STEPHANIE RUHLE (MSNBC HOST): If Donald Trump was inarticulate yesterday when he was explaining the child care policy, when he had to answer about the deficit, we can accept that, right? What do I do for a living? I analyze economic policy and the comments politicians make about the economy. He didn't utter a single coherent sentence. Many of the things he said, there weren't even verbs in his sentences. It was Marco Rubio, my daughter Ivanka, child care is child care. And the fact that we're not covering that. Like, let's be clear, day in and day out we're saying, "I need to see every single one of Kamala Harris' policies and I want to see every punctuation and I want to see it listed in fifteen point font."
There's an absolute double standard in the way these two individuals are being covered. Remember how Joe Biden performed at the debate? It was a disaster, everybody here at the table knows it was a disaster, and we talked about it day in and day out. Where is the media talking about what Donald Trump presented? If under that word salad there was policy, bring it on, let's talk about it. I would love to do so. Donald Trump is invited to come on, and let's discuss it, but there isn't a policy to discuss. So anybody who's passing it off is just really saying, "I just want those tax cuts." And for any of those CEOs, especially publicly traded companies, who think the economy's been a disaster over the last four years, that is a whole lot of bologna, because check out the performance of their stock. Check out how they've done personally and it's been extraordinary.
