Mitch McConnell to GOP donors: No more shutdowns

[DonViejo]

The Senate Minority Leader promises to fight back in the GOP's ongoing civil war

BY ELIAS ISQUITH

According to a report in Politico, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell all but promised a group of high-end GOP donors that the Republican Party would not repeat the brinksmanship that recently caused a government shutdown and threatened a default on the national debt.

Moreover, the report indicates that McConnell is planning to wage a counter-offensive against the grass-roots conservative organizations that spurred on the shutdown and are now targeting McConnell as a RINO (Republican in name only) deserving of replacement.

“He’s in fighting mode,” one attendee told Politico. “He didn’t get into specifics about what they are doing and how they are going to do it, but McConnell and [Texas Senator John] Cornyn were particularly forceful.” The attendee went on to tell Politico that McConnell had “said everything that needed to be said” when it came to assuaging donors’ fears.

1. Yeah. Like he'd have any control over it.

2. I believe McTurtle has it bass-ackwards

Big gooper donors probably told HIM - in no uncertain terms - that there would be no more shutdowns.

4. We'll see if McConnell can survive batcrap crazy Matt Bevin at this point...

McConnell may go the way of Dick Lugar considering the full court Conservative Media Echo Chamber press being placed upon him. Bevin is a batcrap crazy bagger of the first order and should properly seduce the lowest common denominator on that side. Should make life easier for Alison Lundergan Grimes come next November regardless.
