McConnell: Trump ‘doesn’t know a lot about the issues’

A fine endorsement from the Senate Majority Leader.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday that Donald Trump needs to pick an experienced running mate because “he doesn’t know a lot about the issues” and strongly urged him to change course on his rhetoric.

In an extraordinarily frank interview with Bloomberg Politics’ Masters in Politics podcast, McConnell, who is on a book tour touting his autobiography The Long Game, also expressed broader concerns about the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

“He needs someone highly experienced and very knowledgeable because it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know a lot about the issues,” McConnell said. “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: Trump ‘doesn’t know a lot about the issues’
    Sure he does.
    Issues that involve him, no matter how crazy they may seem.

    Why the hell would you support a person to lead your party as you claim that don’t know much about the job they are trying to get hired for?

    Trump’s expertise on domestic and foreign policy issues is limited to scapegoating entire demographic groups, making enemies of our allied nations, spewing petty insults at anyone who dares to criticize his positions and statements, and telling everyone in the nation how great and wonderful life would be with him in the White House.

    What’s funny about this is, neither does McConnell.
