  1. Letting him off without giving a single answer to your questions – not one – is truly pathetic. I normally like your interviews but this one was a train wreck.

    1. CNN and MSNBC are both terrible news networks. Corporate shills reporting only what they are told to report.

    2. @Joboygbp Edwards I don’t watch fox or any other racist nonsense news and I’m a better person for it. Stick to what you know, vile white supremacist news. I’m sure you’re going to get all the real facts you need.

    1. Yeah, but that was CENTURIES ago. We’ve advanced a lot since then. Today, people go looking for someone to make them believe absurdities, in order to justify the atrocities they’re already eager to commit.

    2. @Stephen Kizlik the right wing noise machine has been filling people’s head with absurdities for a ling time, and now they want to reap,in the atrocities

    1. @Gearóid T such a tired cliche. Right wing rhetoric is boring now. Back to the script for another less stale phrase?

    2. Plandemic is more like it. Have you heard the latest from Fauci and the “Science?” They were wrong about so much.

    3. @Joboygbp Edwards o this is SO outdated. If you could have some better why o why did you not give them the benefit of your experience? Otherwise you sound like a cynic, trying to feel clever by criticising experts who did the best with what they knew. The paranoid misinformation minions have moved on to new conspiracy theories. You’re out of step

    4. @Joboygbp Edwards aren’t you the comedian. So funny given what you don’t know. Keep up the lazy ad hominems. You might do yourself some damage if you suddenly try active critical thinking. Now in case you are paid per reply- bye.

  2. He’s not answering questions he’s given excuse after excuse because he doesn’t want to tell the truth

    1. Mo has not yet decided whether to run for president 👿😷🤧🤮

    2. How could anyone in their right mind vote for this person? More police is not the answer to reduce murders by shooting. Gun ownership should be more difficult to obtain them. If it was, there would not have been twelve shootings in Colorado last weekend!

    1. HMO is not the first to offer a plan to help patients with chronic 🤒😈💩

  3. He’s saying that he’s going to do things he and everyone else knows he’ll never be able to get done. His own Party blocks it every time

    1. @David Cat This troll posted that same copy/paste comment in several replies. They came in here, solely to post how everyone is obsessed with Trump, with absolutely no other ambition. Ironic.

    2. The next Democrat President should win! solely?, by the electoral college. Just like? recent Republican presidents do!? How would that be for rigging elections!?

    3. @Gearóid T Trump is not living rent free, he is not even president and he is costing this country tens of millions of dollars every month.

  4. This guy spins like crazy Lol!!! I’m surprised he didn’t fall to the ground after being so dizzy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    1. But I have a question 🙋‍♀️ do we know how 🤮🤑☠️😺

  5. “Yeah, well, all I know is I’m not going to admit that my party is a bunch of obstructionist horse’s asses. Checked his stand on the issues. His truth/lie ration is better than a lot of Republicans, but he is still a Republican. He blows a lot about genuinely good things to do, but then gets a little dodgy about funding. Cut taxes, lower the debt, and build up infrastructure, spend more on police and border security — all at the same time.

  6. Here’s my political agenda if I was running.

    Strong parental rights
    Strong border security
    A strong robust economy

    That’s it. In those three are summed up what people really care about. You can’t argue against them without looking like a subversive.

    1. hang on..since when do Republicans ever answer questions directly..even when pressed to? So blaming Tapper holds no merit

    2. @Hank Gutter  Hey lame brain. No one mentioned anything about a republican. Blaming Tappa, and every interviewing journalist that doesn’t make the interviewee answer a question, Republican or Democrat, sucks. End of discussion.

  7. “GOP Senate candidate doubles down on distancing from Trump” so let’s “Convince It Forward” and Laus DEO

  8. Is so sad how the ethics in a person can be so easily overridden by selfish interest. This candidate could not “lie” straight in bed.

  9. “Thanks for having me on, Jack.” “Jack” not “Jake” – as in Jake Tapper. Well, I think this guy was sure flustered by that direct question as to why kids are able to buy automatic weapons.
