David Plouffe: Trump Is the ‘Heaviest’ Presidential Candidate Since Taft

 

plouffeDavid Plouffe, President Obama‘s former campaign manager, invoked Donald Trump‘s weight in talking about the health questions both candidates need to ask today.

Plouffe told Chuck Todd that the Hillary Clinton campaign should have handled things better, but also said that it’s doubtful any voter would change their minds based on medical records.

He did take a shot at Trump’s “Dr. Feelgood” and said of The Donald, “He’s 70, okay? He’s the heaviest president we’ve had––candidate since William Taft.”

Todd asked him if that’s really a big issue for Trump.

Watch how Plouffe answered above, via MSNBC.
