Senator Jon Tester: ``I don't think, even States where Donald Trump won big, that it does you any good running away from Donald Trump. I think you need to go back and punch him in the face.'' That was a quote from Jon Tester. Here is Joe Biden again: ``I said if I were in high school, I would take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.''
