McConnell, asked for his thoughts on House GOP No. 3 Liz Cheney’s likely ouster during an event in Kentucky on Wednesday, replied, “100% of my focus is on stopping this new administration.”
And it's not a new idea. McConnell said the same about Obama back in 2009
You might be able to parse this out but for the fact that McConnell has done this before
McConnell: We need to be honest with the public. This election is about them, not us. And we need to treat this election as the first step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on Election Day, “Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and help us finish the job.”
National Journal: What’s the job?
McConnell: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
