Steven Bannon going up against McConnell politically is like Peabo Bryson fighting Mike Tyson.

What do you envision could have been done that McConnell wasnât able to do, in practical terms?
He got you all the judges and justices you wanted. Heâs effectively gamed the Senate rules and customs. He got the tax cuts. Whatâs the thing that you wantedârealisticallyâthat Mitch couldnât deliver?

those things would have happened regardless of who was there
in my view he does little to unite and ignite Repubs to stand up against maniacs like schumer, pelosi
he signs off on all these ridiculous spending bills that puts Americans last. from both sides
plus he joined the utter insanity of blaming jan 6 riot on trump.
he plays all the same old political games to no oneâs benefit but his and his political cronies
no thanks
Ya gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette. Just think how powerful the Senate Republicans would be under Cruz, known as a great uniter. 
Ugh. Yabut, the devil you knowâŚ

Careful what you wish for. A lot of Democrats in 2016 were thrilled that Trump got the nomination.
It seems like Trump is planning on control of the party and then running again. Itâs not surprising. Just as a few Democrats are blocking Democrat power plays now, so a few Republicans were blocking Trump in 2016.
As long as McConnell is in power, I donât see the Senate ending the filibuster, as Trump wanted.

An end to the filibuster, just like Democrats like now, so that Trump could rewrite all the laws he wanted.
Lol a childâs understanding of politics.
Even if he had, the Democrats still had control of the House. So the rewrites would have failed.
too bad all you do is insult posters
i would otherwise have a response to this
anywho, insult away
Things donât just happen. Without McConnell, Trump wouldnât have passed anything or get those judges appointed.

Two election cycles ago McConnell was close to being primaried. His opponent had a decent lead the weekend before the primaries. The Establishment GOP went all-in on ads and endorsements to push him over the top.
I have wanted him replaced since way back then.
Lol Mitch has done more for the conservative movement than anyone.
Who blocked the garland nomination.
Who got hundreds of conservative federal judges confirmed.

Most of the younger generation arenât pragmatic enough.
