McConnell becomes Trump's first line of defense

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has a new role in Washington: He’s President Trump’s first line of defense against the new House Democratic majority.

McConnell is expected to battle regularly with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), who is poised to become the next Speaker of the House if she can round up enough votes in her caucus.

The longtime GOP leader, who will rule over a bigger GOP majority after a largely successful midterm battle, reached out to Pelosi on Wednesday and signaled a willingness to work with another veteran Washington dealmaker.

McConnell noted that the two once worked together as senior members of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees.

Cocaine Mitch still doesn't know how to pick his battles.

Let Trump turn on the Turtle and see how that goes. They can fight tooth and nail. We'll revel in it.

4. The Hill Sucks

What a ridiculous story. Mitch has no control over the House. Trump has no political agenda, and I see a time when the Dems propose legislation and Trump supports it. This is a typical Inside the Beltway crap trying to keep readers thinking there are two sides but they are the same.

5. He's going down for his crimes

Its coming and he can't stop it. The turtle will end up in prison before this is all over with.
