American Bridge 21st Century President Jessica Mackler released the following statement on tonight’s Republican debate:
“Tonight’s sleepy debate made one thing abundantly clear – the Republican Party needs Donald Trump. The Republican field rushed to fill the void left by Trump’s absence by mirroring his extreme positions on issues from immigration to religious tests to taxes rigged against the middle class. Despite their very best efforts to channel The Donald’s policies, the GOP field nearly put the nation to sleep early. In case there was ever any doubt about Trump’s impact, look no further than his dominance in a debate he didn’t even take part in.”
