“I don't necessarily want to take a shot at Trump, but Trump is not that man”

“He does not have the capacity to win the kind of transformative election. He may have been, historically, a necessary figure, and I give him all credit for bringing to a screeching halt the progressive march that occurred under the Obama administration and threatened the country going forward with Hillary Clinton,” said Barr.

Barr added that a lot of Trump’s traits allowed him to do that, “including his willingness to fight. Maybe his constant pugnacity and over-the-top approach was necessary to break through the media.”

“However, if you believe in the MAGA agenda, we’ve already punched the other guy in the nose. Now, how do we actually go about methodically restoring the United States?” Barr said. The first thing Republicans need to do, added Barr, is win a decisive, broad victory. “And you don’t do that by starting a civil war in the party and calling everyone who doesn’t believe that the election was stolen a RINO.”
