Mitch McConnell has gone silent on Donald Trump as Senate hangs in balance
CBS News / Associated Press ^ | 10/25/2016

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.”

Holding onto the Senate is VERY important!

The Senate approves Supreme Court appointments, remember.

Better if we had more conservatives in place, but we certainly don’t want another Harry Reid clone as majority leader.

The only good thing about the Dems taking over everything would be this.

Oh my gosh, you named them! I love it. I hope we can fight the Dreegs with the ballots but if not they still need to be fought.

All I can say is, in future presidential elections, everyone not affiliated with the globalist elite needs to always say they are voting for the globalist candidate and then NOT vote for that one. (Though maybe in the future we will not have an outsider at all running - no one wants to run this horrible gauntlet Trump and his family had to)

The Senate is very likely going Democrat.

I know I will be writing in a candidate on my Ohio Ballot. I will not reward a Uniparty member with my vote. Portman can kiss my ass.

Who cares what McConnell is doing.

CBS and Associated Press are just stirring the crap against Republicans instead of reporting Hillary’s crimes and corruption.

Future elections should be a trip given the number of people pulling the cable cord and relying on social media more than ever. We’re about to see if the old model of heavy TV ads still works. It failed in the Republican primary & it just might fail in the general. I will say this, the MSM is being ignored by a large block of voters and this is good.

He’s not running for office, so why not campaign for Trump?

Why would he campaign for the other side?

Do Turkeys even have balls

I don't know about balls...but turkeys are as dumb as rocks

Last year we had 3 turkey chicks...

so dumb we had to put a spare chicken in with them to teach them how to drink from the water trough and the feeder.

We called the carter, clinton and obama.

Now that’s funny......BTW, Turkeys do have testicles located INSIDE the body. But definitely no hand and swingers.
