Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread
This was not a speech by McConnell--it was a wide-ranging press conference where he showed a superior grasp of the issues.
Linc has a gut-feeling that McConnell, who has a history of working with VP Biden, wants to go down in history as a great Majority Leader.
It would appear that immigration could derail all this positive feeling in my mind.
Dems are correct to call for a vote in the House.
Is Obama correct to threaten executive action if the House doesn't act?
Again, I believe McConnell will squash Rubio, Cruz, Paul and Lee as the four little bugs they are.
For me, I'm still too pissed-off at Blacks and Browns for not voting in Presidential year election numbers--again--just as in 2010 and 1994.
Obama was damned if he did and damned if he didn't on immigration and many other issues--not saying he didn't make mistakes.
I wonder how long this GOOD mod/con Democrat can continue to give so much time/energy to volunteering for people who don't vote.
I hope you know Beaudreax--he's great GOP--of the Goldwater variety.
Linc needs to retool his focus on the people who matter to him--like you.
I was proud to have a few beers last night with some American Legion guys and
my new political friend who was stationed in Germany when JFK was assassinated .
Mindset, maybe. But what I seen so far the two parties haven't work together for the last 6 years. That could change as you say, but I doubt it very much. At this juncture going on past history, experience, I fully expect McConnell to be a Republican version of Harry Reid. Party over country.
But time will tell, I have been wrong before and will be wrong again. Rhetoric is cheap, most politicians always say the right things in a speech. That doesn't count, it is their actions that count. Time will tell.
