Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has assured
Senate candidates running for reelection that they can run ads against Donald
Trump even if he wins the GOP nomination for president.
According to the
New York Times, senators attending private lunches with the Majority Leader
have been advised to take the position that Donald Trump will lose badly in the
general election and should prepare themselves for a Hillary Clinton
presidency.
Looks like McConnell is conceding the nomination to
Trump, but won’t give him any support in November.
While still hopeful that Mr. Rubio might prevail, Mr.
McConnell has begun preparing senators for the prospect of a Trump nomination,
assuring them that, if it threatened to harm them in the general election, they
could run negative ads about Mr. Trump to create space between him and
Republican senators seeking re-election.
