I would give him a B for his efforts. Not even a B+.
He let the media off the hook.
He didn’t accuse THEM of being part of the CONCOCTED STORY and didn’t accuse THEM of being so much putty in the hands of the demonrats.
Just my opinion. But what I think is, in this case a good solid defense (which he put on) is not enough. He had to go more on the offence. And he didn’t.
He got an A. He didn’t add kindle to the media fire, he didn’t fall for the media traps, and he was honest and forthright in what was a clear, powerful response.
