Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has never had much to say about Donald Trump. But lately, he has fallen completely silent.
On the few occasions when the Republican leader has appeared publicly in his home state of Kentucky this month, he’s either avoided answering reporters’ questions, or explicitly refused to address the topic he acknowledged was on everyone’s mind: His party’s presidential nominee.
At a local Chamber of Commerce event in Danville, McConnell twice instructed the crowd not to ask him about the presidential race “even though that’s what I know you all wanted me to talk about.”

Some leader…in the sense that Benedict Arnold was a leader. Win or lose, he needs to be demoted.

How can anyone be silent in the most important race in our country’s history? This guy is a duplicitous fool!

To be honest, I think he saw what happened to Ryan and knows better.

Kentucky is going to go heavily for Trump.
The quisling knew if he opened his mouth he was done.

My family and I have gone silent for Pat Toomey.

It’s not important to him. Nothing will change for any of them. They will still have their cushy jobs and pensions. They will still get to enrich themselves off of our backs.

Unfortunately, he’s not up for reelection until 2020.

Yesterday I heard a sound byte from my state's junior senator that could have been a verbatim excerpt of Cruz's speech at the convention. "Vote for values", etc.
I'll never vote for him again and in fact I would consider voting for a Democrat against him.
Our senior senator, OTOH, has at least had good enough sense to keep his mouth shut and not insult us that way.
So yeah, McConnell is still a whore and so are the GOPe's.

Wonder if Mitch understands that he and his buddies are the reason there *is* a Trump?

Me, too. Toomey said he is "distancing himself" from Trump so we are distancing ourselves from him.
Also, I am skipping all posts on here from CBS, NBC, ABC, Politico, and all other articles written by the MSM. Nothing but lies...
