Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell talks about his childhood battle with polio, the longshot bid that got him elected to the Senate in 1984, and his difficult re-election in 2014.  He discusses what the institution of the Senate means to him, his frustration with the 2013 government shutdown, and the need to put an end to Republicans attacking Republicans.  Plus Senator McConnell discussed his endorsement and concerns about Donald Trump and the advice he gave to the presumptive GOP nominee.
