In a recent interview with Bloomberg Politics, Jeff Daniels, who played ACN anchor Will McAvoy on Aaron Sorkin’s “The Newsroom,” was asked about the presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton—his response took many people down memory lane.
When hosts Mark Halperin and John Heilemann asked Daniels, “What makes Trump the best-case scenario for Hillary Clinton?” he answered them by reprising his famous monologue at the opening scene from The Newsroom.

“He’s not the best-case scenario, John, that’s my answer. Donald Trump is a fact-bending loose cannon who alienates mainstream voters with everything he says. But he gets constant media attention for free. There won’t be a day from now until November when Trump isn’t on every TV channel,” Daniels said.
