Ayotte: Trump ‘absolutely’ a role model for kids

[pppolitics]

New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte said Monday that she would “absolutely” point to Donald Trump as a role model for children, despite her ongoing endorsement holdout of the Republican presidential nominee.
The statement by Ayotte came during a televised Senate debate at the New England College and co-sponsored by the Concord Monitor against Gov. Maggie Hassan, the two-term Democrat mounting a competitive bid to unseat her. At the event the first-time Republican senator responded positively when asked if she would tell children to “be like Donald Trump” and describe him as a role model.

Hassan was always going to win, with or without this remark. Safe D.

Can't you just shut up for once when the subject is NH? Jfc, you're like a broken record. It's not that I mind the content. Hassan is going to win this race, fine. But your act is just so tiresome.

Just ignore the troll.

I'm probably being too rude and you definitely don't come across as a mean-spirited poster, but the entire forum is full of your NH stuff to the point where no one can discuss anything related to NH without you showing up to tell us that NH is really, really, really safe D. This has become really tiresome and irritating, and not just for me. Please, please stop doing this.

I hate when politicians make a flub like this, then release a statement basically saying they "misspoke" and what they really meant to say was the exact opposite. Pretty clear cut case of not caring if they tell the truth or not, so long as it helps, or at least doesn't hurt their chances at reelection.

Yep.  This gaffe is about on the level when Scott Brown said that Scalia was his model Supreme Court Justice during the MA-Sen debate in 2012.

Hopefully this fires up the female holdouts in NH!

Toomey: "Trump is not a role model."

[DINGO Joe]

Maybe she thought the question was "Is Donald Trump a good mole model for kids?"  I could see answering in the affirmative in that case.

She is hammering Ayotte on the Trump role model comment. This race is gonna be fun - Ayotte is a strong candidate while Hassan is void of charisma!

He should have said John Roberts who is far the best justice. Anyways trump favorite justice is Clarence Thomas

They should throw the "grab her by then pussy" comment in there.
