WASHINGTON—Mitch McConnell’s record-long reign as Senate Republican leader has lasted long enough for former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Trump has spoken recently with senators and allies about trying to depose Mr. McConnell and whether any Republicans are interested in mounting a challenge, according to people familiar with the conversations. There is little appetite among Senate Republicans for such a plan, lawmakers and aides said, but the discussions risk driving a wedge deeper between the most influential figure in the Republican Party and its highest-ranking member in elected office.
LOL
Rooting for Trump on deposing mcconnell. The obstructionist bought by big money needs to go down!
Why doesn't Trump do it himself? Or is he too busy with his 'three-dimensional chess' plan to become the next Speaker of the House and then retaking the Presidency after impeaching Biden and Harris?
Trump needs to look for a lawyer because he is going to court for trying throw the election in Georgia. Mr “I need you to find 11,000 + votes” lol
Why does a private citizen who was impeached twice and still hasn’t turned over his taxes from his last two runs get to run his mouth?
If I had to choose sides between McConnel and a Trump backed candidate...
Mitch has been blocking all progress for decades. He’s handed him two Supreme Court justices and given trump everything he could. Trump must be getting a little desperate
Hmm who lost their seat in White house & who is still in Washington Tiny ?
It's the first thing on which I've ever agreed with Cinnamon Hitler.
😂😂😂😂Hilarious Liberals are screwed now so they pull got Trump to get rid of Mitch or do they continue the hate Trump crusade and pull for Mitch just because Trump is against him
chefrocky413 LOL moscowmitch WON his election.
Delicious!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜
Good. He can continue to tear the GOP apart. I welcome his participation. What a joke.
'For a decade in Hungary, conservative nationalist Viktor Orban has curtailed media & judicial freedom, criticized multiculturalism & attacked Muslim migrants as a threat to Europe’s Christian identity.' GOP wants to do the same here!
I don’t blame Donald Trump for fighting back against people who wanted him out of office.
Oh this is juicy stuff! Love the in fighting. Hastens the self destruction by the party
Eat em n smile!
🍿🍿🍿
Trump should be careful. Mitch has been in the senate since the signing of the declaration of independence.
By now, the former presidump & current, violent, rape defendant, credibly accused pedophile & self-confessed, pussy-grabbing seditionist should've been arrested, tried 4 his crimes, convicted & squatting on death row, but this is America where the wealthy are truly above the law.
Donald Trump should NOT involve himself in US politics.
And we’re making murderer Trump relevant again? Why?
All of the liberals commenting on Mitch McConnell being challenged love the guy. Every step towards socialism america takes and every conservative issue lost is a direct result of having weak leadership like McConnell. He is not a leader in the Republican Party
I don't agree with the methodology, but I agree with the results.
Why is he speaking to anyone? He's no longer President.
Trump to LeaderMcConnell
DBChirpy Trump only exists because of McConnell. So Trump is either trying to drum up attention, or is delusional, most likely both.
The old bastard is going to pit one against the other!I wonder if this could be the straw that breaks the poor elephants back?
How do you know you're becoming a fascist... When Mitch McConnell isn't right wing enough for you
No sympathy for republicans. They created and fed the monster.
It should be a serious concern this con artist is trying to build his own political cult following. Even if he doesn't make it back in office he still influences laws made. Like the Georgia voting restrictions.
Nobody will touch Trump anymore. His act brings out the worst in humans.
While he was an a$$, I did like many of Donald Trump's policies. That being said, it is time for him to move on.
Donald Trump, who was left to play 'greatest President' while Mitch McConnell leveled the lives of Americans, now wants to play with Mitchell McConnell's bigger, badder toys. Perfect
I can't wait for mtg to call mcconnell a marxist, communist socialist. 🍿🍿🍿
Why is even talking to tfg? What does he have to say that makes sense and adds to our national discourse? The guy tried to foment an insurrection. Why is he being given space to air his grievances? Having said that, it would serve GQP right if he did succeed.
The WSJ should remind its readers that trump mocked POW,s and disabled Americans.
Why is Trump even a thing anymore after the Capital attack ? FBI SpeakerPelosi
WSJ doing what it does best: making shit up about Trump. Let me guess they got it from “a source” 🤦🏻♂️🤣
🤣🤣 He always eats his own, it’s hilarious.
Why would anyone care what Trump thinks? His power over the GOP is nothing more than a politically calculated choice. People are tired of his constantly trying to be relevant. He's not. Everyone needs to stop feeding the beast!
The traitor vs the stooge
Alexa, add popcorn and soda to my shopping list.
Shit eater eats shit
Unfortunately, mitch comes up for election in 5 years. I doubt either of these guys will be around for that.
Imagine thinking McConnell is too liberal when the senate already gives a larger handicap to republicans than any electoral system in the world. When minority rules isn't enough, authoritarianism is next.
Baloney Sandwich.
Wait, this Mitch
😂😂
Can they just take eachother out?
lol I read at first I thought this said smt about Mitch McConnell decomposing and I thought 'huh, that's a pretty accurate description of Mitch McConnell
McConnell is more powerful than TFG in the Senate.
He’s one of the biggest reasons the GOP has the malignant tumor staying power it had right now. Removing him would be shooting the selves in the foot. So I totally expect them to do it.
There’s gonna be a fight lol!
It's fun to watch things like this eat each other.
Even Trump is done with McConnell? 😂😂😂 Oh man, why do people keep voting for that clown? Kentucky must have something in it's water.
😂🤣🤣😂
💡 Trump has a great idea for once! Mitch McConnell has done more to hurt this country than anyone—including Trump.
🙏🙏🙏 Give me the Cliff’s Notes: What is the 🍊🤡’s problem with McConnellWeasel?
Wait a minute. I thought the AG in New York had Donald Trump in her crosshairs and he was going to jail? What happened?
THIS is what you get for placating Trump all these years. A kick in the ass. Serves you right, LeaderMcConnell .
What Republicans will soon find out is that Trump never was or is a Republican..
LeaderMcConnell gets everything he deserves.. they all do; Trump gives a damn about country or the GOP ..
What Republicans fail to understand about Trump is the fact if he can’t win no one else can .. he will attempt to burn the entire party down .. not to mention Trumpers are not true Republicans they are disenfranchised grifters & Im curious to know how many of them actually voted
I wonder, will Mr Trump bring former Kentucky governor, GovMattBevin off the bench?
LOL
Eating their own people….ugh.
I'm all for this. Let them turn on eachother and destroy themselves from within.
this I don't mind
LeaderMcConnell to trump. Bring it on
Haha didn’t Trump hire MitchMcConnell spy/wife as a cabinet member? This new gop is joke
Well this got interesting
Oh give it up. Don't give this narcissist a platform
Why are you still writing stories on this man? Good lord.
Just another way to get attention on Twitter in the category of “Trending”. Boring…..
Mean old Republican Mitch McConnell stopped President Trump's generous relief package for Americans before the election that those generous Democrats won.
Mitch for all his faults is still far better than trump. At least Mitch will honor the rule of democracy, even if it doesn't fall in his favour. Mitch has some honor. Trump the rat has zero honor.
Can't wait to see how this unfolds. Mitch likes to win and isn't likely to take this lying down
Sounds deadly....
Mitch McConnell must go, he is at present Biden’s saving grace.
Lie everyday for 4 Gdamn yrs..bribe a country try to mussel election officials set in motion a attack on the capital and Law Enforcement..duh huh and still allowed to give sick ass rallies to the same deranged minds of Jan.6th..WTF isn't trump in prison yet..WHY?
It would have been much easier for Mitch if he'd simply voted to impeach Trump the second time.
Why doesn't Trump just go away, he was the cause of galvanising the attack we all saw & is just trouble. He's all self & power mad.
If you support Trump and don't know that you're in a cult, I'm here to tell you, your mind is lost to the ages. You're hopeless now.
Give them both enough rope, we live to see it...
SO THANKFUL to not be in the republican cult.
They eat their own children too.
asnorm Now tfg is plotting to divide and conquer his OWN PARTY! Can you imagine what he would do if he was ever back inside the White House? Promise to ourselves: NEVER AGAIN!
lol if these idiots really do believe Trump won re-election than why would they support McConnell? the two positions are inconsistent oh wait.....
WSJ, I genuinely question why you are still giving this man attention and a platform
McConnell needs to retire.
Trump- “if you can’t play by rules I’m taking my racists and going home”
It's the ultimate battle of the shitbags
this next year mid term, it will be the TOTAL debacle of the GOP. Keep following Trump you stupid brainless losers!: It will be late when you realize that the political best thing that could happened to Democrats was: Trump! Think about it, you GOP morons! but hey, HEYYYY...
Watch out Mitch
Trump is no longer president yet there he is, the radicalized leader of the Afghani Taliban, running the Republican Party in the USA. If I were McConnell, I would be very scared. Trump is capable of any Epstein-ish kinda thing.
Who cares what that donkey does,is doing, wants, says or posts. LET IT GO AWAY.
Why are they still meeting up with him? They all crave power and nothing else and it's very evident. They fear taking a stand and being ousted by their own party.
How many people had 'Mitch McConnell wasn't right-wing enough for Donald Trump' on their Bingo card?
If Trump wants McConnell gone, why doesn't he or one of his siblings run against him......I think we all know the answer.
It way time to move “45”along💯
Good luck with that Trump.. 😆😅😄😃
Trump has no loyalty I do not see why these republicans follow him or allow him to just take over. If u disagree with him he wants you gone. That is a very bad sign on a human being. Very bad. They should have impeached him and sent him to prison. It would have been better !
I would love to get rid of Mitch McConnell, but having one disaster go after another doesn't make me feel great about the outcome. It's like what Tornado do you root for?
Enough said!
Hopefully it happens. McConnell is not a good person. Exact opposite of good person
I can’t believe Trump of all people is making me cheer for McConnell?🥴 They’re both terrible, but Trump can never have his way.
When you invite Nazism into your party...
I am sure that goone named Thune is chomping at the bit
LOL
Sending another athlete come on there’s got to be someone that can move to Kentucky and run against him just like the guy from Texas this move in back to Georgia so to speak or has a home in Georgia that’s now running for Senate. SMH
Democrats should currently be hyper vigilant about new 👉 Republican “Democrats” running for higher office who are Republicans recruited by Republicans modeled after Krysten Sinema - Joe Manchin. We must do our vetting very carefully. God bless investigative news reporters.
Just as Trump thought that the U.S. Attorney General was his personal attorney, he also thought that Mitch McConnell would do his bidding, for him, forever. Trump is/was too narcissistic to realize that Mitch is out for Mitch…and Mitch alone.
Oh this is a tough 1, it's almost like, if 45 wants Mitch out, maybe we should want him to stay, think of who could replace him...ugh..Dems better not let this go through if they have even the tinyest say so in the matter
I would never vote for a party that allows Trump to pre-select our leaders. If this continues, we will soon have Democrats and the former party guys. Patriotism is to the U.S., not to one person.
Why not get Charles Booker to replace MoscowMitch instead? It would do much more good
McConnell dealing w Trump is like a bunch of teens playing video games and handing a little kid an unplugged controller so he feels like hes playing
Okay Mitch, It's time to break bad . 🥊
Love to see the GQP imploded from within.
sambowne [adds more popcorn to shopping list]
This is what you get Moscow Mitch! All that loyalty for nothing.
Judging by the overall GOP response, it would appear that Mitch McConnell is more powerful & more popular than Donald Trump. Interesting.
Mitch just got re-elected to a 6 year term. Trump can’t touch him.
If republicans truly want to crash the party they will follow trumps orders and go after McConnell
Does Trump really think he is going to be able to depose the guy that stole the courts for the GOP for the next 25 years? Not a chance.
I like Trump but he should mind his own business. The GOP leadership in the Senate is decided by GOP senators, not outsiders. Not even by a former President. The man wants to be the corpse in every funeral and the bride in every wedding. Can't grasp the subtle art of shutting up.
I am fine with this battle.
Not that I side with Trump, but Mitch deserves to be fired many times over, even for what he did to Obama.
Mitch
If TFG can take down Mitch then his destruction of the Republican Party will be complete
This is echoed by his lapdog RepAnthonySabatini last night on SHO_TheCircus.
The GOP Cult Ruler MUST have unquestioning loyalty.
LARRY ELDER is available for such gigs now!!!
Oh nooo. Please don’t remove McConnell from office, that would own the libs so hard!
Mitch has been around since Kennedy was president
In other words, trump drives another knife into mcconnell's back.
Imagine having to root for the second worst person in the world versus the worst.
Weird. It's like everything Trump touches dies. Even if you think you're tight with him, eventually you'll be destroyed. Someone said that once. Who was it?
Why is he relevant
He shouldn't even be involved.
Mitch should of put trump down when he had the chance.
Finally trying to do something good
I find it incredibly difficult to believe the GOP still care what Don thinks. Someone in that party needs to take charge.
So the republicans need to choose between McConnell or Trump. 🤔 Good luck with that 😀
This is music to my ears. Of course even if he is deposed, Mitch wins. He packed the court and got his Roe challenge
Sleep with dogs, you get fleas
Don't get me wrong, I'm not fan of Mitch McConnell, but he is not a stupid man by a long shot. Good luck unseating him. He holds way more clout and power than Trump ever did/will.
I guess Moscow Mitch should have voted for impeachment.
The American people are so sick of Trump and his whining. You lost, get over it 😠
Donald Trump is still alive
Bwahahahahasnorthahahaha
Trump be gone already 👎🏻
Didn't the Great American Cheeto say that if he lost he would go away? He didn't say if he believed he lost. Just another broken campaign promise.
Hopefully they eat each other lol
So the lemmings lying dead at the bottom of the cliff are somehow convincing other lemmings to jump off the same cliff.
*WHY* is it so difficult for all of the sane members remaining in the GOP to save America by standing up in unison and call out a man they know is a mentally ill ignoramus?!? Is their always precarious status within the insane asylum worth that much to them?!? I do not get it!!
Lol I can’t wait to here MAgAts screaming Mitch has to go then pointing to everyone of the republicans day after day. This is going to be fun.
Very ungrateful on trumpy bears part. Seeing Mitch protected him during his 2nd impeachment.
lmfao if mfers don’t agree with trump 100% of the time trump automatically views them as an enemy 😭😭
😆😆😆 After 2016 I will never be confident that Trump is one time hiccup but watching the Trumptanic and the enablers twist into knots trying to stay loyal to the MAGA base is fun. Sadly the are losing around 1500 a day due to covid. 🙄
If the maga fools would just take this for what it is they would understand what he’s all about. Himself.
DT needs to get into the shadows to mask his intentions. Should have the moment he left office at least for the most part. Any telegraphed move he makes is going to be met with piles of opposition. Not from the people but from string pullers + taste makers
Whatever breaks them into jabbering slobbering knuckle dragging little cohorts of poisonous yet powerless insects is ok by me.
BGPolitics
😂😂😂😂😂 now he turns on every one of his ass kissers!😂😂😂😂
Trump and his attempts at a coup running out of options. That should be the headline.
Great America learned nothing from nine eleven. End one war then start another one. Only this time civil.
Mitch better watch out. This is what he gets for lying in bed with Magats.
As much as I dislike Mitch, he was fiercely loyal to Trump. Crazy.
Sounds like House of Cards episode.
why ppl still talking about Trump? no one cares...move on
the only reason he didnt sign off on the trumps election fraud or coup was he knew trump thought he was a pest and would have got rid of him had he won lol
😊
karma
So
Keep making those enemies Trump! The sooner you will tip the scales the wrong way! Just like everything you touch eventually Goes bad
Why is he not in a
See even to Dumbass J Trump sees that Puckerface McConnell isn't worth the USA's time!!!!!
It is ironic that the party of holding on to someone who is not even distantly have any qualities of being a TRUE conservative, compassionate leader! If they rise from grave and raise their voice in unison, they can easily defeat the voice of cynicism!
Feeding the power ego
Mitch should be grateful that TFG only wants him “deposed”. Mike Pence almost got himself hung.
doctor_eon 🤣😂🤣
A house divided
'China' Mitch needs to go!!!
Yeah, not going to happen.
First Trunk would need to win a Senate seat. Maybe he'll take a run at Marco Rubio in the 2022 primary.
He wants unrestricted control of the Senate. His 95 % control in the House and 90 % in the Senate is not enough.
McConnell has seen many presidents come and go. My money is on him.
See how things change. This man who did not want to prosecute Trump, is now being backfired by Donald Trump himself. See how this man betrays his allies.
allahpundit
This is the problem. It’s not about Trump. This mentality is what will lessen the party. He is running out of people to betray. Hell Melania isn’t even around. Move forward people.
allahpundit
The amount of pettiness this guy harbors is just unreal
Old white rich men fighting for the crumbs of power…pretty pathetic…
This isn't going to happen anytime soon. It would be an unnecessary disruption unless the Republicans take back the U S. Senate in '22.
Why is this fat orange terrorists POS not in jail?
Strange use of 'depose'
Can Ironman be done, Fuck
Hmmm.. can’t help but wonder if LeaderMcConnell is still feeling good about all those times he kissed TFG’s ass.
If the Trump dynasty were to disappear, what future would the GOP have? By now, the Republican party is addicted to Trump.
Today I'm drinking it black coincidently
Mcconell give up power to do unheard harm to country to appease those in the minority. No way.
Yup… Mitch times up buddy ole pal…☝🏾
