McConnell says Biden would be his ‘desert island’ Democratic president

If Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) had to be stranded on a desert island with one living U.S. Democratic president, he says President Biden would be the “easy choice.”

During a Kentucky Chamber of Commerce event in Lexington on Tuesday, McConnell described the incumbent as “a first-rate person” despite their various and vast disagreements on policy.

During the event a reporter asked him, “You’re stranded on a desert island and you can only have one companion. Your choices are Joe Biden, Barack ObamaBill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. Who do you choose?” as reported by NBC News.

The Republican leader first eliminated former President Carter in the hypothetical situation, reportedly saying, “we can rule him out.”

McConnell eliminated Obama next.

When it came down to a final decision between former President Clinton and Biden, NBC News says McConnell reflected on his time serving with Biden in the Senate.

“Biden and I did four bipartisan deals during the Obama administration, I consider him a personal friend,” he said.

“I was the only Republican who went to his son Beau’s funeral, so that would be an easy choice. I think Biden is a first-rate person,” McConnell continued.

  1. This doesn’t say much for McConnell if having known Biden all these years and knowing how he helped Hunter get a job he had no qualifications for and the traitor he & his dad are to this country & monies involved with the Chinese exchanged McConnell needs to leave office-good riddance!

  2. The Turtle’s reasoning in answering this set-up style question leaves much to be desired. He did a great service in getting judges nominated by President Trump approved but he should have taken a pass on answering this question.
