Facing the digital wrath of a Republican president increasingly unhappy with legislative roadblocks, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told a GOP gathering in his home state on Saturday that people should not be surprised with the challenges that come with governing. That's the way it is in our country," McConnell said during the Republican Party of Kentucky's Lincoln Dinner in Louisville. McConnell sought to quash those sentiments on Saturday, vowing to pass both and have "a permanent impact on the country." Republican Party of Kentucky chairman Mac Brown said McConnell's refusal to confirm Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court is "one of the primary reasons we have a Republican president today." He said Senate Democrats like Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts "want to redistribute income," calling them "the party of government."
