Senate Majority Leader [crscore]Mitch McConnell[/crscore] says that Donald Trump is “not going to change the Republican Party.”
Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt Show on Tuesday, McConnell said, “I’m comfortable voting for [Trump], because on the big things that I think have the greatest impact on the future of the country. At the top of the list is the Supreme Court, I think he’ll be just fine.” (RELATED: McConnell: If You Don’t Support Trump, You’re Disrespecting The GOP Electorate [VIDEO])
Hewitt asked, “[D]oes the Republican Party have an identity crisis, because Donald Trump said he’s going to change the nature of the party, Senator McConnell? And I don’t know much. If I come around to supporting him, it’ll be because of that Supreme Court, and because he’s going to rebuild the military. But I’m not sure he’s bought into the historical limited government theory. Do you?”
“Well, whether he has or not, he’s not going to change the Republican Party,” McConnell said. “You know, we’ve had nominees before who were not deeply into Republican politics and philosophy. Think of Eisenhower, for example. But Trump is not going to change the institution. He’s not going to change the basic philosophy of the party.”
