Nevada Democrats revealed their 2018 election season mascot Tuesday — a giant green turtle by the name of “Mitch McTurtle.”

State party chairman William McCurdy showcased the turtle costume at a campaign function Tuesday afternoon.

The mascot, which consists of a turtle holding a money bag, was created to poke fun at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The Nevada Democratic Party plans to use “Mitch McTurtle” at campaign functions to link local Republican candidates as being in lock-step with the Senate Republican leader. – READ MORE

Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has officially ignored national concealed carry reciprocity for 44 consecutive weeks.

It was introduced in the Senate on March 1, 2017. McConnell has yet to say a word in favor of the legislation.

His current silence is simply of continuation of what the common man has come to expect on the issue. After all, on August 13, 2017, Breitbart News reported that national reciprocity was languishing while McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) remained mum on the issue.

National reciprocity was actually introduced in the House more quickly than it was in the Senate, thanks to Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC). He put forward the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act on January 3, 2017, but it was not until December 6, 2017, that enough conservatives banded together to overcome Ryan’s stonewalling of the measure. It appears conservatives in the Senate will be forced to band together in a similar way to overcome McConnell’s seeming indifference to the measure as well. – READ MORE

So, like some liberals, he simply decided to call for the death of his political opponents.

First, Dan Pfieffer, who was Obama’s White House communications director, decided to communicate his own smug little wish.

Then Rhodes chimed in.
