McConnell won't say if Trump is qualified for presidency

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wouldn't answer questions Sunday about whether Donald Trump is qualified for the presidency, saying he'll "leave that to the American people to decide."

The Kentucky Republican was pressed on ABC's "This Week" about Trump's lagging poll numbers -- and concerns that a series of controversies, which have included attacking a judge's ethnicity and firing his campaign manager, have left growing numbers of voters believing Trump is unqualified for the job.

"I think there's no question that he's made a number of mistakes over the last few weeks. I think they're beginning to right the ship. It's a long time until November. And the burden, obviously, will be on him to convince people that he can handle this job," McConnell said.

He praised Trump for firing campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and for increasingly using a teleprompter to deliver prepared speeches, rather than off-the-cuff remarks.

1. For the republicans it's all about winning the White House

They don't care what happens as a result of a bad Republican President, just that they took it.

It is as juvenile as that.

2. McConnell can't admit that for all his high-and-mighty BS over the past 8 years, the party

will have a candidate who is an utter ass. You can bet the Republicans are wringing their hands behind closed doors that it ever came to this. A complete clown who is beyond their control.

So many of us are loving this!

8. WTF? To a conservative there are only two answers, yes (if it's their idea) and mostly NO!!

Conservatives don't do shades of gray.

9. Why would you ask someone not qualified for the Senate?

He's just as big of a waste of time as Trump.

10. "I think they're beginning to right the ship."

Yeah well, sometimes when the ship capsizes it sinks.
