The Republican Ticket: Trump and Pence On 60 Minutes

[heresAthingdotcom]

Source: CBS 60 Minutes

Lesley Stahl: But we did go to war, if you remember. We went to Iraq.

Donald Trump: Yeah, you went to Iraq, but that was handled so badly. And that was a war-- by the way, that was a war that we shouldn't have entered because Iraq did not knock down--excuse me

Lesley Stahl: Your running mate--

Donald Trump: Iraq did not--

Lesley Stahl: --voted for it.

Donald Trump: I don't care.

Lesley Stahl: What do you mean you don't care that he voted for?

Donald Trump: It's a long time ago. And he voted that way and they were also misled. A lot of information was given to people.

Lesley Stahl: But you've harped on this.

Donald Trump: But I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning.

Lesley Stahl: Yeah, but you've used that vote of Hillary's that was the same as Governor Pence as the example of her bad judgment.

Donald Trump: Many people have, and frankly, I'm one of the few that was right on Iraq.

Lesley Stahl: Yeah, but what about he--

Donald Trump: He's entitled to make a mistake every once in a while.

Lesley Stahl: But she's not? OK, come on--

Donald Trump: But she's not--

Lesley Stahl: She's not?

Donald Trump: No. She's not.

Lesley Stahl: Got it.

1. Did she really "get it" ?

[63splitwindow]

8. She obviously got that she exposed his BS for the crapola it is...

the question is did Don the Con "get it" that his duplicitous mouth porn had just been so easily demonstrated?

[JoeOtterbein]

14. Yes, but does she need to see a gold,,,

...coke spoon ?

[63splitwindow]

16. Are you aware of any proof he is a cocaine addict...

or is that just your interpretation of his obnoxious personality?

If not, to claim such only weakens the multitude of legitimate complaints about him.

[JoeOtterbein]

20. or it is because I have seen it before ?

[JoeOtterbein]

21. he can't even make it through an interview

without snorting up every little bit before it dissolves

[63splitwindow]

23. You are saying you saw (or have seen) him snort cocaine during interview? nt

[JoeOtterbein]

25. No, I'm saying it is obvious to anyone who knows the signs of drug abuse

if he did not have the money, fame and lawyers he would have been spotted long ago. Just listen to the snorts !

[bravenak]

41. Hey!!

It might be meth.

[JoeOtterbein]

22. if I'm wrong, so sue me, if I'm right...

it needs to be known. For the sake of our country.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. You are speculating without a shred of fact. It's LESS than helpful. "So sue me" is Trump's line.nt

[JoeOtterbein]

27. So what is wrong with using a line that is so well accepted ? Righteousness ? Really ???

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. Liberals, progressive, and Democrats are much more reality based than Republicans, Ts, or cons.

That's one thing that is wrong with just making up stuff.

[JoeOtterbein]

37. Or just a lazy excuse to not notice and comment on the obvious ?

If you let him drive after seeing him talk like that, you would be expected as a trained bartender to take away his keys.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. You have no facts. The fact is that Trump is habitually sleep deprived

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/02/donald-trump-s-4-hour-sleep-habit-could-explain-his-personality.html

[JoeOtterbein]

28. No, you have No proof of that. Sleeplessness does not make you snort up the last bit on TV !

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Read the link. It has facts on the issue. You have nothing.

Trump doesn't even drink alcohol.

[JoeOtterbein]

33. HAH ! And everyone believes TRUMP !!! ???? HUH ?

[JoeOtterbein]

35. Also, who needs booze when you can get the best money can buy ?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

36. Anybody see that "snorting"? I'm not watching a long interview to look for that.

I read transcripts for what the people say.

Is Mr. Otterbein "blowing smoke", figuratively, or is the anything to what he alleges he saw?

[JoeOtterbein]

38. Just watch him closely. Like a cop would check out any driver. Just take a moment for our sake

[JoeOtterbein]

32. Also, sleeplessness is another obvious symptom of coke abuse

[TeamPooka]

2. Hello new campaign spot. Let every woman in the US hear the misogyny. nt

[Chemisse]

7. I doubt it was because she is a woman.

It's more likely he thinks that things are okay for him and his, just because he is special and privileged and deserving.

But it would be interesting to hear how he can justify saying it's okay for Pence, but not for Hillary.

[63splitwindow]

10. Not to mention he "believes" virtually nothing.

He simply got caught in an inconsistency of positions and had no explanation. His handlers will come up with an explanation shortly.

[Chemisse]

15. Exactly. The kids will think of something. n/t

[TeamPooka]

11. It's called sexism. nt

[Chemisse]

18. There is no doubt he is VERY sexist.

But this has nothing to do with sexism, and everything to do with how his brainless bashing of others doesn't follow a principled logic.

He doesn't give two shits who voted for the Iraq war. It's just a point to be made against Hillary in the campaign. He won't criticize Pence over it, because he really doesn't care. That's not sexism; he would do the same to any opponent. Remember, he is a freaking asshole who cares only about himself!

If you save the sexism accusations for those occasions when they actually apply, they will be far more potent.

[BlueMTexpat]

43. LOL - when even some Dems give people like Kerry and Edwards

among others a pass, but never Hillary?

One of these is different from the others and the only way in which she is different is that she IS a she.

[Chemisse]

44. What's this have to do with the Iraq war vote?

There are plenty of examples of sexism against Hillary.

It's silly, and counterproductive to label this sexism when Trump would (and has) acted this way with ALL his opponents thus far. He is sexist, but this particular action is just Trump being caught in his bluster. He doesn't care who voted for the Iraq war; it's just something to jab at Hillary with.

Our voices are trivialized by knee-jerk cries of sexism. We need to be taken seriously when we point out actual examples of sexism - and there are many!

[JoeOtterbein]

3. I mean did she notice?

He was all coked up and snorting again?

[George II]

34. You've said that about a half dozen times in this discussion. I know it's Trump, but that....

...is a pretty irresponsible thing to say without anything concrete to back it up.

[Chemisse]

4. Gotcha

Just like he is allowed to be a crook and a liar,

But she's not.

[Shrike47]

5. The walk-back will be interesting.

[Chemisse]

9. I'm sure there will be some 'confusion.'

And he will explain what he meant to say, which will be some hunk of shit rationale for why it was okay for Pence and not Clinton to vote for the war.

[Beaverhausen]

6. Trump was not against the war until 2004

Why didn't she call him out in that too?

[truthisfreedom]

12. I realize it's not important because after all, it's trump, but...

shouldn't she have said, "Well, Mr Trump, this is interesting. I've never given anyone in your position an opportunity to walk back from a position of pure hypocrisy and have them take a pass, and an absolute pass at that. Do you see pure hypocrisy as a position of strength?"

[Metric System]

13. Why did Stahl allow him to lie about opposition to the Iraq war?

[cstanleytech]

17. Maybe due to a limited time to conduct the interview and rather than waste time on

something alot of people are sure to question Trump on Stahl decided to press on? That's just a guess though.

[63splitwindow]

19. I wonder what the full interview looks like.

Surely most of the actual interview ended up edited out.

[JBoy]

40. I'd argue it was more important to expose his hypocrisy vis Clinton/Pence than

to get bogged down in arguing his initial position on the war.

[Justice]

29. It's like it never occurred to him that comparison

Would be made.

[63splitwindow]

39. He is in for the rudest of surprises. At one point he said she was "grilling " him...

He has no idea how he is going to be grilled during this campaign. He HONESTLY believes he is the smartest person in the room.

[mrmpa]

42. Did you notice also............

that when Pence was asked a question, Trump would answer?

[lark]

45. This double std. has always existed between men and women. It's part of the Judeo Christian culture

It's also always been wrong.
