As many of us know Trump has been hammering Clinton for having poor judgement when it comes to making choices concerning our national defense or foreign interventions.Awkward exchange here - as Trump lambasts Iraq War in front of Pence.

However if his own running mate made the same call back in 2002, then how does he continue going after Hillary on her choice.
Besides, as Vox points out, there really is no evidence that Trump was against the Iraq war either:
But Trump has yet to provide evidence that he did, in fact, oppose the Iraq War before it started. Politifact looked into Trump’s claim and rated it "false." "We could only find one example of Trump commenting on the Iraq War before the invasion where he seemed apprehensive but not vehemently opposed to the operation," Politifact reported. "In another interview, Trump said he supported the invasion."
Donald Trump is on the big stage now, and if he thinks that he will not get called on his bullshit, then perhaps he should go back and study those interviews with Sarah Palin back in 2008.
I'm sure his family and his employees will set the record straight about the great and wonderful "good man" Trump. After all, they have million$ of reasons to sing his praises LOL

Donald Trump’s Ghostwriter Tells All
ReplyDelete“The Art of the Deal” made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth—and regrets it.

"PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG"! Got THAT Right.
DeleteLipstick on an anus
DeleteThis may not be popular but if I was a republican delegate and received threatening phone calls, including death threats, I would buy a gun. And, I would become good at using it. And then, I would wait for the coward to step across my house threshold.
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting Hillary Clinton should do the same, after she was threatened with execution last week?
DeleteSome of these delegates are not spring chickens and while I don't agree with their ideas, they should not have their families or themselves face death threats. I would not condone it for the democrats either.
DeleteTrump is vile and mentally ill. What he could do to the US and world makes Cheney look like a puppy.
Hillary has body guards as does trump. I suspect trump and Hillary wear bullet proof vests under their clothing.
DeleteIf the delegates are getting death threats, that is probable Eric or Donnie Jr. making the calls.
DeleteI couldn't believe how Trump laughed on 60 Minutes about how Pence was entitled to a mistake, and he even leaned over toward Pence to bump him in a ribbing way. It was disgusting.

It ain't gonna happen for those Trumpeters who should be ashamed of themselves. One repentant ghostwriter (Tony Schwartz) does not an army of Whitewalkers make.
" it's patently obvious that the candidate himself knows nothing.
Delete"As far as NATO goes, Trump's position seems to be that he'll bully and blackmail them into more action.
Hum wonder if that has anything to do with SEX, Bullying and Money$$$?"
Trump even says that he'll tell Mexico, "Make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year." That's a fucking real quote."
" press conference to introduce Pence, which was really just about watching Trump suck his own dick for 28 minutes before blowing his load all over the Indiana governor and walking off stage to rinse out his mouth, it's not just that Trump is uniquely unqualified to be president. It's that he's uniquely unqualified to speak in public. It's beyond a joke now." "The media should treat any Trump voters and on-air supporters like they would a child molester trying to justify why he fucks little boys."AND GIRLS! " "Well, yes, you believe that anally raping pre-adolescents is morally appalling, but let's get some perspective on it from Chester over here. Chester is a long-time pedophile and he thinks butt sex with boys is great. Chester, what do you think?""You don't ask a goatfucker what he thinks about tax policy while he's fucking a goat."

ReplyDeleteIs anyone else scared?
I just hope President Obama does not provide Trump information about our government (which is supposedly normally done in a political race for the presidency) that would be harmful to the US if it were released.
DeleteWe all know that Trump cannot keep his mouth shut, shoots constantly from the hip and says deplorable stuff - especially calling President Obama stupid!
Trump should look in the mirror - he is the inept one! President Obama has no baggage and Trump is loaded with it!
Vote for Hillary Clinton as she is sane, experienced and knowledgeable. I like and respect her - in spite of all the constant crap the Republicans and media put out about her (CNN and MSNBC especially).

Good article on the real story of Trump's butt being saved by bankers:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.newsweek.com/bankers-dispute-trump-account-financial-comeback-481210
"Three of the participants say Trump didn't acknowledge he had a problem until his lenders reviewed his books, realized he was on the brink of collapse, and summoned him for debt restructuring talks.""At the beginning of 1990 he owed a combined $4 billion to more than 70 banks, with $800 million personally guaranteed by his own assets, according to Alan Pomerantz, a lawyer whose team led negotiations between Trump and 72 banks to restructure Trump's loans.""Pomerantz said some of the banks became aware of the magnitude of Trump's financial problems when, on a single day, he drew down every cent of a $100 million line of credit one of the banks, Banker's Trust, which was purchased by Deutsche Bank in 1999, had given him to meet his obligations."(Reuters was unable to independently confirm this.)
Delete“There was a period during these negotiations when he was still spending money like a drunken SAILOR,” Calling Barstool as "no drink tiny dick teetotaler dRumpf cons the cons.
In his book, Trump says he told representatives of the 72 banks he would declare bankruptcy and "tie you guys up for years" in the proceedings unless they STEAKED(pun) him $65 million to keep his businesses running until the real estate market recovered."
The banks should take back the assets and freeze his personal accounts here and overseas. But first, take back properties, kick out his stuff on the front lawn, and tear down the Trump signs.

It all started with Paul Manafort, Trump's "campaign manager", accusing Ohio's Republican Governor and previous 2016 Republican primary candidate John Kasich of refusing to endorse Trump because he wants to be the President.
ReplyDelete...Mr. Weaver replied in a way that will make you weep with gratitude for a sign of sanity in the Republican Party. In an email to the Times, Weaver wrote that Manafort’s problem is that he’s spent so much time on the lam with thugs and autocrats that he doesn’t recognize integrity. This is followed by a perfectly dished out dig about the disastrous VP roll out.
Oh yes.
In full:
“Manafort’s problem, after all those years on the lam with thugs and autocrats, is that he can’t recognize principle and integrity. I do congratulate him though on a great pivot at the start of the convention after such a successful vice-presidential launch. He has brought great professionalism, direct from Kiev, to Trump world.”

DeleteTrump's excuse for Pence and condemnation of Hillary for the same Iraq vote was telling. Still, there was much about the interview that made it too frustrating for me to watch.
ReplyDeleteAfter 9/11/01, we attacked al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. We didn't invade Iraq until 2003. Stahl was wrong to say we went to war with Iraq. And Trump repeated her misinformation with a 'you [instead of we] went to Iraq'.
Two times, Trump bragged about being against the war in Iraq. Both times, Stahl said 'yeah' and didn't bother to point out that available documentation shows he supported the Iraq invasion.
Trump is angry at my delegation for denying neat. Trump will not stand for defiance in his party.

DeleteYou're mistaken if you think this will make any difference. His hypocrisy is blatant right in the transcript--Pence is entitled to make mistakes, HRC is not. This undeniable cognitive dissonance will have NO effect on his supporters.
