Erick Erickson: 'It's Time for Senate GOP to Ditch Mitch McConnell'

by Jon Levine | 8:16 am, July 19th, 2017




As Obamacare repeal passed from life support to vegetative state to final and complete and painful death, the knives were out almost immediately in what will certainly be an extended blame game.

First among targets as the dust settles was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. An easy and predictable mark you say? Maybe so — but life isn’t fair.

On Tueday, Resurgent founder Erick Erickson published a bruising editorial on FoxNews.com calling for the GOP to “Ditch Mitch McConnell” and seek new Senate leadership.

The entirety of the GOP agenda is stuck in the Senate where Mitch McConnell seems intent to let it all die on the vine while blaming conservatives. It is time for the Senate GOP to replace Mitch McConnell so that President Trump can actually get some of his legislative policies advanced. It is not conservatives who are the obstacle, but the Senate leader himself.


Ouch.

Hate him or despise him, McConnell is damn good at his job. Having him thrown out of leadership would be a tremendous boon for our side.
