I can’t say that about Sarah. I’m uncomfortable with the whole thing, because from an ideological point, she’s right, and most of us are also against crony capitalism, which has ruined this country.

He needed a symbolic win. I'm willing to swallow a little cronyism to get that win, especially before the guy even moves into the White Tower.
