it comes to some of the stuff they work with dems on.

At age 80, he should pass this on to someone who's about 60 or a little younger.

Biden did the same with Trump and walked out a sympathetic figure. Biden I was no pushover.

The GOP cannot be reformed. It has to die.

He is financially connected, and the senators are afraid of that! Let me rephrase that, Turtle is financially compromised!
