Is Donald Trump qualified to be president? For many of us, the answer is an easy “no,” possibly delivered with a shocked snicker. But maybe more telling is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s answer:
"Well, look, I think it'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 on ABC's "This Week."
Pressed by ABC Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on whether he thinks Trump is qualified, McConnell replied, "I leave it up to the American people to decide."
It’s another piece on the giant landfill of evidence of how terrible a candidate Trump is, but when it comes to McConnell, it’s … shocking. This is the guy who is holding open a Supreme Court seat for Trump to fill, and he can’t say for sure that Trump is qualified to be president. Wrap your mind around that one. There can be no argument that McConnell is motivated by anything other than 100 percent pure partisanship in everything he does if he is willing to have the tipping point vote on the major issues of the day be chosen by someone he can’t even pretend to believe is qualified to be president. Evidence that Trump is unqualified? Yes. But even more evidence that McConnell is a dishonest hack with no concern for good governance.
