In one exchange during Wednesday's press briefing, ABC News reporter Cecilia Vega asked Sanders if she knew the last time Trump visited a grocery store as part of a line of questioning about Trump's support for toughening voter ID laws.

"I’m not sure. I’m not sure why that matters, either," Sanders said.

... Trump claimed at a Tuesday night rally that grocery stores require shoppers to show identification as part of his argument for implementing stricter voter ID laws ...

Can't remember the last time I had a Mountain Dew. But long ago I had a pretty gf from Tennessee who told me she grew up drinking Sun Drop. She still had her original teeth so it was all good.

A pretty common mistake, really. People often get groceries and liquor mixed up, and you can understand why the people at a Trump rally would get those items confused. Especially people at a Trump rally would confuse liquor with groceries.

He's such a joke - today saying "Well you need ID at Costco...and they sell groceries at costco so nothing I said is wrong..."

Everyone else on the panel was laughing at him and that's the way it usually is when he's on. I don't know how he doesn't see how wrong he always is.
