The boss joined The Lead with Jake Tapper Friday to discuss the Republican primary and the efforts to stop Donald Trump.
“I’ve made my ‘never Trump’ argument to other Republicans. The strongest counter-argument is, oh, you’re electing Hillary. I don’t think it’s correct. I think the nomination of Donald Trump is what is most likely going to elect Hillary. And I think having a strong, alternative conservative would actually help Republicans down-ballot, and actually maybe in the presidential election, as well.”
He also plugged this piece from Steve Hayes in saying that voters need to think twice about elevating Trump to the Republican nomination.
“It’s not like having someone who’s a little too conservative, or who’s not a great candidate, or he’s rich, or he’s not — people really need to stop and think, do you want Donald Trump to be the national spokesperson through an entire presidential election for the Republican party and the conservative movement? Is that acceptable?”
