Quote of the Day
“The debate was a mess for Trump, yes. But these answers are simply toxic. In almost any other circumstance, any one of these answers might drive days of a media crisis for the candidate. Taken together, they are an unmitigated disaster,” Sams wrote, adding, “Trump should have to answer for these positions.”
Sams said Donald Trump should be held accountable for his refusal to answer questions dealing with some of the thorniest issues the president faces at Tuesday’s debate.
