WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that while presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is “a phenomenon” and political outsider, he has earned the right to the GOP nomination and the party’s support.
“I think Donald Trump is a phenomenon. I don’t believe Donald Trump is going to change the Republican Party in a fundamental way. He appeals to a lot of voters, he’ll be the nominee. I don’t have any problem supporting him,” McConnell said.
McConnell said Trump is helping the party reach out to voters who “have not lately voted for Republicans.” That will make the party’s competitive in November against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, McConnell said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“The reason I’m supporting Donald Trump is I don’t want four more years just like the last eight,” McConnell said, adding, “there’s no chance Hillary Clinton is going to be any different than Barack Obama.”

You’re easy.
Translation from Mitch: “We’ll see who really controls Washington when you get here. You think you’re gonna change the process? Well, buddy, you’ve got another think coming.”
This interview was very competent on McConnell’s part. He is very good at framing issues favorably to the point he is trying to make. If our choice is to dis him for past actions at this juncture or to be grateful for his present support, I choose the latter. He made his points of disagreement with Trump diplomatically, which may help the party and the downstream.
Katie Couric, on the other hand, was the usual condescending partisan. I expected no better, and she did nothing to earn a better opinion. For instance, she made a point that “Mitch” is not his real name (it’s the nickname of his given middle name, Mitchell) as if that were somehow comparable to having installed his own server in his bathroom for classified info. Good to see Mitch just flicking her concern trolling off his pants leg like a piece of lint.
If I were McConnell I wouldn’t hedge ANY BETS on who WILL end up controlling the party !!! SHUT UP Mitch you are a useless piece of crap!!!
Thanks Mitch! /s
Damn right Mitch you uniparty POS!
Maybe.
make your argument why getting back at him would trump his allowing Obama to name a judge who would help create a 5 to 4 ruling destroying the Second Amendment.
FUMM

Because Mitch has denied the IA his SCOTUS nominee much is forgiven by me but not all. But this step is another one in the right direction.
McConnell is trying to both badmouth Trump and stay out of the trash can if Trump gets elected.
“The reason I’m supporting Donald Trump is I don’t want four more years just like the last eight,” McConnell said, adding, “there’s no chance Hillary Clinton is going to be any different than Barack Obama.”
At least he is diplomatic and fairly objective about it, rather than unhinged like many of the so-called conservatives.
