leaders 'routinely cave in' to Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer

Sen. Rick Scott on Saturday said that Republicans should "stop compromising" with Democrats and criticized his party's leadership team in the upper chamber, accusing them of "routinely" caving into President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.

While speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition convention in Las Vegas this weekend, the Florida lawmaker — who last week was defeated in his challenge of Mitch McConnell of Kentucky as Senate GOP leader — said that the party's leadership had become too deferential to Democratic leaders.

And Scott made the case that Republicans didn't regain a Senate majority this year — accentuated by Republican Adam Laxalt's loss to Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada — because the party hadn't articulated what they would do if elected to office.

"The people that win elections tell people what they're going to do and they're hellbent on getting it done," the senator said, noting that Republicans across the country wanted to see an agenda come from their leaders in Washington, DC.

Until you control both houses of Congress you're going to have to compromise dipshit.

1. whe had to do it with them.

[dchill]

2. Not a two way street.

[msongs]

3. so did he announce HIS version of the republican agenda lol. hell not nt

[Ray Bruns]

21. Republican agenda is: Impeach Joe Biden for??????

Investigate Hunter Biden.
Pass tax cut for millionaires and billionaires.
Cut social security.
Cut Medicare.
Investigate Hunter Biden some more.
Benghazi (sorry, I got carried away).

[rubbersole]

4. Scott isn't taken seriously by anyone that matters.

The fact that his only real accomplishment is stealing more money from Medicare than anyone else lets him think he's going up the political ladder. His picture on TV scares children. 😱

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Can someone please explain to me how.....

refusing to give a SINGLE VOTE to the 'Democrat' bill is considered 'caving in?'

Time and time and time and time AGAIN there was NO indication of 'reaching across the aisle' - working with the leadership of the 'other' party - in order to do what would be good/better/best for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and it's citizens!

GAWD, there are times when I wish there were automatic lightening strikes when someone speaking in public utters BULLSHIT!!!!

[brer cat]

6. That is exactly what I would love to see.

A lightening bolt come down and zap these liars and a$$holes.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Repubs stopped compromising about 30 years ago...

[MyOwnPeace]

9. INDEED! It was Newt and his "Contract On America".......

that really locked in the 'Justification of Being an Obstructionist SOB' with the RepubliQans because they realized that they could never actually 'win' a ruling program again.

I'm guessing he's hoping his wife serving at the Vatican will get his 'sins' absolved..........

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. Yup. It's straight out of the Newt's contract.

[In It to Win It]

8. So basically Republican legislators shouldn't try to legislate while the opposite party holds the WH

Interesting

[Chellee]

10. "The people that win elections tell people what they're going to do..."

Yes.

Except you didn't win. You lost. You're not in control of the Senate because you lost. And you're not in charge of party decisions because you're not Minority Leader because you lost that too.

You're a loser, Senator Scott. Sit down.

[Genki Hikari]

12. Take your own advice, you lowlife loser

Democrats won the Senate. They get to "tell people what they're going to do and they're hellbent on getting it done," you stinking lowlife LOSER.

Deal with it, lowlife LOSER.

[KentuckyWoman]

13. When did they start?

Amazing how easy it is for the GOP to start off with a lie.

[Cha]

14. Shut UP, RS.. you LOST. nt

[Cha]

15. Ever wonder why your Big Ugly

Fuckface wasn't voted to be leader? hmm?

[ZonkerHarris]

16. Scott is coming after you Mitch

[moose65]

18. How can they stop if they never started??

When have these Republicans EVER compromised with Democrats??

Dem candidates always get asked what they will do to compromise with Republicans. However, the question is never asked the other way around!

[Mad_Machine76]

19. +1

This infuriates me to no end!

[Firestorm49]

20. "Stop compromising", what a novel approach to leadership. Ah, dictating! That's the answer.

[BlueIdaho]

22. With a Democratic Senate and a Democrat in the WH

They will get nothing done all by themselves. This is pointless saber rattling.

[republianmushroom]

23. sore looser (?) or just one of the republican flock?

[LymphocyteLover]

24. Senator Voldemort is not only evil but he is really dumb

Lucky for him he has Florida Republicans who will elect him

[Icanthinkformyself]

25. Hey Tricky Ricky,

Yes, you did articulate what you and the other Republicans would do if you took power. That's why you didn't get the Senate and have a much smaller than expected majority in the House. People are usually dumb, but they are not always stupid.

[Deep State Witch]

26. They Did Articulate It

It's just that more people don't want you to take away Social Security, Medicare, or women's rights to control their own bodies.

[sunonmars]

27. Maybe they need to ask the dipshit where all the GOP senate fund went?

[maxsolomon]

28. They did compromise, in 2 specific bills:

1. Infrastructure
2. Gun Control

It's called LEGISLATING. It's what they're supposed to do.

[Martin68]

29. "Republicans should "stop compromising" with Democrats?" So what else is new? May I ask when they

actually started compromising with Democrats? They're doing it again. Doubling down on bat shit crazy anti-democratic tantrums.

[lame54]

30. Yeah. That's their problem. Too much compromise.

[czarjak]

31. You misspelled start, meathead. Dead from the neck up. Meathead!

[Beartracks]

32. "hadn't articulated what they would do if elected to office"

The GOP has very much been broadcasting their values and priorities the last few years, and most Americans find it appalling.

The problem, GOP, isn't how you're spinning or "articulating" your message; the problem is your message and what you stand for.

=============

[DFW]

33. Well, that shouldn't be hard to accomplish.

That‘s like suggesting that elephants should stop flying.
