6 Ways McConnell Betrays the Republican Base

 American Thinker

 But…you knew it was coming…I sure wish we could move on from Mitch McConnell.  Or rather, I wish we could find an effective way to compel Republican senators to move on from McConnell (and his lackeys) as their leader.

I don't like him.  I don't like the way he conducts business in the Senate.  I don't like his imperious nature and his backroom double-dealings.  I don't think he represents the vast majority of Republican voters, and even worse, I don't think he even cares.  I find him off-putting and arrogant and a terrible spokesperson for the Republican Party.  I do not think he has ever convinced a single non-Republican voter to come onboard.  I'm not certain he believes in much aside from the accumulation and maintenance of raw power.  And to the extent he actually does have sincere beliefs, those beliefs seem hopelessly aligned to an outdated Republican Party still grazing in the country-club safe spaces of bourbon-swilling "elites." 

(1) Russia collusion hoaxer:  The Russia collusion hoax was Obama and Hillary's baby (uh, gross), but Mitch gave it legitimacy by pretending that it deserved serious investigation. 

(2) Backstabber extraordinaire:Had polling not ultimately cowed him, he certainly would have joined Mitt Romney in voting for Trump's second farcical impeachment. 

(3) Corporate stooge and anti-labor globalist:  He's what most Republicans have come to despise: a politician who does the bidding of corporate lobbyists, not his constituents.  He's a globalist in an America First party.

(4) War hawk with a China problem:And nobody trusts McConnell's obsession with Russia when he turns a blind eye to China's genocide, market manipulation, and aggression.

(5) Election manipulator:  McConnell has cost Republicans Senate seats time and again.  His my way or the highway approach to Senate elections has given Chuck Schumer a majority. 

(6) Party boss, not a leader:  He lacks gravitas, eloquence, charm, or even the inkling of an inspiring demeanor.  He rules through fear and punishment, and voters do not like or trust him.  "
