The blunt question I wish someone had the guts to ask Mitch McConnell:

"How can anyone take you for anything other than a partisan, power hungry, hack when you literally tried to obstruct anything President Obama tried to do, yet you go along with everything Trump does or say without objection?"

And now many many dems openly admit that if trump does something that helps Americans, they will sign on.

You see this is definitive proof GOP are not patriots, never have been, not in the past 50 years anyway.

He's a seasoned, stone-faced liar. Nearly every long-time Senator is.

He will NEVER answer a question he doesn't want to. He'll answer a different question, attack the premise, attack the questioner. Only his death will end his lies.

It's paid him dividends he never could have imagined when he was just a young turtle at the salt licks of Kentucky.

6. McConnell is a pro talker-arounder. He wouldn't even bother to address the question.

He'd just launch into a blizzard of bullshit the questioner would not be able to penetrate.

Just imagine him staring blankly at you with those dead eyes for 6 minutes, then getting up and walking out the door.

Trump is supporting the GOP decades long goal of destroying the Government. Goes back to King Ronnie.

Aren't all these "servants" serving under the same roof? So HOW HARD can it be for a Dem to intercept McTurdle and ask exactly those questions and report back with the answer they get??? Are they afraid McTurdle would put the squeeze on some corporate teat and prevent them getting their dole?
