New poll: Espy, Hyde-Smith in dead heat, McDaniel within striking distance in Senate race

"And he had all of his generals, they looked great, they were the top of their class at West Point. They were the greatest people. There’s only one problem — they didn’t know how the hell to win. They didn’t know how to fight. They didn’t know how," he continued.
