He then called Hillary "intelligent and capable" all the while saying his Republican nominee is "not credible!" What about Benghazi or her emails?!!

Here we go again. You know who reacted positively to this on Twitter? Liberals! (and NeverTrumps like Amanda Carpenter).

One of two things are going on here:

One, Mitch has resigned himself to supporting Trump and legitimately feels that he's not yet credible and is hoping to push him that way. That of course insults the 14 million voters who did find him credible.

Two, Mitch doesn't support Trump, but he feels he has to say he's endorsing him as Republican Senate Majority leader. Therefore, Mitch wants to pull a Paul Ryan and straddle the line saying, "I support him, but I'm really concerned with..." Or, "I support him, but I strongly disagree with..." In his mind, he's feeling he's doing just enough to say the "right" thing but just enough to go with the media narrative about Trump and cause doubt even among the voters in his party. Once again, this ignores the 14 million Americans who voted for Trump.

After reading what he said about Hillary, it HAS to be number 2. I believe Mitch, like Ryan, really would prefer Hillary get elected. Then the Republicans can portray themselves as white knights fighting against Hillary and run their establishment guy in 2020.

‘But now that you are in the general, people are looking for a level of seriousness that is
typically conveyed by having a prepared text and Teleprompter and staying on message.’

*******************

Not totally off course with that statement. Trump needs to get on a prepared text/message
and forget the rambling he was doing during the primaries. He needs to get on message about
Hillary and hammer that until the cows come home.

McConnell is a moron. The base never selected McConnell, but they selected Trump.

And this Kentucky fool, foisted upon us by clueless Hazard County voters, is highly capable of siding with the enemies of the American people.

And that RINO SOB McConnell has never been a credible republican senator. He’s one of the main reasons we need term limits.

McConnell is sold out to the Hillary/Islsmonazi money. We must replace him at the first available election - without fail.

If McConnell said what he says he said to Trump, then he opened the window to what appears to be a pompous, arrogant attitude--causing one to wonder if he ever, ever watches and listens to himself on TV.

One wonders why he believes that he is "intelligent and capable" enough to sit in judgment on the "credibility" of the millions and millions of American citizens who voted in the Primaries for Trump.

Perhaps he is not even cognizant enough at this age to understand that his words are not challenges to the "credibility" of Trump, but represent a personal judgment of the moral choices of millions of his fellow citizens.

Thomas Jefferson, that genius Author of our Declaration of Independence and President, was much more humble in his judgment of his fellow citizens' opinions:

Consider Jefferson's observation:
"State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules.” - Thomas Jefferson

All the so called campaign professionals, fundraisers and bundlers that McConnell knows very well have been left in the lurch by Trump. He’s parroting their gripes.

McConnell: “Trump clearly needs to change, in my opinion, to win the general election. What I’ve said to him both publicly and privately: ‘You’re a great entertainer. You turn on audiences. You’re good before a crowd. You have a lot of Twitter followers. That worked fine for you in the primaries. But now that you are in the general, people are looking for a level of seriousness that is typically conveyed by having a prepared text and Teleprompter and staying on message.’

You can bet your bottom dollar McConnell never uttered those words to Trump. Trump would have told him where to go and ran him out of the room. Look for Trump, if he reads the quote, to say the conversation never happened. No way this SOB talked to Donald Trump like a child.

Trump needs to ditch this guy and do the opposite of whatever his advice is

"What I’ve said to him both publicly and privately: 'You’re a great entertainer. You turn on audiences. You’re good before a crowd. You have a lot of Twitter followers. That worked fine for you in the primaries. But now that you are in the general, people are looking for a level of seriousness"
-This is him telling others, "hey, use this as material against Trump"


"that is typically conveyed by having a prepared text and Teleprompter and staying on message.'"
-He wants Trump to hurt himself. He think using a Teleprompter does that to Trump. He also mentions staying on message which is the purpose of Paul Ryan and Romney and people like Mitch. They interject to try and keep Trump off message.

Thanks to the Liberal owned news media insufficient of we the people understand what the establishment entails, therefore they get away with their scheme.

All the major news corporations are owned outright by leftists, or leftist influence, as well the government is under the control of the left, therefore anyone attempting to create a competitive, but objective media entity is blocked before they can start.

Three: McConnell is a barely-abashed HRC supporter.

Why does Mitch McConnell wear a tie?
To keep the foreskin from covering his head.

He wanted Don on script. Now Don is on script—except when he isn’t.

Having won the primary, Trump now needs to defeat the Democrat and Republican parties in the general.

The GOPe is actively against him.

He’s such a dumb**** and that is a polite description. Since when do these GOPe idiots come out and say their nominee is not yet credible?

I guess he and others are afraid their secrets will come out of the closet if Trump is elected.

Just watching FNC. Guilfoyle has Santorum on. Rick is all in for Trump! Good for him! Santorum has it right, the people chose Trump, fully supportive, and thinks the GOPe are a disgrace! Rick Santorum is doing what ALL Republicans should be doing at this juncture. Santorum just went way up in my book!
