McConnell ‘increasingly optimistic’ there’ll be a contested convention
In other words, he doesn’t like Trump or Cruz, either.
Click here for reuse options!Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell turned down an opportunity to comment on his personal beef with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to implicitly criticize Donald Trump and said he is “increasingly optimistic” that there were would be a contested GOP convention in Cleveland.
McConnell did not call out Trump by name, but when asked by WHAS11ABC over the weekend to comment on Cruz’s refusal to apologize for calling McConnell a liar, the Kentucky Republican instead pivoted to address claims that the delegate system was somehow rigged.
“It is important to for everybody to understand that the convention rules will require you to get 1,237 delegate votes, and until one gets to 1,237, they will not be the nominee,” McConnell said. “So there are some candidates suggesting it’s somehow tricky to simply follow the rules of the convention. We are going to follow the rules of the convention.”

Damn, think about that…the senate majority leader is in open rebellion against not just his party front runner, but the runner up too…I’m thinking of booking a flight to Cleveland just to see this cage match up close and personal…

KY-McConnell’s overlords lost big, funding 17+ GOP runners. Besides. Big Daddy Charles & David fund any and all climate deniers including Donnie or whoever until 2016~.

Wow. Like Vivian Vance, who was the frumpy neighbor and sidekick on I love Lucy. Vivian was actually a Hollywood hottie, but they had to frump her up so she didn’t upstage Lucy.
