Governor George Pataki Speaks at the CATS Roundtable Radio Show

Interview Highlights

“People talk about the problems in the Republican Party, but I think Democrats have a bigger problem. Hillary Clinton is cratering, the scandals just keep coming. She has grave legal issues that could totally prevent her from continuing her campaign, and the alternative is a self-avowed socialist who has never run anything.”

Can see an “outsider jump into the race” like Vice President Joe Biden, California Gov. Jerry Brown or Secretary of State John Kerry.

“He’s (Donald Trump) just tapped into anger towards Washington, anger towards politicians. I understand the anger, but the solution is not to get behind someone who expresses the anger but does not have the necessary solution. I hope people coalesce around somebody who has a positive vision about how to bring Americans together.”
