LESTER HOLT (HOST): A day after his blistering speech attacking Hillary Clinton's honesty, Donald Trump sat down with NBC News today where he continued to press that attack in our conversation in his New York apartment. The presumptive Republican nominee also responded to our reporting last night that found some of his claims about Clinton in that speech are inaccurate or unsupported.
HOLT: You delivered a speech yesterday, you went hard after Hillary Clinton. She says your speech was full of conspiracy theories and that you attacked her because you had no answers on substance. What is your reaction?

Congrats to NBC for giving Holt the go-ahead to try to get Trump to talk about reality and answer for his wholesale peddling of nothing but lies. I guess since so many Republicans find him unacceptable NBC felt they could actually do a real interview of Trump and not get into too much trouble with the corporate owners and the RW harrassment mob.

Ah come on, that was a soft interview. Why no challenge on the morality of what Trump proposes ?

and then proverbially vomited all over himself.

Wouldn't answer questions, admitted that he didn't know stuff. If he keeps this up, his base will lose interest.

(6,436 posts)8. I hope more tv "journalists" do what Holt did. Ask him: "What is the basis of that charge?"
But they also need to ask him for details about what he proposes to do if he became ... you know in 'that' position (I find it hard to say it, in connection with this A-hole). They should ask him to detail how he will enact his proposed policies.

(30,058 posts)4. Trump can not tell the truth, if he did then there is not much for him to
Talk about. RW talking points he probably gets from Rush and Sean.
