I never claimed anywhere when I started this thread that I was open-minded about Trump.
I hadn't made up my mind about Pence and how the two would interact as a team. That is why I watched. It was informative and gave me info that I didn't possess before.
You could knock me over with a feather if anyone participating in political threads here was truly open-minded/a-blank-slate at this stage of the game. And I definitely don't expect it on any of our threads.

It's not a secret where I stand, but it's hard for me to believe even a Trump supporter can listen to or read the exchange quoted above and not see the hypocrisy.
Yes to Iraq for Hillary? Bad.
Exact same action by my running mate? A long time ago, he's entitled to a mistake, I don't care.
That's not even getting into whether Trump ever actually opposed going to Iraq as he now boasts.

This is how I heard the interview: Leslie Stahl's questions to Pence - "Please criticize Donald Trump. Please criticize Donald Trump. Please criticize Donald Trump." Followed by "Trump, you criticize Hillary and won't criticize Pence?  " I'm sure Hillary's going to get the same treatment when she announces her VP.  |

Barbara Res has also come out to say she would not support Mr. Trump for President because of his views on immigration, healthcare, minimum wage, etc. She has said that these issues strongly affect mostly poor women who are head of households. My opinion is that he has no time for women who are poor and uneducated because they are of no use to him. Educated, sophisticated women in his world are good for his bottom line. I found where I had gotten my information. A quote from Donald from his book The Art Of the Comeback: “My big mistake with Ivana was taking her out of the role of wife and allowing her to run one of my casinos in Atlantic City, then the Plaza Hotel. The problem was, work was all she wanted to talk about. When I got home at night, rather than talking about the softer subjects of life, she wanted to tell me how well the Plaza was doing, or what a great day the casino had. I really appreciated all her efforts, but it was just too much. . . I will never again give a wife responsibility within my business. Ivana worked very hard, and I appreciated the effort, but I soon began to realize that I was married to a businessperson rather than a wife.” (“Trump: The Art of the Comeback”) Is it a bad thing to want your spouse to be able to talk about things other than work after work? Shrug. My husband and I had an agreement before we retired to leave work at work and enjoy our relationship, marriage, family and friends once we got home from work. I can find fault with Trump for a lot of things but that's not one of them. Maybe she needed recognition for something other than her boobs. I'm not saying that is what it is like in your marriage, but from the second article that was posted, I'm guessing she wanted to seen as someone with more substance than he was giving her credit for. |

DEX , Thanks for the info but I probably shouldn't have even posted in the first place. This is a week I don't care about politics, I have a busy personal life with lots of things happening. Not a Trump supporter either.
