He didn't like that he lost an aisle.

And his response often, is to simply yell and insult and

engage in profanity.

You know my approach is not to respond in kind.

From the beginning of the campaign, when he and others

have chosen to insult, chosen to go to the gutter,

chosen to go to the mud, I don't respond in kind.

I'm gonna stay focused on the issues.

I'm gonna stay focused on the substance.

Now, part of the reason that Donald engages in insults,

is because he can't discuss the substance.

He can't defend his record.

For example, a vote for Donald Trump,

is a vote for Obamacare.

Donald Trump has said, he wants to expand Obamacare.

For full socialized medicine, so the federal government

is in charge of your MI healthcare.

Now every place on Earth socialized medicine has been tried

the result has been rationing.

Rationing for the elderly, rationing for hip replacements.

Rationing for knee replacements.

Rationing for end of life care.

I think that's wrong.

If you vote for Donald Trump, you're voting for a

Bernie Sanders-style socialized medicine.

If you vote for me, we're going to repeal

every word of Obamacare.

Donald can't defend that substance.

[Reporter] Was it appropriate for him..

So instead, his approach is to engage in a profane insult.

I'm not gonna respond in kind.
