        Mitch needs to bring the House bill to a vote. 45 changes his mind with the wind. He can’t sign it if it’s not on his desk. Mitch needs to to his job and put it there no matter what Trump says. Since when does Trump do what he says!? DO YOUR JOB MITCH!!!!

        Mitch and his party seems to be willing to take all the heat coming their way to protect this president at any cost. WHY? WHY? WHY? How about putting the American people and the Nation first? #BlueWave2020

        Mitch’s wife is Trump’s transpo Secretary, if Trump goes down so does half of the McConnell family income. #FollowTheMoney

        @senatemajldr McConnell is depending on the innate empathy of @HouseDemocrats to HELP federal workers. His MOI is to rely on Democrat's human kindness to save his ass because he an the GOP don't care one iota about citizens except to use them to keep themselves in power.

        No. @senatemajldr is a HUGE part of the Ex Br. Speaking of months & years, unless we get a RESIGNATION or an IMPEACHMENT, we R already STUCK with a 'TOTAL & COMPLETE Government Shutdown' in the Executive Branch for the next 747 days. 747 days January 4, 2019 - January 20, 2021

        This one man Mitch McConnell has done more damage to America in the past ten years then any White Nationalist Republican before him. For eight years of Obama McConnell with a Republican majority killed every good bill Obama & Democrats brought forward. Then the 2 years with Trump

        @senatemajldr Mitch “Trump’s Boy Toy” McConnell knows about as much regarding his role in government as @realDonaldTrump knows about being “presidential”.
