Linda McMahon About Presidential Election: “I Want the Best Candidate to Be Elected”

Linda McMahon is quite familiar with both pro wrestling and politics. She’s been a part of WWE for decades and despite two failed attempts to become a US Senator in Connecticut.

Recently, Linda joined Katie Couric for Yahoo Global News and discussed the Hulk Hogan situation, Wrestlemania this Sunday, and the current race for the next president of the United States.

Any comments on Donald Trump’s disparaging comments towards women?

“Those [comments] were just over the top; they were deplorable, objectionable absolutely. He’s not helping, certainly, to put women in the best light. Maybe he regrets them, maybe he doesn’t. I realize he punches hard when he punches back, but that’s just over the top. I wish that no candidate would make those comments.”

Having faith in Trump’s ability to run the country if he wins:

“He is the frontrunner, and I think he surprised a lot of people. He really is a vessel of this angst and unrest in this country. He said it straight out, didn’t worry about being politically correct. … I think that really is a seed of a great deal of his popularity. I think Donald has proven himself in a lot of areas to be an astute businessman. … I think that he will hire good people for advice.”

WWE working with Trump in the past:

“He was such a great partner. He was a wonderful promoter. He really greased the wheels and made things work very easy. He’s very loyal; he’s a patriot. … [He] really did exactly what he said he was going to do.”

What does she think about Hillary Clinton?

“I think it’s high time that we had a woman president. But I don’t want to elect someone just because she’s a woman; I want the best candidate to be elected. I think that any woman who is elected to the highest office in the land would clearly have positive role model effects for other young women.”
