Stein: Trump Wouldn’t Be at 35 Percent If He Hadn’t Created the Wiretap Controversy

EXCERPT:

STEIN: “First of all, I like the idea of putting 'ism' at the end of everything, so here is some Steinism for you. I think all this is right and all this is related to why Trump is polling at 35 percent. He’s doing policies, he's advocating policies like a health care bill that virtually no one wants. When you lean into a policy that polls that poorly, naturally it will drag you down, too. I think what we are not really emphasizing enough is that Trump is responsible for this. Trump is responsible for this. He embraced an agenda that wasn’t what he ran on to the disappointment of some people and then he sends out bizarre tweets all the time that create this controversy that constantly surrounds him. I don’t think he would be polling at 35 percent if he hadn’t stirred up a controversy about wiretapping Trump Tower, if he wasn’t constantly badgering the media, even he wasn’t calling Chuck Schumer the head clown. All these things are cumulative and all of them affect Trump. No one thinks he’s acting presidential and henceforth you have 35 percent approval rating. That’s some Steinism for you.”
