WATCH: Democrat defends kind words about Trump

Democratic Rep. André Carson says his staff scolds him for being “too complimentary” about Donald Trump.

The Indiana lawmaker, who earlier this week said Trump is “crying like a baby” about his falling poll numbers, said he sees a positive side to the GOP nominee even if he doesn’t want him to become president.

{mosads}Caron said he has met the real estate mogul and “was a big fan of his business acumen, and when I met him, I told him so. We had a great conversation.”

But the Democrat added that he is concerned “about how much of” Trump’s public persona is part of his private persona.
