I Agree! But a lot of people who could possibly defeat Mitch don't want to run the risk of losing to him, it will set them back. I know of one Dem who could do it but as I mentioned above, you are going against a very powerful person with unlimited amount of funds. So why not wait until he steps down? This goes for both parties, which republican wants to run against him in a primary? He is about 70, not sure of his health, so many good people on both sides will just wait him out.

BTW, I do put McConnell in the list as old guard that is bitter and not being productive. Trent Lott ditto. McConnell is one of the last hangers on of the previous generation.

 

The Rubios, Ryans, Wests are starting to come up the ranks and displace the old guard bitter repubs. The Dems - well they were counting on Weiner for one their young leaders I believe, maybe Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?

I will leave on this, whoever wins in November we ALL need to work together! This partisan crap is hurting many people, you cannot have good government without compromise.

 

Plus, it's not really the president that gets things done, it's congress, need to know why we are in this mess? Just look at the approval rating of congress, it's at 10%! Would you want a doctor operating on you that only scored a 10 on his exams? Or a police officer, firefighter or EMS person who scored only a 10 on their exams? If not, why not the same expectations for congress? The problem is we look at other congressmen other than our own. I would be happy if Mitch was gone and replaced by another republican, but then KY would lose his powerful position. Remember when Paul won? Mitch about broke his legs running to Paul to buddy up to him and wanted to throw tons of money his way, he did this as he see's Paul as a threat to HIM!

 

If by working together you mean supporting partial birth abortions, gay marriage, increased entitlements, increasing the size of government, decreasing the value of the dollar, raising taxes on anyone, forcing healthcare reform down our throats, circling the word with your tail between your legs, befriending the Muslim Brotherhood, dismissing the National Day of Prayer, opening our borders to illegal ailens, and putting the coal industry out of business while wasting billions on green energy. I'll pass.
