Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell On FoxNFriends
Senator Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell was on FoxNFriends earlier this morning to market his new book 'The Long Game: A Memoir".
When questioned about what it was like to work with Obama, he stressed how difficult it was to get anything done because the president wouldn't compromise on much. He also said that when Obama was lecturing and taking charge it was especially grating. One can only imagine ...
As a side note, the Majority Leader then promoted how much easier it was to get things done when Joe Biden participated in law making.
Hmmmmm... Wonder if that was a hint of who the Dems will replace Hillary with should she be indicted in re: email issue (see Breitbart link on a Huff Post article here for details: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/05/30/exclusive-huffington-post-writer-editors-deleted-my-article-on-hillarys-imminent-indictment-disabled-me-from-writing/ ).
But I digress.
The above is all well and good and I don't doubt for a second McConnell's stance on the difficulty of working with Obama. The POTUS is one formidable politician.
However, while listening to the entire interview I grew tired of his blaming everyone but himself for Republican based laws that didn't pass. It's especially annoying to hear this because the GOP has had the majority in both the House and Senate. What more could one ask for?
I know. Majority Leaders with backbone, the courage of their convictions and more persuasive strategies.
In any case, I am looking forward to a changing of the guard as far as Majority Leaders go come 2017. Why do I think this may happen?
I can't help but surmise that McConnell thinks Trump will most likely win the presidency and doesn't plan on sticking around if that happens. Thus his writing the book now and striking while the iron's hot.
Meanwhile, I'm sure there's more interesting tidbits and gossip that'll come to light as the GOP Majority Leader continues to promote his book and more people read it.
