Harlow, to her great credit, repeatedly noted that he was skirting the questions and not talking about his own proposals. “I don’t know what the number is,” he said twice as Harlow sought even just a “ballpark” figure. Asked what his illegal immigration plan was, Schultz attacked Democrats for wanting to abolish ICE and Republicans for separating families at the border, but he committed only to a path to citizenship. On health care, Schultz attacked Republicans for going after Obamacare and Democrats for wanting Medicare-for-all, but all he would propose is more competition, easy access to care and cheaper prescription drugs. But there’s a difference between skirting really tough and divisive issues and basically having no guiding principle or message.
