Trump Bombs And Delivers Historically Terrible Performance At Commander In Chief Forum

[Wingnut]

Donald Trump gave what was nothing less than the worst performance of a nominee in modern political history. Trump confirmed that he knows nothing, and is proud of his ignorance.

Trump began by telling America that he was fit to be commander in chief because he is a business man. Trump once again praised his own judgment and lied about his opposition to the war in Iraq.

Lauer asked Trump if the country can afford to take the temperament risk on him. Trump brought up the Mexico trip and claimed that the firestorm his trip caused in Mexico was a victory.

Trump was asked about his claim that he knows more about ISIS than the generals, and he avoided the question. Lauer asked Trump if he lost faith in the military commanders. Trump did a song and dance about how trusts the military commanders, but he doesn’t trust Hillary Clinton.

A vet who is a Democrat asked Trump about his secret plan to defeat ISIS and asked what his plan for the region is. Trump repeated the question about how the US has invaded and never had a plan. Trump lied and claimed that Obama pulled out all of the troops, and that is how ISIS was formed. Trump repeated his babbling that the US should take the oil. Lauer asked how the oil would be taken, and Trump mumbled something about leaving people behind to take the oil.

Trump was asked what his plan is, and he rambled on while incoherently not mentioning a plan.

Trump was asked if an undocumented person who plans to serve in the armed forces should be allowed to stay in the country. Trump said that it would be a special circumstance, and they would be allowed to stay.

Listening to Trump speak, it was clear that the Republican nominee was making it up as he went along. Trump was asked a question about relations with Russia, and he touted Putin’s approval rating. Lauer asked Trump if he would accept a compliment from Putin, and Trump said that he would take the compliment when Putin called him brilliant. Trump praised Putin for being a leader and claimed that he is a better leader than Obama.

Trump was asked what his specific plan was to help veterans, and he claimed that Clinton said she was satisfied with how things are going at the VA. Trump went on to basically admit that his plan for the VA is privatization, while he said that he is opposed to privatization.

Trump was asked what his plan was to deal with the vet suicide epidemic, and he called the VA, which not five minutes before, he vowed not to privatize a corrupt enterprise.

Donald Trump stood by his 2013 tweet that blamed military rapes on the victims.

Lauer asked Trump what he was reading and how he was preparing to be commander in chief. Trump claimed that he is studying “a lot,” but then he talked about how busy he is and how many hats he is wearing. Trump claimed that he doesn’t need knowledge because he has “a common sense.”

If the CIC forum was the first commander in chief test Trump failed miserably. Donald Trump was unprepared, unknowledgeable, and he had no plan to address any of the issues that were posed to him.

Donald Trump gave the worst performance of a modern presidential nominee in any forum in the last thirty years. Trump confirmed everything that Democrats have been saying. He was unprepared, winging it, and the last person anyone should trust with the commander in chief responsibilities.

what a load of crap   of course consider the writer is a hillary stooge and it is a liberal rag

[jedidah]

I thought he did better than expected.  (And I didn't expect much.)

They were both terrible.

I watched and I am again dumbfounded that this is the GOP nominee.  Trump is "making it up as he goes along" and any fair minded observer would conclude the same.  The man is a moron who could only name one of his military "show" advisors.  Sad days ahead.

Pretty poor performance  This was a warm up for the debates with a very weak Matt Lauer and Trump winged it like the chump he is.  He is going to get killed when it is the real thing.

[Vulcan]

Yes he did.  But to the Trump faithful, lies only matter if it's Hillary telling them.

[Frank Cannon]

I am dumbfounded that Donny didn't have decent answers for questions he knew he was getting about all the absurd statements he made in the past. He genuinely believes if he just talks a bunch of nonsensical words people will be stunned by his brilliance and move on when the opposite is true. He looked like a senile clown tonight.

He kept trying to bring his paper with the Generals names on it out.

You watched too.  Sorry you wasted 30 minutes of your life getting the same stale stock answers you've heard for the last year.

Could have worn an ear wick like cheating Hillary did!

Me too!  That's thirty minutes I could have been doing something else.

I saw 10 minutes of Hillary and turned the TV set off for the night.

A good part of the electorate is indeed stunned.  I know some of them.

Interesting that you thought Lauer was weak. One of the complaints that I heard on a local radio talk show this morning was that Lauer was too tough, on both candidates.  Hmm.

I haven't seen it myself.  Wife recorded it on the DVR. I don't know if I'll watch it, since I'm not going to vote for either one.

An online poll.

I read a bunch of the internet buzz about her left ear and have no idea what the shiny object was.   She was awful last night, but did ramble and filibuster in clear and complete sentences.  I'm really not sure how she could do that while listening to someone talking in one ear.

More likely she's got a hearing loss and in-the-ear aid.

An online poll.

 

From an off the wall website that none of us ever heard of before this election.

My thoughts are that neither candidate did themselves any good.  Hillary is so bad that the Republican candidate should have voters from both parties lining up to support him.  But since it is Trump...even the cats gapped at the TV during the "Generals" bit.  That is all anyone is going to hear on the news for next several days and that is going to be lodged in the minds of voters.  If Trump ACTUALLY cared about making this country great again he'd invest in preparing himself, not only for the debates but for the office itself. 

I'm going to vote some third party candidate.  I'm not wild about any of them, but I think that both parties need to hear a message from the voters.

[sinkspur]

But you know what?

Trumpkins don't care what Trump says, or that he's dumb as a stump, or lies or contradicts himself or plays the fool.  We live in a reality TV world, and many on our side are infected with style over substance just like most of the rest of the country. 

When an ignoramus like Trump can compete for the highest office in the land, you know you live in a very stupid country.

Trump FAILED miserably last night.  He is an embarrassment to the nation, he is an embarrassment to the party.  Those of you who support him or supported him ARE RESPONSIBLE for handing Hillary the White House!! By his lack of performance during the forum it was painfully obvious that he lacks the intelligence, knowledge and experience to be Commander In Chief!

[Jazzhead]

It is our patriotic duty to see to this man's defeat.   

[libertybele]

The logic or better yet lack of logic of the Trump supporters astounds me.  For months the orange baboon has gone before crowds and repeated the same rhetoric over and over again and when the rhetoric was criticized he then flip-flopped.  He never went into depth on any issue he was speaking about and it became painfully apparent (to non-Trumpsters) that he just didn't have any in depth knowledge of the issues period. He won by exciting the electorate with 'hot' issues, insulting and attacking others and out and out lying.  Let's not forget the large number of DEMS that voted for him in the open primaries!

The polls for months indicated that he was the least likely of ALL candidates that could beat Hillary; because of his bombastic, narcissistic personality and his lack of experience and knowledge.  Yet you Trumpsters continued to buy into his rhetoric.  Duh ... it's ok that he'd shoot someone and he'd still have support!

Dear Trumpsters, you've been duped!  Please wake up and realize you have other options besides handing Hillary the White House:

Daryl Castle - Constitution Party

Evan McMullin - Independent

Gary Johnson - Libertarian Party

Where's "None of the Above"? However, I will be checking out Mr. Castle as my last option.

The author's pathetically weak grasp of invective and the correct use of emotive indexes totally undermines the point he is trying to make.

Trump was TERRIBLE. Not bad, not "unprepared," not "having a bad night" ... but toilet shattering, sewer blocking, natural disaster level, epicly shit.
