Yes, I agree the first statement could be excused to some minor degree on fatigue and so forth, but the defense today is totally without any excuse at all. He must want out of public life. I do not imagine he will either continue his Presidential quest or, even, his Senatorial career.
If and I'm being generous here .. But if he misspoke or whatever excuse he is now claiming
He STILL never apologized to the military for those comments at this presser
INSTEAD .. He was defiant, condescending, arrogant and belligerent
That will NOT fly with the American people and I can't wait to see how the other Dem leaders handle this one
