The Illinois Democrat says that with the Iowa Caucuses two weeks away… he believes even most Republicans couldn’t yet answer that question.
Durbin says in his experience… voters need to wait until early March, after a few primaries and caucuses… to get a true sense of who’s leading.
But the Senator admits surprise with Donald Trump’s high polling numbers:
“He certainly has more staying power than I ever imagined. And I can hardly explain Democratic voters, I can’t explain Republican voters. But to think that half of them are committed to either Trump or Cruz is nothing short of amazing,” Durbin said.
Durbin is endorsing Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.
He made his comments in a visit to the University of Illinois Urbana campus Friday.
