As you know, I have often said that not all Republicans are beyond redemption. Most just act that way. I have said that there is a remedy for the vile infestation of greed, hate, and violence that identifies the Republican Reich. That is to come out from among them and renounce their crimes. One month and one day ago, long term political strategist, Steve Schmidt, did exactly that, making him welcome among decent humans. He has a suggestion about Senate Majority Leader, Bought Bitch Mitch [R-KY].
Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, who recently renounced his Republican affiliation and left the party, pulled no punches when it comes to Mitch McConnell. Schmidt noted the Senate Majority Leader has been “up to his eyeballs” in this entire Russian affair and makes the case that it is time for Republican senators to remove Mitch McConnell from power and elect a new Senate Majority Leader who will right the ship…
…Even as former Senator Harry Reid and Democrats were trying to sound the alarm about Russia’s cyberattacks and propaganda campaigns in the summer of 2016, Mitch McConnell refused President Obama’s calls for a bipartisan statement alerting the public. From an NBC News interview with President Obama’s former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough:
“The president asked the four leaders in a bipartisan meeting in the Oval Office to join him in asking the states to work with us on this question,” McDonough said. “It took over three weeks to get that statement worked out. It was dramatically watered down."
Asked if it was watered down at the insistence of McConnell and only McConnell, McDonough responded, “yes.”
Former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid had Mitch McConnell and Republicans absolutely nailed when he gave this speech on the floor of the United States Senate in June 2016. He implored them to stop enabling Trump’s racism and vile rhetoric. Two years later the problem is worse than we ever could have imagined…. [emphasis added]

I’m sure Schmidt still leans far enough right that I will often disagree with him, but agreeing with me has never been a prerequisite for my respect, which Schmidt now deserves. It’s too bad that the chances Senate Republicans will dump Bought Bitch Mitch are virtually nil.
RESIST!!
VOTE BLUE!!

MM and the republicons have been the worst I’ve seen, since I joined this forum back years ago. I will say it again, none have stepped up to assume their responsibilities, carry it with honor, nor have they upheld their oath to do so. Kudos to Steve Schmidt, for his remarks.
I’ve signed several petitions to outst MMcConnell, hope they work~~
Obama made the mistake in 2016 not to stand up to McConnell, of course not knowing what the consequences would be. Now it is impossible to turn back the clock. The damage those two monsters, Drumpf and McConnel, have caused the US is almost irreparable. Dumping Mitch wont save America, but it will at least stop him from doing further damage. And getting him behind bars will be little more than a tiny cherry on a rather sour cake, but it is some way of retribution. Personally I can hardly wait for it.
Well, I wouldn’t limit blame to just Trump & McConnell in what actually is a Troika of Treason …
LMAO!
MSNBC: “Neutral idiot!” Years ago this would have been called “Communist Dupe!” Well, it’s not communism that Dumpy is abetting, but it is still our biggest enemy, in new clothing! Putin probably winged his way home from the meeting with the biggest grin on his face!!!!!! One huge, massive political coup for him! McConnell unquestionably belongs out of office, and in an orange jump suit!
Congrats Mitch!!
I would just be preaching to the choir. And preaching in four-letter words is not a good idea anyway.
OMG the 3 stooges of Washington DC, HILARIOUS!! ?
i really like Steve Schmidt, BRAVO!!!
Thanks all. Heat wave hugs!
AMEN Steve Schmidt!
It is time Republicans like Sasse, Flake etc put their money where their mouths are and dump Drumpf, McTurtle, Ryan and others who are not upholding their oaths of office to the constitution and We The People!
