EXCERPT:
HOST: “And you mean senators and House members? Or do you mean like when Nancy Pelosi goes on TV — you know, there are two moments when she goes out publicly and when things sort of seemed like they’re dying down, reopens the debate?”
DUNN: “Absolutely.”
HOST: “Key moments, no?”
DUNN: “Key moments. Key moments where people made the decision when it looked like we were reaching a point where we would fight our way through it. I had a lot of Republican friends who were sending me texts during this period saying, ‘Your party is insane.’ They were saying, ‘We’ve never seen anything like this. Our party closes ranks. You know, you fight it through. You have a 24-hour news cycle. He had a bad debate, and you move on.’ They could not believe what was going on here. And then you had this decision that the Democratic Party made to ignore their primary voters and ignore their primary process, and that that is what should happen, and that was a very donor-driven thing. “
