President Trump was so busy renaming senators and comparing congressmen to cows on Thursday night that he wasn't able to comment on the Democratic debate, but several staffers came forward to share their opinions on the event.
An extremely confident Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign's communications director, told ABC News it was an "unimpressive roster of Dems up there tonight. Nothing new. President Trump will dominate any of them." As for Kayleigh McEnany, the campaign's national press secretary, her word of the day was "radical," as she claimed Democrats will "raise taxes to pay for their radical agenda" and declared that "President Trump would crush any one of these radical 'top tier' Dems!"
