Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he has reservations about the candidate at the top the 2016 Republican ticket: Donald Trump.
McConnell made headlines earlier this week for declining to say whether Trump is qualified for the presidency.
But in an interview with Washington, D.C. bureau reporter Geoff Bennett, McConnell said Trump is not yet a credible presidential candidate.
McConnell: "Trump clearly needs to change, in my opinion, to win the general election. What I’ve said to him both publicly and privately: 'You’re a great entertainer. You turn on audiences. You’re good before a crowd. You have a lot of Twitter followers. That worked fine for you in the primaries. But now that you are in the general, people are looking for a level of seriousness that is typically conveyed by having a prepared text and Teleprompter and staying on message.' So my hope is that he is beginning to pivot and become what I would call a more serious and credible candidate for the highest office in the land."
Bennett: "At the moment, though, I hear you saying he does not meet that threshold of credibility?"
McConnell: "He’s getting closer. Getting closer."

Thanks to the Liberal owned news media insufficient of we the people understand what the establishment entails, therefore they get away with their scheme.
All the major news corporations are owned outright by leftists, or leftist influence, as well the government is under the control of the left, therefore anyone attempting to create a competitive, but objective media entity is blocked before they can start.
Three: McConnell is a barely-abashed HRC supporter.
Exactly. Our people are so stupid. They honestly believe if they take some sort of moral high ground, the liberals and media will respect them. Uh, no. Meanwhile, they are propping up Hillary with her scandals, circling the wagons as usual.
Why does Mitch McConnell wear a tie?
To keep the foreskin from covering his head.
McConnell is not yet a normal, decent human being.
I didn’t vote for this Vichy sellout in the primary or the general. In the general I voted down ticket and left senate blank as McWeasal is bought and paid for and Grimes was a babbling communist idiot.
Mitch old boy Trump is the nominee deal with it. If you and Ryan keep behaving the way you do you might find come January 2017 a president Trump and minority leaders McConnell and Ryan because right now I have no reason to vote for any Republicans in Congress. Vichy to the core!
Doesn’t M. McConnel have wife with links to China?
He wanted Don on script. Now Don is on script—except when he isn’t.
This Post Turtle has a name.
On FR it is called "hondact200."
No one can figure out how it got here.
It's a fraud and a liar.
It is guilty of Stolen Valor.
How it found its way onto this post
known for patriots and selfless heroes
is still a mystery.
Having won the primary, Trump now needs to defeat the Democrat and Republican parties in the general.
The GOPe is actively against him.
He’s such a dumb**** and that is a polite description. Since when do these GOPe idiots come out and say their nominee is not yet credible?
I guess he and others are afraid their secrets will come out of the closet if Trump is elected.
And Pinky McConnell has NEVER been a credible Senator.
Just watching FNC. Guilfoyle has Santorum on. Rick is all in for Trump! Good for him! Santorum has it right, the people chose Trump, fully supportive, and thinks the GOPe are a disgrace! Rick Santorum is doing what ALL Republicans should be doing at this juncture. Santorum just went way up in my book!
Might as well kill all the birds with one stone right?
I wonder if that is what they see comming and it is another reason they are fighting aginst the nominee like they are.
Right now, I see Gingrich as the choice for VP. I would like to see another, but with Gingrich, who would become the president of the Senate...
Get my drift? Gingrich and majority leader Sessions would be pretty good?
You might wanna study how McExit gets elected here before blamin voters
Advertising guy does he have ANY chance of being primaried this year with the atmosphere as it is????
Was that turkey-necked piece of pig dung waving an old muzzle loader in the air when he was giving that interview?
Hey McConnell. FOAD.
He is done this time
This time he cannot manipulate the Native American vote again,they hate him
The establishment of both parties is linked to the globalist vision of the economy and world. Trump is a threat to that. They could care less who is president as long as they do their globalist masters bidding.
And by globalist masters I mean corporations and finance institutions using cheap overseas labors to make huge profits by selling items at higher western prices.
Think about it - why are Iphones so expensive. If they just doubled the cost of production the iphone would still sell for half the price it is selling for now with a 100% profit margin.
