59. The point is that, at the time they wrote this, Trump hadn't made a statement

He's quick to tweet about any and everything. You hear that kind of news and you stop everything to be one of the first to say something. When I was on Twitter last night, I saw four statements in a row from Obama, Hillary, Bill and Ana Navarro. I went to see if Trump had said anything yet and he hadn't. So, we don't need to know that you oppose Trump, but we also don't need a lecture about something that hadn't happened yet. People aren't fortune tellers.
