Burr Behind Unpredictable Trump

May 02, 2016

Donald Trump is on the path to securing the Republican nomination, and Richard Burr couldn’t be happier, contending that Trump is going to do well in places Republican candidates have struggled in the past.

Burr acknowledged that with Trump, “you can’t predict what he’s going to do.” Given that Burr is running on his national security record, perhaps he should give pause to supporting a candidate that has wildly oscillated between praising Putin as someone that he’d, “Get along very well with,” to advocating shooting down Russian planes.

Trump’s forays into foreign policy have been described by other Republicans as “not exactly coherent,” but Richard Burr is more than happy to stand behind the unpredictable front-runner.
