Speaking to reporters in Manchester, New Hampshire, on the eve of the “nation's first” primary, an infuriated Phillips asked the media for understanding. why Americans support Donald Trump.
“I've said this 18,000 times. I'm doing this just to defeat Donald Trump. So far, there doesn't seem to be anyone else in the Democratic Party who doesn't want to do that but me. He said, “Because Joe Biden can't do it.My proposal is because the data says he can't do it.''
“No one cares in this country right now. In fact, most of the people in this country are going to Trump's rallies right now because he listens to them. No one cares. I didn’t ask about this,” Phillips continued. “I'm just frustrated.”
The Minnesota Democrat then preached a journalistic lesson: To arrive at true observations and conclusions, you must first ask insightful questions.
“You guys are doing your job, but you're not asking the questions that Americans are asking,” he told reporters.
Phillips spoke to voters who attended Trump's rally in New Hampshire on Sunday the day before his remarks, so he understands why voters are interested in Trump.
he later told his experience He said this in an interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper..
“People are really scared,” Phillips explained. “I saw a Trump rally outside my house last night. I walked up to a line of people a mile long and just said, 'Hello.'” I go to a Trump rally. I met 50 people and they were friendly, hospitable, thoughtful people, some of whom said they voted for Barack Obama, others who said they were Bernie Sanders supporters. About half of them had never been to a Trump event before.
“So for everyone watching right now, Donald Trump has a huge mandate to win, and Joe Biden is going to do badly,” Phillips warned. “I just hope the Democrats wake up and at least ensure that we do our best, because right now I’m worried that we’re being diluted into a nightmare.”
