In a remarkably candid admission, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) openly acknowledged that his party’s presidential nominee “doesn’t know a lot about the issues.”
In an interview with Bloomberg’s Masters of Politics podcast, McConnell said he hoped Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would select a vice presidential candidate with a lot of experience to make up for his lack of policy expertise.
“He needs someone highly experienced and very knowledgeable because it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know a lot about the issues,” McConnell told Bloomberg. “You see that in the debates in which he’s participated. It’s why I have argued to him publicly and privately that he ought to use a script more often—there is nothing wrong with having prepared texts.”
McConnell went on to recall a moment when he recently saw Trump at the National Rifle Association conference. According to Bloomberg, McConnell asked Trump if he had a script. Trump confirmed he did, but dismissed it as boring. McConnell quipped, “Put me down in favor of boring.”
Just means that Trump " fits right in " —
Mr. " fake it till ya make it " for Pres. ! —
In the matter of one year, Trump has pulled back the curtain on everything Lee Atwater worked hard to cultivate, and what Ronald Reagan mastered.
In all honesty, Mitch doesn’t know a lot about any issues either.
Takes one to know one.
