Keyes: Do you think there is any merit, they’re charging that he’s of the corporate 1 percent?THUNE: No. I think that this is somebody, if I’m somebody in this country who is worried about my job or is looking for a job, I want somebody out there who knows how to create jobs. Obviously tonight these are people who are going to protest, that’s fine. That’s a democracy, we welcome that. I thought he handled it well.
There are three possibilities here. One is that Thune didn't listen to the question beyond "do you think there is any merit" and just trotted out whatever talking point he had been given. The second is that he's ignorant.

Thank you for taking the time to comment.
