What I would like him to do is NOT ISSUE A STATEMENT IMMEDIATELY SAYING IT’S OVER.
There was absolutely NO PRESSURE at all for him to issue such a statement.
He could have been totally silent on it. Or if asked, he could have said he still was personally against it, but that perhaps in the future there’d be other opportunities.
We just roll over and immediately offer this crap when it’s not necessary.
“There was absolutely NO PRESSURE at all for him to issue such a statement.”
Actually, there is LOTS of pressure, especially in a tight election in a purple state.
He just disarmed the endless media attacks on this issue, by doing this.
