On Donald Trump’s outspoken comments about former Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado’s weight:
EB: Let’s update that. This is breaking news and I don’t know if you’ve seen it brother. He did double down on that and that did come back. Of course Hillary made a big deal about how she’s now a US citizen and, “You can bet she’s going to vote!” Well, as of this morning it’s been reported she was a porn star married to a drug dealer who was associated with a drug related murder. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

On whether or not Donald Trump should bring up Bill Clinton’s marital indiscretions in the next Presidential debate against Hillary Clinton:
EB: I think it’s an absolutely good play. I think it’s a necessary play. Hillary Clinton’s whole “angle” if you will. I want to keep this in a wrestling context. Her whole “angle” is to attach Donald Trump and his relationship and the way he treats women. Well, come on, you can stick your head in your liberal bucket of ice as long as you want to but you can’t deny the history of Bill Clinton. Not just Bill Clinton, forget about that, he did what he did. The important part here is what she did. How she attacked those women. How she undermined them. How she discredited them. How she attacked them in the media and used her power to degrade them in order to minimize their impact on her husband’s Presidency. I do think it’s a very valid point and I was disappointed that he didn’t bring it up Monday night.
