A former deputy communications director for Donald Trump got an unintentional laugh out of several CNN "State of the Union" panel members on Sunday morning after boasting that the former president would come to Tuesday night's debate with Vice President Kamala Harris ready to get into the weeds about their contrasting policies.
Host Dana Bash kicked off the segment by asking CNN contributor Bakari Sellers if he had any advice for the VP before she faces off with Trump, with Sellers bluntly joking, "I don't know if I have any insight, but if they are listening to me or anyone else, I would say you cannot get into a pissing match with Donald Trump because he just brings a more full bladder."
After adding, "I think is going to be a very good night for her, regardless of the spin afterwards, I think people are going to see a clear contrast," former Trump aide Bryan Lanza weighed in by stating: "I think you've seen the polls recently that came out today even the reports that came out last week, she's not the change agent and she's now being viewed as radically liberal."

"That's what Donald Trump's going to talk about," Lanza predicted. "He's going to compare his record as president to Joe Biden's and Harris' record and just show how dangerously liberal these policies have affected everyday families. And you'll probably see the most content heavy with respect to policy that we've ever seen in a debate. I think — ."
"From whom?" Sellers interrupted.
"From Trump," Lanza shot back which led to Sellers laughing out loud as the camera pulled back showing former Trump White House advisor Alyssa Farah Griffin also laughing.
Sellers returned to the moment later, telling the panel, "I kind of laughed when my good friend Bryan talked about the fact that it's going to be policy substantive."
"I mean, direct attacks against who he is, not only the character of the man which we know is lacking, but also where he lacks substantively on policy," he continued. "We just heard this week a response on how are you going to do affordable childcare? That response made absolutely no sense to anyone. It didn't make sense to our children, right? I mean it was just a word salad. He is diminished, he's not the same person. he was even when he debated Hillary Clinton."
