Mitch McConnell threatens to block everything if Trump loses in 2020

Mitch McConnell is already threatening to bring the country to a screeching halt if voters get rid of Trump.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is threatening to kill popular legislation and policies if voters elect a Democratic president in the 2020 election.
"If I'm still the majority leader in the Senate [in 2020], think of me as the Grim Reaper," McConnell told voters in Owensboro, Kentucky, on Monday. "None of that stuff is going to pass."
That stuff McConnell is so eager to kill? Popular progressive ideas like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All, which would help to clean up the environment and provide even more access to affordable health care. Even if voters reject Trump and the Republican agenda in 2020, McConnell is determined to do what he wants rather than what the voters want.
"I guarantee you that if I'm the last man standing and I'm still the majority leader, it ain't happening," he said. "I can promise you."
McConnells rhetoric is a throwback to his obstruction during President Barack Obamas tenure, when he refused to even hold hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland................................................

We can help vote him out on 2020 by supporting his opponent.

#DitchMitch McConnell is worse than Trump. We must turn out the vote for a #BlueWave2020, and not fall for divisive propaganda. #DividedWeFall.

(48,955 posts)Because Mitch chooses to ditch representing Kentuckians in the call of extreme repulicanism?
The campaign ads write themselves.
While the state is bright red... I think this could be spun - if matched with Trump legacy items that are harming constituents = no redress (tariffs; spiking obamacare/medicaid; tax cuts that cost more for most voters, etc) that could erase his reelection hopes.

"I guarantee you that if I'm the last man standing and I'm still the majority leader, it ain't happening," he said. "I can promise you."
Rather threatening comment there.
Holding the government hostage Mitch, you POS. Karma will bite you back hard.

(3,622 posts)Then subpoena him, investigate him and incarcerate him...
Then take every penny he got through malfeasance and give it to his states department of education with the proviso that it be spent on civics education in public schools.
Give him a take or a pickaxe...

(35,453 posts)Yet, Mitch is wealthy, and perhaps the most powerful politician in America. More powerful than the president. What does that tell you?
We should run ads in Kentucky and use the Ronald Reagan test. "Kentucky, are you better off today than when Mitch became your senator?"

(22,184 posts)That's who I hope to be working for in 2020. Decorated war veteran/pilot, and mom. Schumer has been talking to her about running, although she lost her bid for Rep in the Lexington area. If Dems throw their support behind her fully this time, she can beat out the old white guy misogynist club.

If that shit stain is drawing a line for Trump, then he is connected to Trump's crimes somewhere.
