Which is why speaking off the cuff is a really bad idea for politicians; however, the GOP only have themselves to blame. After all, after 30 years or more of their never ending attacks on politicians and teleprompters, theyâve gotten their perfect candidate- a racist, misogynistic bigot who has no filter on his mouth.
Despite what the media says, at least Sanders has rehearsed what he is going to say even if what he says is honest.
I wish somebody would ask Katrina Pierson if Trump is willing to acknowledge that it was a tremendous lapse in judgment to hire Katrina Pierson. But then I wish for lots of things. : (
Good God, Katrina. Bring back the Hope Hicks.
Pierson is skilled at shoveling bull shit as fast as she can, but itâs still bull shit.
Katrina Pierson is hoping to be the Dana Perino of the Donnie Dimwit administration⌠everyone should have a dream and/or aspirationâŚ
âMr. Trump answered the question. He just answered it after Chris Matthews said, âBut for women?â and he just said, âYes.â Because Mr. Trump was speaking about the legality. This was a hypothetical context of something happening that was illegal. Mr. Trump was just reinstating that if somethingâs illegal, yes, they should be punished. Thatâs why he clarified, for distinguishing the difference between the woman and the actual person committing the procedure thatâs not legal.â
Except thatâs not true at all. Not even remotely.
Hereâs the actually transcript:
MATTHEWS: Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no as a principle?
TRUMP: The answer is that there has to be some form of punishment.
MATTHEWS: For the woman.
TRUMP: Yeah, there has to be some form.
MATTHEWS: Ten cents? Ten years? What?
TRUMP: I donât know. That I donât know. That I donât know.
MATTHEWS: Why not?
TRUMP: I donât know.
MATTHEWS: You take positions on everything else.
TRUMP: Because I donât want to â I frankly, I do take positions on everything else. Itâs a very complicated position.
I give Katrina an âAâ for showing up to work everyday. It must be one of the most demanding jobs out there, even if you do DO like lying, because sheâs gotta be fast on her feet with the lies Donnie tells. That, and she must get paid exceptionally well.
Yeah he âmisspokeââŚwhich is why hours after THIS BS, The Donald accused MSNBC of âeditingâ the tape to show him in a bad light when everyone KNOWS that he would never say a woman should be PUNISHEDâŚdespicable.
I donât give a fuck. There are some things you donât mis-speak about. Ever.
Why not ask if Ted Cruz gave her an orgasm?
I just want to know what âmiss-speakingâ isâŚwhat does that mean?
Indeed. And donât forget the follow up question if men should be held responsibleâŚand Trump said nope, becauseâŚexternal plumbing.
He knew precisely what the question was, and was answering precisely about women. He wants them âpunishedâ for getting abortions, and wants the men who get them pregnant to suffer zero consequences.
Keep this in mind with his past statement about childrenâŚthat he doesnât want to deal with them, thatâs what women are for.
When you tie it all together, you have a tapestry of an incredibly misogynistic world viewâŚwomen exist merely as breeders and to raise the little rug rats. Men exist to freely spread our seed far and wide so that women can achieve their reason for being. And any woman who tries to stop that should be targeted for criminal prosecution.
This is a massive attempt at rewriting recent history AND going with the âgotchaâ journalism defense, all rolled into one. I suspect it will end soon, as it becomes clear that its a completely indefensible point, and they are better off just changing the subject.
akaâŚâLOOK! A SQUIRREL!!!â strategy.
It wasnât a hard question and Matthews gave him every opportunity to walk what he said back. Letâs face it Mr. Durmpf answered the question the very logical way every anti-abortion politician wants to answer it but canât because their trade doesnât want to face the real life consequences of their heartlessness in the name of Jesus.
ââŚMr. Trump, thatâs actually one of his appeals,â Pierson said.
â⌠It just depends on which side of his mouth he is speaking out of,â said the tap-dancing Stepford Spokesperson
That makeup factory who doubles as the Trump spox will hopefully realize that the nation finally comes to its senses, eventually, about idiots who run for national office and pride themselves on speaking off the cuff - as in, $arah who?
âI think if youâre a political candidate for eight months, you are
speaking off the cuff. Mr. Trump, thatâs actually one of his appeals,â
Pierson said.

MmmkayâŚwas it âoff the cuffâ when Trump thought giving nukes to Japan and S. Korea was a brilliant idea? Now those allies are all in a tizzy over his âoff the cuffâ pontifications. Not to mention it is against the Japanese Constitution for them to build nukes FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. Or has The Donald and his minions forgotten World War Two and how that was brought to an end???
Trump and his crew really scare me.
Yea, really amazing how little attention is paid to all the loose nuke talk. Frigginâ nuclear weapons. What is he going to say after - that he mis-nuked?
I like âoff the cuffâ. It makes for a more interesting speech and you often find out what someone really thinks, as opposed to when they read a speech verbatim.
But in Trumpâs case, Iâll make an exception. I really donât want to know whatâs going on inside his head. Maybe he should stick to a teleprompter?
It usually means that the truth escaped.
