72% of GOP Voters Dissatisfied With Boehner, McConnell

Added another GOP entrant, Bobby Jindal, whom has as director of Louisiana: “We received the Senate”.

For months, some House conservatives have urged McConnell to change the Senate’s unique procedural rules so that legislation does not need a super-majority of 60 votes to advance. He has declined to get rid of the Senate filibuster in order to block the Iran nuclear deal, and critics say he surrendered the fight over federal funding for Planned Parenthood by declaring early on that he would actively seek to avoid a government shutdown.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) praised outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on the floor Friday in a warm tribute to his “friend”. “Now we’ll see if crotchety Mitch McConnell will be as honorable Oregon go down fighting”.

When another Republican presidential hopeful, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, interrupted his speech at the event to relay the news that Boehner was leaving, raucous cheers broke out.

That doesn’t mean conservatives will be silent – McConnell epitomizes the Republican establishment in Washington that several of the top GOP presidential candidates such as Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina are running against. “62 percent of Republicans feel betrayed by their party” primary voters told FOX News in their latest poll. “Mr. Boehner has no backbone when it comes to standing up for principles that Christians believe in”, said Ron Goss, an activist from Locust Dale, Virginia. Like the other conservatives assembled from around the country for the weekend summit, Frazier has said that conservatives expected big things after the 2014 midterms and Republicans took full control of Congress. Instead, he continued, “it’s been a year and a half of nothing”.

The GOP shake-up in the House portended uncertainty in leadership for Republicans.

The crowd at Washington’s Value Voters Summit cheered as Sen.

“He thanked Boehner for his service in the House leadership and fondly recalled the effort he made to turn the political tide in favor of Republicans after Democrats captured the House in 2006 and the White House in 2008”. “Nothing would make me happier”, Cruz said shortly after Boehner’s resignation announcement.

“We won the Senate”.

Boehner’s departure will leave the Senate majority leader with two unenviable roles: He’ll be the sole Republican leader with direct experience with how to get Washington out of a jam. And the Kentucky Republican will soon inherit the bright red target for conservative outrage that Boehner sported for so long.
