'If you're looking for total consensus among Republican senators, you're not going to find it,' Sen. McConnell said after a lunch meeting with Republican senators. 'We do have division about what to do.'

"What we're hoping for here is a bipartisan proposal negotiated by the president of the United States and his team that can sign a bill into law and the Democratic majority in the House that can appeal to a significant percentage of Republicans in the House and the Senate," McConnell said. He said he expected that such a deal would be"something I'm prepared to support, even if I have some problems with certain parts of it."Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., dismissed reports that Meadows was exploring having the president sign executive orders to usurp the negotiations in Congress.

In other words this GOP senate works for Trump and as normal nothing for the people will be forthcoming from THEM. They'll blame the democrats for not caving and passing the GOP bill too little and late to help at all.

He's an abject failure just like Trump. Why can't get get his caucus on the same page? Nancy can do it ...

We are in trouble if the dems try to figure this one out

What an absolute cluster fuck. endthegop we can do so much better if we start by voting them all out.

If only he felt that way all the time instead of just when he wants votes!!!

Is that an indication of change in McConnell's power?

Playback Mitch only care about himself

Well, well, well. Divisiveness has it's bounds after all.

Losing your clout there Granny?

thumperftw This fucking guy checked out years ago, I’m not why he’s even there... FUCK HIM

Is he saying that his fellow republicans are even more ruthless than even he imagined 😳

senatemajldr JohnCornyn GOPFailure again.

There he goes another piece of unfinished legislation under his belt. Lacking the ability to collaborate, communicate, or compromise to get the job done. Time for leadership, new direction, and truth.

Too much pork stuffed in by the Dems.

Do your damn job!

If Moscow Mitch would just do what’s right for America Trump wouldn’t matter. Override majority would rule.

In all my years of living I have never seen or heard of so many politicians passing the buck because they don't have the balls to take a stand for what is right! Why are you there evidently your incapable of doing your job because your afraid someone will get mad at you.

NO STIMULUS MONEY FOR KENTUCKY!!

Bahahaha, so this is how the senatemajldr leads? By taking a back seat to SpeakerPelosi ! Serves him right. He could have taken a leadership role months ago and shown he was out in front. Instead he the turtle impression. He doesn't have our best at heart. MoscowMitch

He just put the blame on trump

thumperftw Like in your dreams. Like the healthcare we have been waiting for for 3 pluss years? Like social security was safe? Like preexisting conditions were safe? Shall I go on sir?

And he's hiding from the negotiations he ignored since May. Run on that.

GOP, the enemy of the people

GOP

They have no desire to help ordinary Americans! NONE! So, how do they deserve your vote in ANY election?

No more pork for Pelosi I don't blame them.

Duhhhhhh

All of a sudden he cares about the American people?

We have to collectively recognize that Trump didn’t do all this damage alone. He had help. Republicans are just as dysfunctional and corrupt as is Trump and in fact guided him in many of their attempts to siphon money from the American people.

ReviewResist In other words... Senate Majority Leader McConnell, knowing he's going to lose in November, is now trying to been as someone with a soul.

Are republicans really not going to vote yes for financial aid during the worst economy since the Great Depression? My gut says that in the end they will vote yes. McConnell is just losing his ability to organize his caucus and he knows it. This is a huge win for the Dems.

Good job Nancy and Chuck. I guess Mitch decided that combining voting lines with soup lines wasn't a winning strategy.

The Republicans cannot even agree with themselves. They are an utter failure at governing, especially during this pandemic when they failed American families in every possible way. SenateGOP is now taking the cue from Trump and just giving up. Pathetic. Vote them all out.

gop weak minded fools that got taken over by a raging lunatic

Now you say this.? you should of said that since the beginning...Millions are in desperate need ....get to work...

Here in Kentucky McConnell and Trump are leading. These two is the reason we in this problem. Show the intelligence of the voters in Kentucky.

This oughta be good. How much money for illegal immigrants?

Republicans can’t govern🌊🌊🌊🌊 they are selfish corrupt and greedy 🌊🌊🌊

I never thought I'd see the day. Just think what he could have accomplished if he'd been doing that all along.

when u go further than a guy who stacks courts, then ur by definition out of ideas, good ones anyway...

Supporters are turning on Trump for ‘flat-out lying’ every time he opens his mouth. They say ‘THE FUCKING MORON has no idea what the hell he’s doing’. His lies, cruelty, corruption, greed, delusions of power are... TRUMP KILLING AMERICANS BY THE THOUSANDS!

senatemajldr thats middle lass and lower....both small business owners and families!!!!!

MoscowMitch knows he is losing his election

The GOP can’t agree on anything.

Bom Dia à Todos...

You mean the Democrats are holding everything up as usual! DoNothingDemocrats

MeetThePress Kleptocracy is a government whose corrupt leaders use political power to appropriate the wealth of their nation, typically by embezzling or misappropriating government funds

It’s political posturing senatemajldr to set up the dems to take the fall for GOP failures and economic impacts of their endless handouts after nov.

MeetThePress

Obviously, to both points in the tweet.

What’s the point of having the GOP in the majority in the Senate when they can’t lead or govern in a national crisis? senatemajldr SenateGOP

MCCONNELL USELESS VOTE THIS LOOSER OUT

Holy cow mitch is breaking one the main rules of the modern GOP... compromising with the 'enemy'. Makes sense, it's an election year so got to pander

MeetThePress The Republican party doesn't care about 'people' because people are just 'working' capital to be used and then discarded by the 1%!

P.O.S.

Pathetic on all levels. Time to clean the Red stained Senate and White House, and start anew.

No leadership in the WH, no trust/leadership in the Senate. Trump needs to lose in November and face the NYC DA's office, Mitch needs to retire to Moscow or China with his wife, he is the poster boy for term limits.

Lol yeah Moscow we know your party’s a joke. Thanks for the major validation though, once the Democrats pass a relief bill I’ll laugh my ass off

People who vote for republican keep voting againt their on interest..

NBC DOENT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS Drum Roll Please Retweeted George Papadopoulos GeorgePapa19 · 1h Sally Yates signed fraudulent FISA warrants. She is testifying before the Senate today.

Evil bastards. The turtle with a sense of urgency? How?

That’s a smart tactical move on his part. They were very focused on Covid-19 libel issues. They chose this tack to force the democrats hand. Could backfire though. Democrats still hold the strategic position. They will negotiate and achieve concessions. Pelosi is shrewd.

The GOP is a failing, dying party.

So why are we paying Senate Republicans in the first place?

It’s not generosity - it’s politics. When Biden wins, he will return to deficit hawkery to block everything.

Pathetic.

That’s yesterday’s news idiots

It is what it is. DumpTrump

Asylum inmates rarely do agree on big issues now do they?

QUESTION: How can the GOP find Trillions of dollars to help companies that don't need it? Yet, can't find it to help the hard working Americans in need immediately?

Multi millionaires divided if to help their constituents. Ah ok telling on their selfishness.

Oh really so just for that. I'm not voting Republican. There and you will not find my vote in your valets. Because we the American people are in need of money and support from all politicians. God bless America our home sweet home. 😷🙏

It's no division the Republican party led by the Grim Reaper wants to do nothing for the people just like they pass no legislation for the people nothing new that they don't care for children half eating and being evicted from their homes and Apts

I really thought the election of John F. Kennedy signaled the beginning of the end of septuagenarian politics & politicians. Man was I wrong. Term Limits Please!

Probably going to lose that one.

So he’s saying he can’t possibly do his job

McConnell doesn’t want to help We the People. Never has and never will. Time to change it up.

Sooo I'm just thinking if these people not agreeing is destroying our lives why don't we fire them all and just have a national vote for our issues

Many people in Kentucky are suffering. senatemajldr You better end the division and pass the financial aid. Your job depends on it, not that you need a job, but I think you like the attention and power.

Sure, Moscow Muthafucka!

If the Republicans hadn't been so negligent in fighting this pandemic, we'd be recovering and reopening right now like the rest of the first world and wouldn't even need a 4th stimulus bill. They've not only killed thousands of people but sank our economy as well.

Republicans have consensus on things like refusing to see evidence/hear from witnesses at Donald Trump’s trial.

Meaning, “We do have division on how cruel and stingy to be.”

So, question is does Mitch support a deal on a bill that includes a plurality of Republicans within their caucus who are outnumbered by the Democrats who support the same bill?

Oh resorting to bipartisanship? How novel. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s why all of you need to be voted out. Trump has rendered each of you ball-less! FYI you work for Americans!

The reality is that DNC is worried that Black people are turning on the DNC and are going to vote Republican in November. The DNC does not 'own' the black vote. RealCandaceO RepVernonJones
