Republicans can’t lead
After eight years of saying no to President Obama, the Republican House, Senate and presidency are now showing the world what major league leadership and organizational skills they have honed while playing obstructionist politics. Nice work. Their current flow of headline losses are proving the rhetoric spilling from their word-holes have been nothing more than political grandstanding and lies.
The leadership skills of Sen. Mitch McConnell and the deal-making skills of The Donald have been grossly overstated. Even strong-arm tactics behind closed doors didn’t get continual sourpuss McConnell his (non) health care bill passed. Simply saying no, and pulling out of the Paris Agreement, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership is not an artful deal, made by a shrewd discerning deal maker. In short, these fellers couldn’t find their posteriors with a detailed map.
Imaginary deity, please save us.
