I do not trust McConnell AT ALL.

Yep. McConnell is the enemy!
Wasn’t McConnell hopeful their would be a second ballot?
McConnell is trying to stay out of Trump’s post November ashcan.
Ditch was hopeful that Cruz wouldn’t get the Rainbow Mosque and then kick Ditch’s butt up and down Penn. Ave. for the next 4 years.
Was Mitch a.k.a. “The Turtle” crossing his fingers when he said this?
Is he a delusional pot head or something? This is really unbelievable.
Bill Kristol is a loon tilting at windmills; Don Quixote without the whimsy.

Kristol’s pick is a nobody named David French; he’s a fairly good writer and analyst but I don’t think he has ever run for even the head of the local Lion’s Club chapter and he is a complete unknown.
