I disagree. Based on the evidence I have, I think it is more likely that he actually did endorse him, and ABC did not print the actual quote, but tried to water it down with a qualifying statement about “all the candidates.” Still we don’t really know, do we, until the transcript is found.

" Still we don’t really know, do we, until the transcript is found."

That was actually my point in my original post of which some people have lauded my reading the article. And some people have attacked me. You may be right and he did say he supported him. It's just that I distrust ABC news in general and need to see sufficient evidence before I believe one of their breaking stories.

This article also points out how manipulative the news media can be. They make a declarative statement in the beginning of the article without ever actually backing it up with proof contained within the article. Even many on here, the supposedly astute politicos got snookered by the headline without demanding further proof before believing it.
