He used to tell me when I was press secretary, go out there and say it. It doesn’t matter, Stephanie, say it over and over and over again, people will believe it. He knows his base believes in him. He knows he can basically say anything and his base will believe what he’s saying. I think this will help propel him into the general, but I think that independents and center-leaning Republicans are not going to be buying this. They’re much, much smarter than that. I think he’s going to get in trouble with in the general with these kind of lies.”
