Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday evening offered a tepid statement declaring that he will support Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee.
“I have committed to supporting the nominee chosen by Republican voters, and Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee is now on the verge of clinching that nomination,” McConnell said in the statement.
“Republicans are committed to preventing what would be a third term of Barack Obama and restoring economic and national security after eight years of a Democrat in the White House,” he added. “As the presumptive nominee, he now has the opportunity and the obligation to unite our party around our goals.”
McConnell joins the ranks of several Republican lawmakers who have affirmed that they will support Trump as the party’s nominee. While many have resigned themselves to backing Trump, several lawmakers have avoided supporting Trump outright or said that they will never vote for him.
I think the only people who will stay #Nevertrump-ers are about two people at Redstate and two or three at NRO. Even then they are all hoping that Cruz can haz all the write-inz.
I get the sense that the National Review only ever supported Cruz because they delayed their endorsement so long that when they finally made one, Cruz was the only viable candidate left. Their columns about him, even the actual endorsement one, have this weird aura of discomfort and caginess.
Of course Mitch will support Drumpf.
The McConnell values:
Kentucky - good luck.
What a disgusting piece of shit. Everything he says and does is against the welfare of the citizens.
