McConnell: 'Honest' to say election is about lesser of two evils
The Hill ^ | Jun 7, 2016 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 06/07/2016 9:05:49 PM PDT by Ray76

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in an interview this week that it's an "honest answer" to say that a general election match-up between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton represents picking the lesser of two evils.

"We know for sure we have two very, very unpopular candidates.

The GOPe hate Trump with a passion, but know that not supporting Trump would destroy the party. So they will, through gnashed teeth, support Trump.

I hope some one pulls the rug out from under him...
Wake up Kentucky voters...he will be close to 80 the next election that he can run in..Pray he decided time to leave...

ENOUGH OF PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS...WE NEED TERM LIMITS...HOPE DONALD J. TRUMP BRINGS UP TERM LIMITS...AND THEY APPLY TO EVERY ONE IN CONGRESS..EVERYONE..

(by the way I heard that dude named Gary Johnson from New Mexico said he would approve TERM LIMITS) YIKES..hope voters does fall for that bug eyed dude...

We know for sure we have two very, very unpopular candidates.

Except that the voters found them the most popular candidates running.

Do politicians have any idea just how much they are scorned?

Great movie!

And on a side note, on a really good sound system, with this movie, one can close their eyes, fall into the (audio) experience, and truly think they are on the ship...

“Remember when we got stuck with McCain?

That was hard.”

Romney was even harder!

Mitt got 1.5 million votes in CA. 4 years ago.

Trump will get somewhere around or over 3 million tonight.

And Mc Turdle says Trump is unpopular. Trump is already 4 million votes ahead of the all time GOP primary and that with 17 candidates in the race.

I would not be surprised if Trump won the CA. GOP Hispanic vote like he did in Nevada.

The “lesser of two evils” as McConnell puts it is equivalent to voting for McConnell in order to just keep another “r” on the congressional roll call.

Voting for Trump may just make some changes to keep this country a Country and not just a place to have an address.

If anyone recalls the picture of Sean Penn trying to bail water out of his little boat (with the drain plug missing), Trump will FIRST put the drain plug back in and THEN bail out the boat.

(and unlike McConnell, Mr Trump can have a productive job if he loses the election and will probably still continue to help the country)

McConnell and similar of our elected “leaders/representatives” are nothing less than depicted in the movie MASH by Hot Lips Houlihan when she was going to resign her commission if something wasn’t done about the degenerates...

Well Margaret, resign your d... commission!

MY Commission, My Commission

I know.

It was great.

I sent an email to Trump’s website though.

When I went there it was nothing but provisional ballots.

Several reasons for this.

Two people ahead of me.

The man is not on the list. Provisional ballot.

According to their records, the woman in front of me already voted. Provisional ballot.

For the rest of us(half dozen or so-still early)the little printer thing that prints out the tickets wasn’t working. Again, provisional ballots.

That didn’t sit well with me.

My precinct had problems too. Unfortunately for the county bureaucrats, our city council woman, an R, lives in my precinct. Popcorn time.
