It’s funny how they don’t even hide their true feelings anymore. Mitch McConnell who has been an epic failure as Senate Majority Leader, and will probably cost the Republicans the Senate in the elections come November is “increasingly optimistic” about a contested convention this July in Cleveland.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, in an implicit jab at Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump, said he is “increasingly optimistic” that voting at the Republican National Convention in July will go to a second ballot.
The comments, made over the weekend to WHAS-TV in Louisville, represent a break of sorts for the Kentucky Republican who has sought in public to remain neutral on the race. While McConnell did not openly criticize any candidate, the senator seemed to be rooting for a contested convention – something Trump is battling to avoid, as he tries to lock up the nomination outright before July.
“I’m increasingly optimistic that there actually may be a second ballot,” McConnell told WHAS-TV.
“I want somebody who can win in November and the whole process is about trying to beat Hillary Clinton in November,” he said. “And I think our delegates, if they end up actually having the latitude to make a decision, which would occur on the second and third ballot, are going to be interested in who can win.”
As big as a piece of shit Harry Reid is and was, he at least was able to get the Communist progressive agenda passed in the Senate. McConnell can’t do anything right, and can’t even get Kate’s Law passed.
