Trump's campaign head doesn't really know how Trump would help veterans

Things got heated between Michael Cohen, the executive vice president of the Trump campaign, and Chris Cuomo, the host of CNN's New Day, when Cohen failed to adequately answer any questions about Trump's policies. While discussing comments exchanged between Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and the real estate mogul, Cohen floundered for answers about what exactly Trump would do for veterans.

Cuomo challenged Cohen, saying, "The question becomes, what is he going to do for [veterans] other than say, 'I'm pissed off and nobody's good for them.' He doesn't have the plan for what he would do." Mediaite has the transcript of what follows:

He'll find the best people out there, he will turn around and figure out what is necessary in order to fix it. That's what private enterprise does. Private enterprise does things much better than government. They just do."
