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:

A doo wop favorite of mine.
hes scared.
bingo!
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE LAMENTATIONS OF THEIR WOMEN.
Somebody get me the smelling salts......(faint)
Looks like some of the GOPe are reading the tea leaves...

He “smells” a win. At least he kept his mouth shut, unlike traitor Ryan.
I hope Pres Trump stomps on this jonny-come-lately.
Who woke McConnell up?
“A little late to the party...”
Mitch is saying, gee Trump might actually win this thing with his finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.
Beware McConnell. He will stab Trump in the back at the earliest opportunity. McConnell is one of those RINO squishes.
McConnell & Ryan....both on the take, especially McConnell.
Nauseating.
Trump needs to sick some top quality forensic accountants on them. McConnell? Heck, I could do it! LOL
Even evil morons like Mitch can tell which way the wind is blowing during a hurricane.
the memo is going out from Ryan and Turtle, hopefully the internals are even better than what we are seeing right now...
