The Republican Hate Machine and Troll Farm will dig up some relatively insignificant spot on McGrath's military, personal, financial, whatverthefuck record, and drum that into a "Benghazi!"-like frenzy. This will give all the rednecks, racists, misogynists, and other deplorables cover to say "I just don't like her" and vote for Turtle Fuckface.

Edit: and if they can't find something, they will just make some shit up.

They better be really careful dancing around the military stuff - plenty of folks in the military have noticed that older Republican politicians like to avoid military service, along with anyone named "Trump".

Yeah, it's a meme, and it applies to joking around, but it's actually pretty fucking truthful and the GOP better be careful about how they go after her:

I’m so sick of the Dems = identity politics line. Identity politics is the ONLY thing the GOP can run on because they have no actual popular policies. Dems are out there running on health care plans a

McConnell has been keeping a very low profile but he did release this recently:
 

Quote

 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday stressed that President Trump's support is the key to a gun reform bill getting a vote on the Senate floor in the wake of recent mass shootings.

McConnell, during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, said the Trump administration “is in the process of studying what they're prepared to support, if anything.”

“I expect to get an answer to that next week,” McConnell said. “If the president is in favor of a number of things that he has discussed openly and publicly and I know that if we pass it, it will become law, I'll put it on the floor.”

 

It better not having anything unrelated to Gun Reform in it. I hate it when politicians sneak in/add on all sorts of extra concessions, etc

 

Twitterverse has been trending another nickname to go with #MoscowMitch:     #MassacreMitch. He may be a little worried that McGrath is going to better him after all. A little early to tell.

So this chinless and spineless motherfucker won't put anything on the Senate floor unless Trump will sign it. Real leadership there, you turtle-looking fuckface.

 

While it makes sense that Congress and the WH are aligned on bills, there's nothing wrong with the Senate stating what they will agree to as well. Especially when the WH is silent on an issue.

It was Hugh Hewitt that brought up the term, "McCarthyism" in his question, so he lobbed that straight to McConnell who was eager to take a swing. The citizenry were the ones who began using the hashtag unless someone can attribute it to a pol or a bot. So, the hashtag does not have the power of the government that McCarthy had. The power of opinion from the public is their freedom. Mitch better understand that right quick.

And this part (from the transcript) is just rich. Rich I tell you:
 

Quote

 

HH: It is simply an assertion that you’re doing the bidding of Moscow, which is, of course, pure McCarthyism. I thought we were past that in this country. I really did, and especially if you’ve overseen the biggest Defense spending hikes out of the Congress in a decade.

MM: Yeah, no question about it. And going back even to the breakup of the Soviet Union, I was one of those leading the charge for expanding NATO up to the Russian border over and over again over the years. So they’ll say anything and do anything. This is what we’re up against with the hard left today in America.

HH: Does it help or hurt them when they feed this outrage factory? I had Jason Chaffetz on last hour talking about Power Grab, and he says they have monetized anger. And I believe that is true about media has monetized anger. But have the Democrats monetized anger and slander?

MM: Well, we’ll find out. That’s what the election’s about next year, and the American people somehow are going to have to sort out all of this. And what I hope they’ll do is tune a good bit of this out and focus on the facts, which are that if the Democrats get power again, they’re going to turn us into a socialist country. The Green New Deal, Medicare for all, add it all up, and you have fundamentally changed America into a country it’s never been before. That’s what’s really at stake next year, not all of this hot rhetoric, but the cold, hard reality of what they’ll do if they get power.

 

Point #1 The Defense spending does not necessarily mean he is fighting against Russia. This unspoken war is being fought with more than weapons, so focusing on those only makes people who like big toys happy.

 

Point#2  His comments about monetized anger and the Democrats are so hypocritical I just can't even. And there is that word again: socialism. Well, Mitch, let's talk about Kentucky and socialism shall we? The "cold hard reality" Mitch is that you are the biggest con artist around.

Mitch may have access to polling, showing that there are more vulnerable Rs in the Senate than currently predicted.  He could very well be trying to protect them from having to take stands on issues the Rs don't want to.

I agree with you atomheartbevo.

McConnell was pretty young during the heyday of the McCarthy era. He interned for a rather independent guy, John Sherman Cooper, a senator from Kentucky and former Ambassador to India.

McConnell doesn't seemed to have learned how to play nice with the American people. Instead, he seems more interested in ignoring them. Just ask the miners. And the veterans.

ayup.  there isn't a challenge to his leadership because as long as he's taking heat, the rest don't take near as much.  there are enough that don't want to be on record on gun laws or healthcare or whatever, so the only vote you get in the senate is for the GND, which the democrats didn't want to be on record about.

We all have access to polling that shows 11 Republican Senators are vulnerable and 5 of those lean Democratic, ME, CO, AZ, IA, NC.

The best way to make sure that an insulting nickname sticks is to let people know that it bugs the shit out of you.

If Moscow Mitch wants us to stop calling him Moscow Mitch then Moscow Mitch should probably not tell us that calling him Moscow Mitch triggers the inner Moscow bitch in Moscow Mitch.

And maybe bring a vote on a bipartisan election security bill. 

Well Moscow Mitch isn’t gonna do that because Moscow Mitch needs Moscow support to help his Republican Party and Moscow Mitch’s own reelection prospects since most of Moscow Mitch’s moooney comes from Moscow. Ergo Moscow Mitch isn’t gonna stop Moscow interference into Moscow Mitch’s re-election. To think otherwise would be very anti-Moscow Mitch type thinking, you apparent anti-Moscow Mitcher.

Now DJ is repeating the McCarthyism phrase and tweeting about it. Not going to work, DJ. #MoscowMitch earned his nickname and it wasn't a politician who applied it. If anything, the constant cries of socialism by the Senator and the attempts to treat protestors against supremacy as terrorists and communists means YOU are the McCarthy acolytes.

One thing that Moscow Mitch and his Moscow Mitch psychophants don’t seem to understand is that except for a few Moscow Mitch supporters who are older than dirt, most people, whether they support Moscow Mitch or not, don’t understand what the fuck he is talking about when Moscow Mitch complains that people calling him Moscow Mitch are engaging in McCarthyism, whatever Moscow Mitch means when he says that.

Gracias mi amigo. I will reciprocate your generosity by, whenever you may need, smuggling you across the trump Mexican border wall by claiming that you are not only an American, but white as well. Should be no problem.

No one under 70 has any lived experience conceptualization of McCarthyism and 95% of the people under 40 don't even know what the fuck McCarthyism is. 

Great job GOP, you sound like out of touch lunatic crybabies to the majority of us. 

haha, no shit. I talked to a bartender during the Mueller hearing and she had no idea who he was or what our president was up to. you think people are gonna know who the fuck McCarthy was and why it's not even close to relevant here?

What are you talking about? People under 40 know who Paul McCarthy is. 

But to your point, it’s just another example of baby boomers speaking only to other baby boomers. Because that’s the only generation that matters to them. God forbid they come up with a more relevant example of blacklisting that people under 70 can relate to.

This seems like it could be problematic in Kentucky.  Moscow Mitch worked to keep money out of coal miner's hands even as he steered federal cash to an aluminum plant connected to Putin's boy:

Oh, that could actually sting.  I'm assuming his opponent is going to go hard on this.

I think there is fertile ground in investingating Elaine Chao,. aka Mrs. Moscow Mitch.  Nothing as fun as investingating Moscow Mitch's wife's ties to enriching herself and MM, via her families financial dealings with Communist China. 

Probably wouldn't take too much investigation if the Justice Department was led by an ethical player.  Imagine if a Democratic Senate Leader's wife was doing business with Red China Banking to build ships for their shipping business, while acting as Secretary of Transportation.  The ability of the GOP to be competely devoid of all principles and ethics for political gain is still the most amazing thing of the transition of the GOP into Trump's party.  Actually, maybe the GOP was this way all the time and it simply took Trump to encapsulate GOP values into a person?
