McConnell is by far the most Successful Senate Majority Leader in US History

[Claudette]

McConnell will probably go down as one of the worst Senate leaders in history.

The Senate has functioned for hundreds of years with certain procedures and protocols that got things done

One was the filibuster that forced a 60 percent vote for Senate legislation to proceed. That filibuster was rarely used and only was applied to highly controversial legislation. McConnell applied it to all legislation and court appointments.

As a result of McConnells obstruction, the “nuclear option” was invoked on court appointments and is now the norm.

McConnell may have won his short term victories, but left a disfunctional Senate in his wake.

LMAO Well who instituted the nuclear option??

Oh and the Senate is far from disfunctional. In fact its pretty damned good.

The Dem led House on the other hand is a shit show of epic proportions.

Exactly
Why was a nuclear option even necessary?
Because McConnell invoked a 60 vote filibuster on EVERY Obama appointment. Never done before.

The Senate is now a legislative body in gridlock with a 60 vote majority needed for even the most mundane legislation.

McConnells legacy

Well you Dems enacted it and it has bitten you in the ass ever since.

Gridlock is good. They don't get to pass stupid shit.

McConnells legacy.

Was never necessary before McConnell
The Senate worked, bipartisanship worked, bills got passed


McConnell changed all that.....He poisoned the well

Well if it wasn't necessary then Reid did you Dems a fierce bad turn. LOL

Oh and when Reid used it, it was necessary, when McConnell uses it he poisoned the well.

Man are you an idiot.

Reid reacted to McConnells obstructionism on appointments. McConnell was warned of the consequences and continued his act

Yeah and Reid sure screwed your Dem ass. McConnell merely used what Reid provided.

Sucks to be you Dem idiots. Oh and have no fear. If the Dems take the Senate they will use it as well. Oh and you will love it them. Dumbass.

The Senate has changed. McConnell is responsible

It now takes 60 votes for all legislation. SCOTUS is majority rules. A sitting President cannot make appointments if the Senate is an opposition party. Bipartisanship is officially dead

Senate no longer functions

No. The Senate did its job. If the pork had been removed they would have passed it and sent it to Trump for his signature.

Bipartisanship was dead when Barry was POTUS. I'm sure you remember his statement that elections have consequences and how he told the Reps they would have a seat at the back of the bus. I sure remember.

Senate functions just fine. The House however is run by bat shit crazy Dems who spent four years trying to hang Trump. They wasted millions tax dollars doing it.

Mitch has moved the Senate in a direction that may be irreversible.
He has created a non-functioning legislative body.

Not what our founders envisioned

The only thing McConnell can do is what he is doing now. Put up a firewall to progressive Socialist insanity and get judges passed. His politics is not corrosive. It is just reported that way.

McConnell has poisoned the well

In denying Merrick Garland a hearing and fast tracking Amy Barrett’s confirmation he has destroyed any chance of working with Democrats

Rightwinger, the courts are full of Progressive Socialist Propagandist adherents who make laws and deny the voters on issues on election day they do not like. We know what a Prog judge is going to do. Rarely not going against the grain. A Non Prog judge will go in all directions. A true conservative judge will be constant. By that reckoning the Supreme Court should have at least true conservative judges easily. It is not. We are fooled by the elites.

McConnells legacy

McConnell's legacy will last generations and generations will be grateful for his contributions in delaying the US turning into a third-world shithole. Shirt-term victories? It's like saying Michelle's ass is small.

Not what our founders envisioned

but our founders envisioned everything else those smucks do?
They way they abuse the constitution, they(founders) would probably appreciate not passing laws.

A Government of the People, by the People and FOR the people

A concept destroyed by Mitch McConnell
