'We're on defense': Mitch McConnell says
GOP senators 'understand' chance of losing
majority in November

Original Article

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell knows Republicans in his chamber are going to face tough campaigns this year to hold on to their majority in November. "We've got a lot of seats to defend all over the country, and in about seven or eight places, it’s like a knife fight in an alley already, and we very much understand the Senate could go either way," McConnell said Wednesday on Fox News's The Story with Martha MacCallum. McConnell's comments come as a new analysis by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report shows a bleak outlook for several GOP senators who are losing ground to their Democratic challengers.

Comments:

And being on defense is the problem here, especially with Turtle Face McMilquetoast in charge!! The GOP should be on OFFENSE, forcing Senate leftists to defend their votes on impeachment, budgets, police reform and anything else their decisions have screwed up in this country!! You don't win by curling up in a ball and whining for Mommy!! Dang shame that Turtle and co don't understand this!!

If the republicans would get out in front of the cameras and keep repeating the differences, the democrats promote and encourage the criminal element, tearing down and destroying and republicans want to protect, revitalize, rebuild and open up the country. The things this president stands for are the things most Americans want and care about. Law and order (support the police and allow them to do their job, safe cities, jobs (getting back to work), unity (democrats want to divide), border control, economics by lower taxes, no sanctuary cities, freedom to worship, equal education (choice of schools). This needs to be driven home and repeated over and over.

Its hard for them to campaign from under their desks. I've not heard one word of support for Trump from my GOP senator. Just mindless platitudes and pictures with the Hooterville Chamber of Commerce and the sewage workers union.

The bigger danger is Biden "winning" a corrupted election and getting the Swamp back into power. It won't matter who has the majority.

That's McConnell's biggest problem...being on defense...try being on the offense..state the many positives Trump has accomplished, do ads on the millions of $$ & hours the dems have spent trying to get rid of Trump, the fake impeachment, the corruption at the JD & other agencies during the Obama years. Grow up Mitch & learn to fight like you did during the Kavanaugh hearings.

It’s up to the voters to be smarter than their representatives and keep the Senate in Republican control, regardless of the quivering types like McConnell. It’s far more preferable than to have Schumer at the helm!

When Donald Trump took office, the bases were loaded with a republican president, republican majority in the senate, and republican majority in the house of representatives. But, Paul Ryan, speaker of the house was at the plate and chose to be called out on strikes without swinging. The time was perfect to pass legislation that would require photo ID to vote in a federal election, limit voting only to US citizens, and address other voting laws to make that process less subject to manipulation. But, Paul Ryan did nothing, and two years later, the democrats took control of the house and spent all of their efforts attacking Donald Trump 24/7. The democrats could not have hoped for a bunch of republicans in power such as Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and Jeff Sessions. These three proved to be top-level republican swamp creatures, and felt threatened by Donald Trump.

One of the reasons so many of them face losing their elections is because they sold out OUR President. The Americans who vote for Trump expected republicans to stand behind the President we elected. Those who did not SHOULD be gone. If we lose the Senate it will, be their own fault.

McConnell like the rest of numb nuts in Washington live and die by the poll. Never mind the polls are rarely correct, and especially after 2016. Instead of worrying about losing, McConnell should be thinking about how he can use the increased majority he's going to have after November.

Trump gave the Republicans the majority, and will have to campaign around the country again this time. McConnell never leaves his home for anybody. Trump has said he will also campaign for House members. Trump has to do everything. The Republican Party does nothing, and will do nothing, and never has done anything. Trump is the only initiative, only energy, in the Republican Party. It is Trump vs. the Democrats, one person against the whole criminal gang.

Yes, by hiding out, pushing RINO candidates, and fighting hard against good conservative candidates the worthless cowardly RINOs in charge are risking the Senate. But understand - McConnell would MUCH rather LOSE the Senate than have a bunch of Trump supporting conservative Senators elected. And he is happy to make that bargain.

One of the most despicable things about the Biden administration is that, even as it doubles and triples down on the COVID restrictions it wants for Americans, it’s utterly unconcerned about the diseases flooding across the border along with the illegal aliens Biden is unconstitutionally welcoming in. The president and CEO of Greyhound Lines, though, is demanding that, at the very least, its workers and other passengers get protected from the COVID so many illegal aliens bring with them. From the start of his campaign, Biden weaponized the Wuhan virus against Trump. Informed and intelligent people realized very quickly that Trump was moving with extraordinary rapidity

Biden has issued Executive Orders that ban enforcing immigration law while simultaneously inviting in a new wave of illegal immigrants. These EOs also suspend deporting illegal immigrants, even those awaiting trial for felonies and other serious crimes, and signal that all new arrivals will be eligible for social benefits such as healthcare. Cesar Chavez’s struggle in the 1970s and ‘80s can help explain the impact this will have on labor markets in general and working-class Americans in particular. Chavez understood that illegal immigration diminishes workers’ earning power.

It began with throw pillows. Pillows shouldn't matter much, but like every decision we make now, they matter more than you think. The old sofa had to go. It had lasted 25 years, by some miracle. The old sofa was U.S.-made. Only 20% of today's furniture is. It was expensive; the store owner told us we'd be able re-upholster it down the road, though that would be expensive, too. He was right on both counts. He retired. His kids run the store now. We managed to find a new sofa, also made here. A different color. So we needed throw pillows.

While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cited precedent and prerogatives of current presidents to justify putting a majority of Democrats on a so-called “1/6” panel to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, others in her party have another reason why they don’t want to seat many Republicans. Quite simply, some Democrats say, they don’t trust the post-Trump GOP to seriously probe the incident because they believe, without evidence thus far, that some Republican members were either in on it or responsible for it. “We do not owe delusional deniers a role or a platform in a commission designed to try to ferret out extremism and violence

This fortune cookie lived up to its name. Ernesto Sorzano’s Chinese-takeout dinner paid off big-time when he played the set of lucky numbers in his fortune cookie on a North Carolina Powerball ticket, according to UPI. Sorzano said he used the numbers when buying a $3 power-play ticket — and they ended up matching four of the winning ones, landing him $500,000. The Florida resident — who is in the process of moving to Huntersville, NC — told the news agency he’ll use his winnings to buy a new house there. “This was a good investment,” Sorzano said of his rice and shrimp dinner, plus dessert cookie.

Activist judges pushing a far-left agenda have been legislating from the bench, and a handful of Supreme Court Justices committed to upholding the Constitution is the only thing stopping the left's total transformation of the country. For that reason, Democrats have been lying in wait for the opportunity to take out the Supreme Court. Democrats are no longer hiding their disdain for the high court. Democrats openly admit to hostile court-packing plans that would stuff the Supreme Court full of activist judges who would then sign off on everything Democrats couldn't sneak past the voters.

“He who pays the piper calls the tune.” It’s a hard, fast rule in the world of politics, which is precisely why we must always be vigilant against the corrupting influence of private money in our public electoral process.

Unfortunately, we also experienced the reality of large-scale private election funding for the first time — and in the process discovered the reason we had never allowed it before.

The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
