This hands down the biggest reason why the Democrats lost this race.  I'm 99.99% certain that if Madrid had given an actual answer instead of taking the world's longest pause and then stuttering out talking points she would have won.  Wilson completely nailed her.  If they run Madrid for Senate they are only inviting this kind of thing to happen again.

Don't be ridiculous, Jeanine Pirro had a much longer pause.
