I don't in any way think the American people rejected the Republican Party, or we'd be in a lot worse shape than we are.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
No matter what a candidate for president may say during the campaign, once someone is sworn in, they are constrained by the Constitution - about what the Constitution allows and doesn't allow, what the law allows and doesn't allow.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
I thought the Pence selection ought to reassure the right-of-center voters that a Trump administration would be a right-of-center administration.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Our nation has a regrettable history of drawing down our forces and readiness after each conflict, only to find ourselve ill-prepared for the next great struggle.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
I think it's a time to be sad about what's been done to the United States Senate, the greatest deliberative body in the world.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
You know, 'Professor Obama' has been a label applied to him by Republicans and Democrats alike. He's a very smart guy. But I think he'd be, you know, better served not to spend so much time trying to impress us with his particular position on an issue and understand that there are things upon which we simply have a disagreement.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
I don't want to sound like a whiner here, but if you get beat up all the time, it affects you.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
President Obama had two Supreme Court nominees in his first term. There was no filibuster against them.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
I think we need to respect the wishes of voters. They have been busily at work making these decisions in primary after primary after primary.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
So in the House and Senate, we own the budget. So what does that mean? That means that we can pass the spending bill.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
A reporter asked recently, 'What keeps you up at night?' I replied that I generally sleep well, but if I ever do have trouble, I don't have to count sheep. I count all the states I'm glad I'm not the governor of.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Things happen in American politics in the political center. If the President will meet us in the center, there are things we can accomplish.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
In the last 100 years, three presidents suffered big defeats in Congress in their first term and then won reelection: Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and the most recent example, Bill Clinton.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
The bill that job creators and out-of-work Americans need us to pass is the one that ensures taxes won't go up - one that says Americans and small-business owners won't get hit with more bad news at the end of the year.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Today, Democrats not only have the White House; they have the Senate too. So we have to be realistic about what we can and cannot achieve, while at the same recognizing that realism should never be confused with capitulation.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
It is a president's constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice, and it is the Senate's constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
I hope in the end that people will remember what Reagan said: that if he could get 80 percent of what he wanted, you call it a win and move on.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Everybody has barriers to overcome, some more than others. I don't want to act like I'm all that unique. America's full of stories like mine. This is a special country with enormous opportunity for those who don't quit.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
The White House has a choice: They can change course, or they can double down on a vision of government that the American people have roundly rejected.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Trump was able to convey - oddly enough a message from a billionaire who lives in Manhattan - a genuine concern for people who felt kind of left off, who felt offended by all the political correctness they see around them.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Diplomacy is important, extremely important, and I don't think these reductions at the State Department are appropriate because many times diplomacy is a lot more effective - and cert cheaper - than military engagement.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
The worst day of my political life was when President George W. Bush signed McCain-Feingold into law in the early part of his first administration.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Are we still a country that takes risks, that innovates, that believes anything is possible? Or are we a country that is resigned to whatever liberty the government decides to dish out?
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
America being a force is a lot more than building up the Defense Department.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
More young people believe they'll see a U.F.O. than that they'll see their own Social Security benefits.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
As I've said repeatedly over the last few years, the war on coal was not a result of anything Congress passed; there was no legislation.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Nurses told my mother that I was going to be OK. They thought I could walk without a limp and without a brace. And we stopped in a shoe store on the way home and bought a pair of low-top saddle Oxford shoes, which was sort of a symbol that I was going to be a normal little boy.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
When you hang the 'bipartisan' tag on something, the perception is that differences have been worked out, and there's a broad agreement that that's the way forward.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Americans don't think we should be raising taxes on anybody, especially in the middle of a recession.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
Mitt Romney has never been resigned to what someone else said was possible. He cut his own path. That's why he believes in his heart that America has a future full of opportunity and hope. And that's why when Mitt Romney looks down the road, he sees a country that's ready for a comeback.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
We all know that Social Security is one of this country's greatest success stories in the 20th century.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
People are genuinely excited about taking the country in another direction.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
We're a country of five-second sound bites and 30-second commercials. Eight years of one person is just too much.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
We need to say to everyone on Election Day, 'Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and help us finish the job.'
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
The Senate is allowed to work the way it was designed to - meaning a place where nothing is decided without a good dose of deliberation and debate, as well as input from both the majority and minority parties - it arrives at a result that is acceptable to people all along the political spectrum.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
I just want to remind everybody that this is an extraordinarily resilient country we live in.
Quote by -Mitch McConnell
The fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill; to end the bailouts; cut spending; and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things.
