An Even Worse Senate: Replacing McConnell with Obama-Plouffe Nate Morris
As we watched the (admittedly slim) Senate Republican-majority use the last couple of months to make the Big Broke Bill ever-less palatable to actually less government people everywhere?
It made us wish to replace the lot of them. Or at least a lot of them. Which brings to mind next year’s elections.
North Carolina (allegedly) Republican Senator Thom Tillis opposes the Big Broke Bill (Yay!). But does so because it actually does something good - massively cut fake energy subsidies. And Tilis doesn’t want to see that happen (Boo!).
A mean Tweet or two from President Donald Trump? And Tillis is heading for the Carolina hills - and retirement from the Senate.
The race to replace Tillis in a swing state will be inordinately high-profile. Lots of money - and lots of scrutiny.
As we have too often seen, it is the “safe” states that are often the unsafest.
To wit: Kentucky (allegedly) Republican Senator Mitch McConnell is FINALLY hanging up the necktie. And the Bluegrass Staters need to choose a replacement.
I know what you’re thinking:
“But Kentucky is a pretty safe Republican state.”
Yes, it is. But as we’ve seen all over the country? Republican primaries are not a safe place. Especially in “safe” states and districts.
Because in “safe” Republican parts of the country? People who aren’t Republicans pretend to be Republicans. So they can run in Republican primaries - and actually get elected.
To wit: Kentucky (VERY allegedly) Republican Senate primary candidate Nate Morris.
Morris certainly understands the “safe” state GOP game he has to play. It’s 2025 - and that means MAGA.
Morris must be accepted as MAGA if he is to win a Kentucky Republican primary (and then likely cakewalk through the general). So he’s hitting as many MAGA hot spots as he can.
This past Thursday Morris announced his candidacy on Donald Trump, Jr’s “Triggered” podcast. And then began his campaign rollout with MAGA darlings like Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk joining him onstage.
And Morris began railing against McConnell about a year before announcing his run to replace him. Because that’s what MAGA was doing at the time.
Oh: And Morris has a TON of his own money with which to run.
All of this is beginning to look like a pre-cooked Morris MAGA coronation. But it’s actually under-cooked. It’s raw in the middle. Because Morris isn’t actually MAGA. He just knows Kentucky’s political topography - and is putting on a false MAGA show to navigate his way through it.
Let’s begin with how Morris made his money. He co-founded waste recycling company Rubicon. Which is not a real company. Trash recycling is exactly like the wind and solar fake power Tillis wants the government to keep funding.
All are fake industries people enter to cash in on the hundreds of billions of annual dollars in government subsidies DC sloshes at them.
Morris grabbed LOTS of that sweet, sweet government cash. And used lots of it to fund lots of of elected officials. Who are, of course, responsible for his government cash.
And what would a Leftist fake recycling company be without full-on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)?:
“Rubicon Founder, Chairman, and CEO Nate Morris has signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ (CEO Action) pledge. Launched in 2017, CEO Action is the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace.”
And what would a Leftist fake recycling company be without a Barack Obama guru on its Board of Advisors?:
“David Plouffe, the former top aide to President Barack Obama, has joined the board of advisers of Rubicon, the waste management company co-founded by Nate Morris….”
You remember Plouffe, don’t you? You should. Because he is an utterly unreformed Leftist:
“He was the senior advisor to Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign.”
So Nate Morris spent his “career” with his snout buried in the government money trough. Running a fake company further polluted by DEI and Leftist Democrats.
He inhaled many millions of our dollars doing it. Which he then used to fund the elected officials responsible for his many millions.
And now he wants to be an elected official. To see how the other side of the scam lives. (And likely fight to protect his fake business model.)
But to get there? In Kentucky? He has to pretend his life’s work - isn’t his life’s work.
He has to pretend to not only be a Republican? But a MAGA Republican.
I would certainly hope actual MAGA Republicans don’t let him get away with it.
