Bornstein is the quirky man who made headlines last December when he claimed Mr Trump would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”. Her primetime Thursday night introduction of her father was well-received – particularly as she revealed a softer side of the billionaire businessman that no other speaker or surrogate had been able to show before.
He also reportedly said he does not exercise, but is so good at golf that he could play professionally. Trump recently took part in the filming of an episode of The Dr. Oz Show where he planned on discussing his health with the TV doctor.
“Those of us who have the opportunity to vie for national office, I think we owe an obligation to share that kind of personal information with the public”, said Pence. “They are taking questions from the audience as I understand”.

Trump taped the show Wednesday in NY.

“Essentially you’re delegitimizing their attack by simply muddying the water, and saying, ‘We’re all guilty, now what?'” said Martin.
