Watching the video the cuts don't seem as bad as the text transcript reads.

Not saying i'm for Trump, but this isn't as bad of an interview people here are making it out to be.

He confirms that torture, racism, and xenophobia are among his official policies.

It's as bad as people are making it out to be.

What? This might be one of the worst presidential hopeful interviews in modern history.

Like even if you agree with policy this interview was a disaster just from a cohesion standpoint

I'm about 15 seconds in and am already at max cringe. That picture of mini Pence sitting on Trump's lap is so apt.

You think people think the interview is bad mainly because of the cuts?

It makes it read like there are lots of cutting people off, which is fun, but it's the answers that stand out.

Naw I mean it's obvious they're pandering and wording their way around questions, but the OP reads like it's more about how they're unable to communicate.

He confirms that torture, racism, and xenophobia are among his official policies.

I mean, I feel like this is all already known.

Sure, it's not a bad interview at all. I mean, he's going to give us unbelievable intelligence that we don't have now... somehow, he's going to declare war on ISIS but he'll only have "very little" boots on the ground, and he honestly thinks he can circumvent the Constitution by just banning people from certain "territories" that happen to primarily house Muslims.

I read it and then had to watch it. All I can say is that we can't possibly elect this man as our leader. He comes across as inept and inconsistent.

I can't wait until the debate in September and I'm counting on Hillary to eviscerate him. He is weak when he isn't scripted and I think he'll get exposed big time in the three debates.

Poor Mike Pence.
 
From the transcript alone I cringed so hard. I know Trump doesn't deserve to even be cringed at at this point, but that was so awful.

What a joke. If you vote for this man you should be ashamed of yourself.

To explain - I meant more that the way they're communicating in the interview isn't as bad as the OP read, IMO. The policies and his opinions are all pretty terrible though.
 
When asked about waterboarding, Pence cringes in a "I want to say yes but not actually say the words she's using" way, then insists on "enhanced interrogation". But means exactly that. Literally just scared of the soundbite seeming negative, even though that's what he clearly agrees with.

Trump saying "him him he he" when the dude is sitting right next to him, lol

RE McCain question: "You can say yes, it's ok. Go ahead, say yes!"

Did Pence answer a single question he was asked straightly? What a hack.

On being humble:
Lesley Stahl: You're not known to be a humble man. But I wonder--

Donald Trump: I think I am, actually humble. I think I'm much more humble than you would understand.
If this was comedy writing, it would be masterful.

"I'm the most humble. So humble it's beyond other people's stupid minds to even comprehend. If humility was an Olympic event, those gold medals? All mine."

This gif has never been more perfectly used.

Reading those excerpts gave me a headache.

The general lack of providing any specific and informative answers to the questions being asked of them was embarrassing. It was like pulling teeth, and the awkwardness of the "chemistry" between Trump and Pence only helped make it look like more of a circus act.
 
Lmao I'm crying at how hilarious this is. This is what we consider people running for president of the United States?? This seems like some armature lol

There was no good pick. There is no person that you could sit next to Trump that would have made this interview any less of a shitshow.

Isn't it amazing how Trump defenders seem to flat-out ignore any missteps Trump makes time and time again? I mean they don't defend them, they simply act like they never happened. I'm convinced once they saw the interview go badly at that point for them it only became Pence on the stage.
 
But seriously choosing between Hillary or Trump is "choosing between the lesser of two evils" in the same way that choosing between drinking a glass of milk that is a few days past the listed expiration date or taking a shotgun and blowing your fucking brains out is choosing between the lesser of two bad options

Yeah. It's just intrinsic to who Trump is. He wants to control the message. He wants to get the last word in. Pence is on his side and he still needs to (extreeeeeeeme) vet and approve what he's saying.

I literally cannot wait until the debates when Clinton gets him so flustered he just calls her a bitch or something.
 
What the fuck is wrong with him? This man actually has a shot of becoming the next president and he literally argues like a child. Do people seriously not see just what kind of person they're wanting to vote for?
