BWAHAHA! Yertle the Turtle uses the "P" word.

In an interview with Washington, D.C. bureau reporter Geoff Bennett, McConnell said Trump is not yet a credible presidential candidate.

Sen. Mitch McConnell: "Trump clearly needs to change, in my opinion, to win the general election. What I’ve said to him both publicly and privately: 'You’re a great entertainer. You turn on audiences. You’re good before a crowd. You have a lot of Twitter followers. That worked fine for you in the primaries. But now that you are in the general, people are looking for a level of seriousness that is typically conveyed by having a prepared text and Teleprompter and staying on message.' So my hope is that he is beginning to pivot and become what I would call a more serious and credible candidate for the highest office in the land."

Geoff Bennett: "At the moment, though, I hear you saying he does not meet that threshold of credibility?"

McConnell: "He’s getting closer. Getting closer."

1. Pivot?

That man needs to pirouette in toe shoes.

12. When he pulls his legs in you can spin him on his Pivot Point!!

[libodem]

13. Always spinning

And not just when his lips are moving.

2. I still have no idea why on a progressive forum we insult people's looks. Nt

3. I guess you'd have to ask the other 200 people who have called him that since I've been a member.

Seriously. If in your eyes that means I'm not progressive, I'll just have to get over it...somehow.

[Logical]

4. Childish. But you know that. Nt

6. Don't forget Jon Stewart, John Oliver and Wonkette--and that's just for starters.

So, if you're somehow "unprogressive," you're in good company, because they've all had a field day with the reference.

Who defends Mitch McConnell? The man is the most mendacious and vicious individual in the Senate.

[MADem]

5. Because he looks like a turtle and he acts like one, too.

He's always hiding inside his little shell when the shit hits the fan--he's a poor leader, and it shows.

But, more to the point, if he can handle it, maybe it's not quite the cause celebre that you're making it out to be, and/or you'd best indict Jon Stewart while you're at it, too (WARNING--this source is a rightwing site, talking about a rightwing politician in a favorable way--so please consider the source and understand that use of this reference does NOT--repeat NOT--imply any endorsement of it):

11. To begin with, Republican Threshold of Credibility

has always been pretty low yet the Trumpster's having a problem meeting that. That pretty much sums up the Republican Party ... LOSERS!
