On Wednesday, Bloomberg Politics managing editor Mark Halperin praised Donald Trump Jr. for delivering what could only be called the “anchor of the night” speech.
Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough said to Halperin, “You say in the hall, after Don Jr. spoke, even Bush people were saying ‘a star is born.'”
“He’s so new to all this. He got emotional last night. I talked to him about it afterwards, the moment for the family is such a big deal. But his performance skill is quite something,” Halperin said. “He is a conservative. He’s not, quote, unquote, just a son who is there to cheer his dad on. He believes in a conservative movement on a lot of issues.”
“He’s far more conservative than his father,” Scarborough added.
“Well, he doesn’t have a record of being anything but conservative,” Halperin added.
Trump Jr’s “ability to combine an idealogical agenda, conservative agenda with testifying on behalf of his dad, was I thought clearly the anchor of the night along with Chris Christie.”
Bloomberg’s John Heilemann later added that Trump Jr. presented the “basic rock-ribbed Republican policy agenda laid out in the way his father never does.”
