I tend to be critical of GOP leadership, but their most recent moves are very encouraging as they stand up and against those who dispise this once great nation.

 Editor's notes:  Indeed,  the invite to Netanyahu by House leadership,  was extraordinaire.  The letter of the 47 Senators declaring their desire,  their demand,  to be part of the Iranian nuclear deal coupled with McConnell's demand that Senate ordered sanctions not be taken down without a Senate vote,  and, the letter coming from 360 House members,  120 of them being Democrats,  objecting to Obama's circumvention of Congress,  mean's that Obama has run out of time and support.  So he is left with own devises.  20 months from now,  we will be rid of him and revolutionary wife. 

WASHINGTON — Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has begun an aggressive campaign to block President Obama’s climate change agenda in statehouses and courtrooms across the country, arenas far beyond Mr. McConnell’s official reach and authority.
The campaign of Mr. McConnell, the Senate majority leader, is aimed at stopping a set of Environmental Protection Agency regulations requiring states to reduce carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants, the nation’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Once enacted, the rules could shutter hundreds of coal-fired plants in what Mr. Obama has promoted as a transformation of the nation’s energy economy away from fossil fuels and toward sources like wind and solar power. Mr. McConnell, whose home state is one of the nation’s largest coal producers, has vowed to fight the rules.
Since Mr. McConnell is limited in how he can use his role in the Senate to block regulations, he has taken the unusual step of reaching out to governors with a legal blueprint for them to follow to stop the rules in their states. Mr. McConnell’s Senate staff, led by his longtime senior energy adviser, Neil Chatterjee, is coordinating with lawyers and lobbying firms to try to ensure that the state plans are tangled up in legal delays.
On Thursday, Mr. McConnell sent a detailed letter to every governor in the United States laying out a carefully researched legal argument as to why states should not comply with Mr. Obama’s regulations. In the letter, Mr. McConnell wrote that the president was “allowing the E.P.A. to wrest control of a state’s energy policy.”   . . . . . . .   read more,  here.

    1. Bush was "under water" in 2004 and his reelection bid, yet, he garnered 12 million more votes than in 2000. Obama was up 67% just before his 2008 election, but won with only 53 % of the vote. Unless the GOP candidate does not want to play hardball, in the spirit of a McCain or Romney (nice guys finish last), Hillary will not be our next present. You laughed in 2010 and 2014, also. Keep laughing on my way to the bank.
