Wish there was a new show where they would give the guest two chances to answer questions and then boom, interview over. You can't be on my show if you dodge, weave, and spin. I'd watch that show.
I think the issue is the systemic portion. No doubt that politics and spin have always been played by nearly everyone, but the extent to which this administration rejects basic objective facts for some made up KAC defense that is overtly untrue on its face is a much greater magnitude than the Obama or Bush administration IMO.
that statement was a huge fuckup by obama
She's deflecting objective facts not spinning nuanced narratives. This is not old hat.
Let me conclude by saying that I despise this admin and agree 100% that she is dodging the truth (also known as lying). I don't condone it and I wouldn't book her for anything. Hoping for an impeachment. Pence is actually a decent fellow who has governing experience. I think he would make a fine president.
I cannot disagree more. His own state, a historically strong red state, did not like him. He has a history of blurring the line between separation of church and state. He was a huge supporter of a law that legalizes discrimination. He led an abortion bill that PRO-LIFE WOMEN in Indiana state legislature were against. Numerous Indiana journalists have stated that he does not like giving actual answers to direct questions, preferring to stick to talking points and robotically repeating them (a trait that the GOP turned on Rubio for having).
Pence is arguably more dangerous than Trump. Trump just has no idea how to govern. Pence would have the ability to actually implement some of the most conservative policies that America has ever seen. If that's your thing, then maybe he would be a good president. But Pence would set back American social policy half a century, if not more.
Sure but let's not pretend they're even in the same ballpark. Call it out when you see it, but I don't see how a reasonable person could conclude that this is anything remotely like anything the past few presidents have done - GOP or Democrat.
I think from a political standpoint, a Trump impeachment is bad for Dems. But it might be necessary for the survival of the Republic
Trump won't go down without a fight and neither will his hardcore supporters. That fight would be ugly and damaging to the Republic.
Yeah. He underestimated how much people would like their plans.

i don't know that he actually has hardcore supporters other than his cabinet, chief of staff, etc and they're only in it to use him. this will be damaging to the republic, though, no matter how it plays.

I feel like Pence is going to push that agenda anyway. At least if he was president we wouldn't have to deal with these daily Twitter wars and Trump's uncontrollable ego. Maybe it would also get mad man Bannon out of the ear of the most powerful man in the world. We could all go back to disagreeing over actual policy and legislation.
