In reply to the discussion: Trump followed his batshit post about women being unhappy without him with a post calling Stephanie Ruhle a dumb bimbo [View all]ShazzieB
(19,291 posts)Stephens was a jerk, and Ruhle handled him brilliantly. My opinion of him may vary some fraction of a nanometer in one direction or another, depending on whether that show was taped before the Dana Bash interview, but not much more than that.
On second thought, I take back that fraction of a nanometer. Bret Stephens works for the NYT, which makes it pelucidly clear that he was speaking out of butthurt over the fact that Kamala has so far declined to sit down for a grilling an interview with him and his Gray Lady colleagues.
He wasn't really concerned about not knowing Kamala's stances on particular issues; he was just bent out of shape about not being given a chance to ask her a bunch of oddly specific "gotcha" questions of his own devising (such as the example he gave).
It's not THAT hard to find out what a candidate's stances on particular issues are, and he damed well knows it. He just feels entitled to grill her in granular detail on topics that go far beyond that, and he was sulking about not being able to (and not honest enough to admit it).
