Bozell: Republican Senators Must Consider Whether Its Leadership Can Accomplish Anything
Sen. McConnell is politically toxic to everything he touches,
even his party’s signature campaign promise.

CLIFTON, VA – September 26, 2017 — Following Senate Republicans’ repeated failure to pass Obamacare repeal and replace legislation, David Bozell, President of ForAmerica, released the following statement:

 “This current Republican leadership team is responsible for one GOP failure after another to deliver on its promises.

“It is well established that Republicans spent close to eight years promising to do everything they could to get rid of Obamacare, if voters returned both chambers of Congress to the GOP, then the White House. Now that Republicans control everything, each time an opportunity has risen for GOP leadership to stop Obamacare, they have failed.

“Worse, McConnell’s preferred strategy of writing bills behind closed doors and forcing make-believe arbitrary deadlines, have failed, again, in spectacular fashion.

“Because of the lack of results, McConnell sits at an all-time low and politically toxic nine percent. There are serious concerns as to whether McConnell and his Leadership team can cut taxes, fight illegal immigration, or tackle any major issue facing our country. 

“Republican Leaders been given all the leverage they need by voters, and yet Senate Republicans have delivered nothing – effectively ending its majority.  

“Any current Senator who wants to do right by his or her constituency must now seriously consider whether this leadership team can deliver on anything.”
