Mitch McConnell threatens to block everything if Trump loses in 2020 |
|

Posted by https://salaamallah.com/ on Fri May 22 14:33:18 2020 Mitch McConnell threatens to block everything if Trump loses in 2020Mitch 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." McConnell’s rhetoric is a throwback to his obstruction during President Barack Obama’s tenure, when he refused to even hold hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland. Earlier this month, McConnell wrote an op-ed attacking Democrats for "mindless, undiscriminating obstruction for the sake of obstruction" because they have opposed some of Trump's more radical or simply unqualified nominees. McConnell fumed that Democrats were somehow engaging in "historic" and unprecedented behavior. "This new, across-the-board obstruction is unfair to the president and, more importantly, to the American people," McConnell wrote, though he engaged in exactly that sort of obstruction when Obama — who had the mandate of 65.9 million voters behind him after the 2012 election — was president. Now McConnell is openly stating he will resort to the same tactics again. If America elects a Democratic president, McConnell will do everything in his power to stop the will of the voters. Again.

If Biden is elected I expect the Dems to take the Senate as well. If that happens then McConnell won't be able to do much. |

This is exactly why we need a Democratic Senate majority, regardless of who wins the WH.Or at minimum, McConnell loses. Sadly that’s unlikely. |

If Biden is elected, Democrats need net pickup of 3 seats.If Trump is elected, Democrats need net pickup of 4 seats. As of now, Republicans lose ME, CO, AZ, and MT, and not by just a little, and also possibly NC, but Democrats lose AL. Biden's lead has gone up 2 points in the last month. All his stuttering and muffing of his lines are baked in. Tara Reade's lawyer just quit. It does not look all that good for Moscow Mitch. |

LOL, says nothing about Trump, but it's about whether he's still majority leader—and he made promises like that in the past, which he broke, particularly with respect to Obamacare and repealing it. More fake news. |

The "Green New Deal" and "Medicare for All" are extreme proposals that I would expect Republicans to block if they can. It's just the way McConnell says it that sounds petty and childish. Like he would block them, not because he simply thinks they are bad ideas, but simply out of spite. Meaning he might block lesser Democratic proposals that do have merit as well. He is up for reelection, and he should lose his seat as a result of this statement. In fact, he should lose the Republican nomination in the primary. But I don't expect it. |
