Mitch McConnell's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

Just to give an expert run-down on what's happening in Washington DC, and what all of us can do to make sure that "Ditch" Mitch McConnell is shown the door.

He had a really bad week!

Very bad!

He is facing increased pressure from all sides within the United State Senate and around the country.

He is struggling to hold onto power.

Men and women around the country are livid that the Republican Congress has gotten nothing done for the President.

They refused to introduce the simple repeal legislation which would get rid of Obamacare.

They have stonewalled on funding the border wall.

The United States Senate has not moved on any of the legislation coming out of the House of Representatives, including "No Sanctuary for Criminals" Act as well as Kate's Law.

Even Democrats in the Bay Area voted for legislation to clamp down on illegal aliens and punish them for breaking ino the United States.

We cannot allow McConnell to stay in as Majority Leader for one more day!

So, here are some highlights to McConnell's very bad week:

1. Roy Moore defeats Luther Strange

The Swamp dumped millions into this pivotal run-off.

Instead of running away with a victory, McConnell faced certain defeat.

The voters of Alabama want a populist, a conservative nationalist who puts the needs of Americans, specifically Alabamians ahead of the world at large.

Strange had a strange record on immigration, and he refused to take any firm stances on deporting illegals and ending the perverse DACA program, which should have never been initiated in the first place.

The Big Business, Big Amnesty lobby through big money behind their corrupted Strange contender, and he lost Bigly.

2. Latest Health Care Bill Gets Pulled

McConnell started the fight losing at the outset.

What a shameful display of bad leadership. They needed to repeal Obamacare, root and branch repeal. The US Senate had passed repeal after repeal during the last Congressional session. Now they can't get anything done? The Republicans in the US Senate do not deserve their jobs if they refuse to follow through on their promises.

McConnell was not interested in putting up any kind of fight, however. He has no problem with continuing to fund the government. He has no qualms about going over to the dark side again and again giving the Democrats what they want. There is no interest in winning.

He just wants to make the Big Business donors happy--but he has enraged the voters repeatedly. Mitch the Ditch Swamp Thing must go!

3. Bob Corker announces his resignation

Corker has been anti-Trump for too long.

He helped negotiate a terrible Iran deal! What was he thinking?

Then he declares that President Trump is unfit for office. What about Corker? Maybe he needs to take off and never look back. Just after Breitbart released the story about him getting major money from Strange and his dealings in Alabama, Corker uncorkered his plans and declared his intention to resign.

McConnell loses another vote as Majority Leader.

Can we please just get rid of this guy?

McConnell, you are going down, and going down fast!

Drain the Swamp: Repeal McConnell, then Repeal Obamacare

On November 8th, the American people sent a clear message to Washington DC. We wanted to:

1. Make America Great Again—bring back jobs; reduce taxes; get rid of the IRS.

2. Secure our Borders—build the wall, beef up funding and hiring for border security; mandate E-verify.

3. Repeal Obamacare—and repeal all the other anti-free market, government interventionist programs disrupting our health care systems.

Most of the headlines I have read about Trump are welcome news, like the marked decrease in illegal alien crossings along our border, plus the rising number of arrests and deportations. Jobs are up, unemployment is down, and more states are prospering like never before.

Then I came across this article, a headline which I never want to see in the news:

McConnell Admits GOP May Not Repeal Obamacare

This is beyond outrageous. With strong majorities in both houses, plus an epic victory placing Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court after McConnell successful stalled Obama’s last nominee, one would think that advancing Trump’s agenda would not meet so many roadblocks. But US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is not leading. In fact, he’s the Bluegrass roadblock! He still hasn’t gotten the memo that his kind of backroom, back-slapping, horse-trading Republicanism is just as dead as the Democratic Party.

I don’t want the “adults in the room” pretending to govern. We need an active agenda of reform, streamlining, and outright removal of Washington DC from interference with the rights of the states and the people. Where’s the border wall? Where’s the repeal for Obamacare? How about tax reform, welfare reform, and the National Right to Work bill? Swamp thing, thy name is Mitch.

The tax-paying, voting public is getting restless, and we don’t have a real penchant for mincing words, either. We the People spoke loudly and clearly on Election Day. Republicans swept state legislatures in normally blue states as well as retaining power in the House and the United States Senate. Governors’ seats fell into Republicans hands, too. The Democratic Party is losing big, and they can cry if they want to, not that anyone really cares. Trump supporters are destroying the once-preeminent establishment of Big Media as well as Big Business and Big Labor, all the corrupt special interests which had been getting rich while Americans were growing poor.

Sadly, the Establishment GOP, Washington “progressive” Republicans like Mitch are still holding onto the reins of power. McConnell’s meandering capitulation on Obamacare is the last straw. Besides, the US Senate’s latest iteration of repeal met a brick wall of its own. For Cruz, Lee, Johnson, and Paul, It didn’t do enough to repeal. As for the pro-choice Republicans, they don’t want to defund Planned Murderhood, and Dean Heller of Nevada fears the bluish contour of his electorate. Does McConnell want to repeal Obamacare? Senate Leader Mitch refuses to lead.

My answer: step up, put up or shut up. True leadership depends on having a plan of action, fulfilling the promises that you ran on to win, and that got you elected to higher office. This round of failures, this foppish unwillingness to fight for anything but one’s cushy retirement and an elected sinecure in one’s home state is too much to tolerate.

This country needs a majority leader in the United States Senate who will step up to the challenges of unifying an otherwise unwieldy caucus of moderate to conservative members. Jeff Flake is facing primary challenge, so he should get along with the will of the conservative grassroots, or get lost. If US Senator Heller doesn’t want to follow through on a nation-wide promise to repeal Obamacare, then McConnell should confront Heller with US Senator Cory Gardner, the current chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee: “Repeal Obamacare with us, or forget the funding for your re-election bid.”

This country needs a majority leader who will put up a real fight with the Democrats. Does McConnell even know how to count? There are 52 Republicans, and they can count on Vice President Pence to break a tie if needed. Cryin’ Chuck Schumer is as toxic to his endangered peers for Election 2018 as is Nancy Pelosi for her dwindling Democratic caucus.

I say McConnell needs to shut up, pack up, and take off. This man is the lingering vestiges of nice-nice, bi-partisan cronyism. Log-rolling is not going to save our country, especially when the Democratic Party has embraced political views so anti-constitutional and un-American.

Future Republican leaders need to take another look at the battleground map going into 2018. They have a solid chance at 5 easy wins, with possibly three more pickups. The caucus has the upper hand. We don’t need squishy compromisers more interested in keeping the peace, while the rest of us pay dearly for their comity. It’s time to bring down this reign of error in Washington. The grassroots with the House’s conservative leadership lead the charge to bounce John Boehner from the Speakership two years ago. What would it take to repeal McConnell? Surely getting rid of McConnell could not be that difficult—and Obamacare repeal would follow.

McConnell Wants to Bail Out Obamacare? Time to Bail on McConnell!

White House surprised by McConnell's reversal. Can't read this? Click here.

Fellow Conservative: Since Senator Mitch McConnell has nowhere near enough votes to pass his health care bill, he is now calling for a deal with the Democrats to bail out Obamacare. This is exactly the opposite of what McConnell promised to do and it shows, once again, that he never opposed Obamacare. McConnell's strategy rejects the common sense consumer choice option proposed by Senator Ted Cruz as well as President Trump's fallback strategy of repeal now, replace later. The president's plan would bring premiums down while Republicans build consensus for additional health care reforms. Senator McConnell hasn't even tried to repeal Obamacare and yet he's already eyeing another liberal deal that rewards his cronies while hurting American taxpayers. This is why we supported Matt Bevin in the 2014 primary election against Mitch McConnell and it's why we believe his time as the Republican leader needs to end. Help us fight back. We aren't afraid to speak out about his failed leadership and fight for effective leadership in the Senate. Americans elected an anti-establishment outsider like President Trump because they are disgusted with politicians who break their promises and put special interests ahead of hardworking Americans. We will continue to fight to promote conservative policies and to elect courageous conservatives who will stand up to liberal career politicians like Mitch McConnell. If you want to help bring about real change in Washington, please make a contribution to SCF today. With your support, we will help stop Mitch McConnell's liberal deals and then replace him as the Republican leader so Republicans can start to fulfill their campaign promises.

Repeal McConnell: Readers Write In Support

My latest Townhall.com article "Drain the Swamp: Repeal McConnell, then Repeal Obamacare", has sparked some great responses from readers across the country.

Check out this message I received after my article went live on Townhall.com.

From Kenny T., who has lived all over the world, and now resides in California:

Great work!

Yes great article about McConnell.

Bill from Ohio writes:

Mr. Schaper:

I live in Ohio.  I would be more than happy to hear ideas about how to do this.  If you can guide me anywhere that you believe will help with this endeavor, I will donate both time and money to have Senator McConnell removed from his current position.  Your assessment of his leadership is exacting and critical to the progress of the nation.

Than you for writing what needs to be said and done.

Regards
