Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will support Donald Trump and thinks the business mogul can win the presidency, the Kentucky Republican tells "CBS Sunday Morning."
To people afraid of a Trump presidency, McConnell sees protections in the system to prevent mistakes by the White House occupant.
"What protects us in this country against big mistakes being made is the structure, the Constitution, the institutions," McConnell tells Jan Crawford. "No matter how unusual a personality may be who gets elected to office, there are constraints in this country. You don't get to do anything you want to. So I'm very optimistic about America. I'm not depressed about the nature of the debate."

Pathetic crap-weasels! Can’t stop anything g Owebowma does and even enable him for 8 years, but you can limit Trump?
Not saying g the executive shouldn’t be limited. They should. But how pathetic to say this at this time.
“No matter how unusual a personality may be who gets elected to office, there are constraints in this country. You don’t get to do anything you want to”............
Talk about “unusual personality”, why in hell is odumbo not harnessed under this presumption? The big eared bastard child gets to do anything, spend anything, ignore anything he damn well pleases. McConnell should have been dumped a long time ago

I distinctly remember Mitch saying we must marginalize these Tea Party people before they get here.
I have said since it first appeared that Trump could win that they would suddenly rediscover all the power they claimed they didn't have to restrain Obama.
Few here recognize that it will take as much power to undo the last 8 years of this unconstitutional regime, mostly because the strict conservative constitutionalist we counted on, have purposefully let this happen.
The world is The Onion now.
McConnell’s memoir bashes outside conservative groups

McConnell is part of the problem
WTF is this moron babbling about?
They certainly have the power of the purse strings.
No, they in actuality do not. Theoretically, yes
They have the power to shut down the government and are unwilling to allow that to happen because politically it is not feasible.
The check on the Executive branch designed by the founders no longer works in actuality
OMG. So these eggheads in Congress and SCOTUS couldn’t restrain the current tyrant...?
No. It is not acceptable to their K-street overlords. Trump is giving everyone a taste of what is politically feasible when you work for the benefit of America's citizens rather than the world so-called elite.
If Trump gets elected, the same Republicans that undermined the Tea Party will attempt to undermine him. These people serve their financial backers and could care less about helping to advance Trump’s agenda.
