On no one does the anchor of Donald Trump weigh more heavily than on Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), all tied up in her race with Democrat Maggie Hassan. Lest you feel sorry for Ayotte, look at how she is still weaseling her way around Trump.
The New Hampshire senator was asked Monday about Trump’s readiness to be president following bombings over the weekend in Manhattan and New Jersey. Officials are increasingly saying they appear to be acts of terrorism. […]
Asked specifically about Trump, Ayotte told reporters she’s been “disappointed” with President Obama’s foreign policy. She also said it’s “important to address these threats.”
Asked again about Trump, Ayotte said: “Well I think that whoever’s elected president, we’re going to trust them with all the responsibilities of commander in chief, absolutely.”
They didn't ask you about President Obama, you weasel. They asked you about Trump. Who you are still not denouncing, who you say you won't "support" but you are going to vote for. You might remember Ayotte as the new Joe Lieberman to Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Whenever they pop up to talk about national security, there's Ayotte to bleat along with them, taking her place as the third biggest defense hawk in the Senate.
And she actually says "I think whoever's elected president, we're going to entrust them with all the responsibilities of a commander in chief," and she won't say she doesn't trust Trump, the guy who very well might let Vladimir Putin call our foreign policy shots.
