Congressman [crscore]Adam Kinzinger[/crscore] suggests Donald Trump’s plan for the Middle East is “ludicrous.”

Kinzinger, a Jeb Bush supporter, appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and told host George Stephanopoulos, “Look Donald Trump, when he talks about foreign policy he doesn’t go any further than one layer deep. Talking about ceding the Middle East to the Russians is ludicrous. And so when people get to understand beyond what he says on the surface, what he really believes, they’ll see there’s nothing there or it’s not in line with what Republicans believe and our principles.” 

George Stephanopoulos: Congressman Kinzinger, Jeb Bush out this morning saying he has grave doubts about Donald Trump’s finger on a nuclear trigger, Says he’s an actor playing the role for a candidate for president. What do you think of that and why do you think Trump is doing so well and your candidate seems to be stuck in the middle of the pack?

Adam Kinzinger: Well look, Trump is tapping into this outsider mentality and of course Republicans like the idea of somebody fresh coming in. I think at the end of the day, slow and steady wins the race. Jeb Bush is the guy very confident, was a very conservative governor of Florida. And I think he’s correct. Look Donald Trump, when he talks about foreign policy he doesn’t go any further than one layer deep. Talking about ceding the Middle East to the Russians is ludicrous. And so when people get to understand beyond what he says on the surface, what he really believes, they’ll see there’s nothing there or it’s not in line with what Republicans believe and our principles.
