“It’s a good, if odd reminder, to the Democrats running for president that the goal of this whole thing is to beat Trump, but he didn’t come up a whole lot at the debate,” Cupp said Saturday on S.E. Cupp Unfiltered. “According to FiveThirtyEight, Trump was mentioned a total of 35 times during Thursday’s debate–that’s down from 61 and 72 times on the second debate’s two nights.”

“Yes, this is a Democratic primary, but don’t forget it’s followed by a general election,” she said. “What might be working now to get Twitter likes and make headlines might also make it impossible to win in the general.”
