Mitch McConnell is so enthusiastic about Donald Trump's nomination that he can barely speak.

For the second straight week, the Senate Majority Leader refused to talk about the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee, declining to touch a question about Trump's lackluster fundraising. FEC filings show Trump has about $1.3 million on hand, a sum that's dwarfed by Hillary Clinton's $42 million.


"I don't particularly want to sit here today and critique the presidential campaigns," McConnell said flatly when asked about the glaring disparity.

It's the second straight week McConnell has refused to respond to questions about Trump. Last week he dodged when asked about Trump's insinuations that President Barack Obama might be sympathetic to ISIL.

“I’m not going to be commenting on the presidential candidates today,” he said a week. Previously, McConnell has urged Trump to be a more scripted and more predictable candidate rather than attacking federal judges and talking about banning Muslims from the United States.

At least McConnell isn't alone in his ban on Trump talk: His chief deputy, Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas has begged off Trump talk for a couple weeks now.
