Mitch McConnell a "weak, spineless leader"?
“Senator Mitch McConnell said I had ‘excessive expectations,’ but I don’t think so,” Trump tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “After 7 years of hearing Repeal & Replace, why not done?”
McConnell said Monday Trump was creating a false impression that Senate Republicans are not effective because he’s a political novice. “Our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before,” McConnell told a small group in Florence, Ky., this week. “And I think he had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process.”
“More excuses,” tweeted White House social media director Dan Scavino on Wednesday morning. Scavino said McConnell “must have needed another 4 years” to repeal Obamacare.
Trump’s tweet about McConnell was tame compared to his frequent caustic barbs against his declared foes. During the campaign, for example, Trump frequently ripped into House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., whom he referred to as a “very weak and ineffective leader.”
Conservative commentators took a far sharper tone on McConnell than the president.
Sean Hannity, a Fox News host who is friends with the president, tweeted Tuesday night that McConnell was a “WEAK, SPINELESS leader” who should retire.
Lou Dobbs, a Fox Business host, dedicated a whole segment Wednesday to McConnell’s comments, blasting a graphic on the screen that read “Ditch Mitch” in giant letters. “He isn’t worth a doggone as I can see,” Dobbs said. “That’s what we got in the swamp, folks.”
So Lou Dobbs thinks that McConnell is "what we've now got in the swamp"? Well, perhaps that should come as no surprise-- after all McConnell himself actually does look a lot like a Turtle from a Pogo comic strip!

Yes-- The Senate is totally ineffective!
And given their political agenda-- that's something we should all be extremely grateful for.

C'MON REPUBLICANS-- DRAIN THE SWAMP ALREADY!
McConnell will put his finger in the wind when they come back from recess. I don't think we can rule out him being a Trump man just yet.
He already is a "Trump man". All gop who look the other way, which is almost all gop, are in effect "Trump men".

Good point.
McConnell is a survivor.
And let's not forget the horrible bashing Trump gave to Sessions...who's now very much back in favour!
He's no Rand Paul that's for sure.
