Chuck Todd: Trump should have invited a grieving Benghazi mother to debate instead of Flowers
In a discussion with campaign consultants regarding the gamesmanship of Donald Trump inviting Bill Clintons former mistress to Monday nights debate with Hillary Clinton, Meet The Press host Chuck Todd suggested the GOP nominee should have invited a grieving member from one of the Benghazi families.
Despite the fact that the Trump campaign has since said that Gennifer Flowers will not not be at the debate, host Todd asked Democratic consultant Stephanie Cutter how campaign advisers played head games with their candidates opponents.
Cutter agreed with Clintons choice of Trump-critic and billionaire Mark Cuban, but ripped Trump for his invitation to Flowers, saying the blustery New York businessman was swimming in the sewer.
What Clinton and Trump are doing is trying to throw each other off their game, Cutter remarked. The difference is, Hillary Clinton is doing it with a legitimate businessman and also a celebrity. And, as John Podesta put it earlier on your show, Trump is just jumping right down in the sewer and swimming in it by inviting Gennifer Flowers.

(31,893 posts)I've been on DU since 2001 and I certainly don't recall ever seeing Chuck Todd post here. I may not post very often, but I read DU pretty much every single day - and have done so for nearly all of the 15+ years I've been here.
Are you sure you're not thinking of someone else?

Todd is a douche. That remark solidified it.

(10,115 posts)that Trump should bring a grieving family as an equal is appalling. One is not the other.
