Chuck Todd tells Politico that after several appearances as a candidate on Meet the Press, Donald Trump would lean back in his chair and request that the control room replay his appearance on a monitor without sound.
Said Todd: “He wants to see what it all looked like. He will watch the whole thing on mute.”
He added: “He’s a very visual guy. He thinks this way, and look, it’s an important insight in just understanding him. The visual stuff is very real beyond just himself.”
“Kristian Denny Todd, the Democratic strategist and wife of Meet The Press moderator Chuck Todd, is working with former Sen. Jim Webb as he considers a 2016 presidential bid,” Politico reports.
“Todd previously served as the communications director for Webb’s 2006 Senate campaign in Virginia. She is not currently being paid by Webb’s office, according to spending reports for Webb’s political action committee.”
“He’s just sad.”
