Senate Majority Leader McConnell Refuses to Say If Trump Qualified to Be President
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the latest sign of discord between Trump and the Republican Party,
Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mc Connell has refused to say whether Trump
is qualified to be president. Mc Connell was questioned Sunday by ABC's
George Stephanopoulos.

George Stephanopoulos: "Sixty-four percent of Americans say they don't
think that Donald Trump is qualified to be president. Do you believe
he's qualified? And how do you convince all those voters who think he
isn't?"

Sen. Mitch Mc Connell: "Well, look, 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."
