In his home state of Kentucky, Senate Majority Leader is rallying fellow Republicans for his partys presidential nominee Donald Trump. We need a new president, Donald Trump, McConnell said, according to Associated Press. The Leader has neither cheered nor jeered the New York City developer in recent months.
If America votes like Kentucky, well be fine, he said.
McConnells shyness about Trump was widely seen on Capitol Hill as an acknowledgement of splits inside his partys caucus.
McConnells endorsement of Trump comes one day after he was trolled by USA Today. In an editorial: McConnell, majority leader of the silence of the GOP, the paper listed other Republicans who have backed away from Trump. But it saved its taunting for the Kentucky senator:
McConnells no-harm-no-foul play was in stark contrast with his opposite number, the leader of Congress lower chamber Speaker Paul Ryan.
In the time between Ryans endorsement and Columbus Day, the speaker was quick to lend credibility and cover to Democratic attacks on Trump, such as his call for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration, Russian tampering in the presidential election, claims that the Trump campaign was using anti-Semitic messaging and that Trump called for gun owners to assassinate his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Then, after the lewd 2005 tape of Trump using foul language to describe women was released Oct. 7, Ryan canceled his Oct. 8 invitation for Trump to campaign with him for the first time in the campaign. Ryan later held a conference call with Republican congressmen telling them he would not defend nor campaign for his partys nominee

A little late to the party...
I actually hope McConnell is on President Trump’s corruption investigation list.
Trump is gonna own the soft shelled Turtle.
he’s scared.
Yeah, that’s super, Mitch, thanks and we appreciate your vote.
But the base won’t like you any better on Nov. 9 than they do today, you RINO loser.
I think McConnell has finally concluded that Trump might pull it off.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Weighs In: I can read the polls!!
We need a new Majority Leader
Even Levin would say “what took him so long?”
McConnell saw what befell Ryan and Cruz and is toadying for his job - glad he’s acting like he’s on board but way too little and too late.
Better late than never
Eat Shit and Die Mcturtle head.
No offense to turtles.....
Count on it. They will fight trump at every move.
I don’t think McC means it: he may well vote for Mrs. Bill. Paul, by contrast, endorsed Trump early but probably didn’t relish doing so.
Even if the GOP keeps control and replaces McC, the new man will be Lamar! Some improvement
Too late, Luthor. Too late.
this is like the scene in Braveheart where all of the lords finally back earl of bruce’s bid for independence
“A little late to the party...”
My thought exactly.
