FOX News (Archived): McConnell makes grim prediction about Republicans in Senate races, references 'candidate quality'.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, thinks that Republicans have a lukewarm chance of flipping the Senate in November, citing "candidate quality" as a factor.
The senator made the honest prediction at the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Thursday afternoon.
"I think there's probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate," the minority leader anticipated. "Senate races are just different, they're statewide. Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome."
"Right now, we have a 50-50 Senate and a 50-50 country, but I think when all is said and done this fall, we’re likely to have an extremely close Senate. Either our side up slightly or their side up slightly," McConnell explained.
"Candidate quality"? Mitch just wants more UniParty members with a flaccid "R" behind their name. It doesn't have to be this way, but Mitch wants RINOs. Political Longevity before Country. Got it, Mitch...a looooooooooong time ago.
Give a Silver Platter to Republicans and they always find a way to f#ck it up. Every Single Time.
HEY! Mitch! LOOK! LOOK OVER HERE: AP (Yahoo Archived): Pro-Trump wins in blue states threaten GOP hopes in November.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Republicans have found success in Democratic strongholds like Maryland and Massachusetts when they have fielded moderate candidates who could appeal to voters in both parties. With Democrats facing headwinds this year, Republicans had hoped that strategy could pay off yet again.
But Republican voters have nominated loyalists of former President Donald Trump in several Democratic states, including Maryland and Connecticut, making the GOP’s odds of winning those general election races even longer. Massachusetts will face its own test next month as GOP voters decide between a Trump-backed conservative and a more moderate Republican for the party's gubernatorial nominee.
A "moderate Republican" is Democrat Lite...or, a RINO. Mitch doesn't want Republicans who are endorsed by Trump.
Mitch is happy throwing in the towel months before the election. He doesn't care.
