WASHINGTON — Count Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell among those rolling their eyes at President Trump's repeated promises that Mexico will pay for the construction of a border wall.

"Uh, no" was McConnell's terse response when he was asked at a Politico breakfast if Mexico would pay for the wall, generating laughs from the audience.

Mexico doesn’t have to write us a check.
10% withholding on all remittances to Mexico will fund the wall.

[Parmy]

McConnell wouldn’t know how to earn an honest dollar if his life depended upon it. And, he probably hasn’t written a check to buy something since forever.

[Popman]

Mitch the post turtle, There is more than one way to skin a cat...

That being said I hope nobody actually thought Mexico would pay for the wall by sending them a invoice....

That’s simply not realistic...

Trump needs to kneecap Ryan and McConnell before things really unravel.

Re McConnel: Help me out. Has a greater mediocrity risen from the Republican ranks to such an exalted position? I know he compares favorably to Harry Reid, but should that be the epitaph on his tombstone?

There are all sorts of ways to get Mexico to pay for the wall and Granny McConnell knows it.

He, along with Ryan, McCain, Scalise, and Graham are some of the snakes in the swamp we need to drain the next time there is a primary. I think they will be far more vulnerable at this time.

[Vendome]

Yeah, they will....

[Lurkinanloomin]

The first targets should be the ones who voted for the Gang of Amnesty.

Corker, Flake, Hatch and Heller.

[TakebackGOP]

Mitch McConnell hasn’t accepted the results of the election. He thinks Trump will be out of there real soon and anti-illegal immigration activists will disappear.

Little Debbie Downer...

That’s it Urkle, toss water on it.

[Paladin2]

Let the frackers into Mexico to extract the wall value in “free”. oil

[DoughtyOne]

Here lies the body of Mitch McConnell.

Well, at least he wasn't Barbara Boxer

[ZULU]

They are also problems as is Little Marco, McCain’s other sock puppet.

[Phil DiBasquette]

Based on the YUGE legal vote Presidential win and other outcomes,
Ryan and McCain were ripe for Cantorization.

Yet, just shows all politics are local.
Have no idea what Ryan has done to ascent to Speaker or keep his seat, but at least I give McConnell credit in blocking Garland
(no, not Judy or Wayne but Merrick)

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

If not Mitch, who would speak up for the cheap-labor Chamber of Congress? Do they not also have a right to buy the best politicians they can afford?

Go back to sleep, Mitch.
