"But I came all the way here from Winsonsin". Repeated helplessly, it came across as weak and whining. It puffed Trump up even more.

Though she pushed back during the interview, that was weak too. She just kept repeating "you have no evidence" and was drowned out by him.

What happened to all the great journalists the U.S. once had, is this the best they've got?
