Andrea Mitchell: President Obama "just eviscerated Donald Trump"

[napkinz]

[spanone]

1. good, he needs to be 100% marginalized...

[napkinz]

2. Trump is probably frantically tweeting right now

[oberliner]

10. His last tweet is: "AMERICA FIRST!"

All caps is his.

[roamer65]

13. That's what Lindbergh's American neo-nazi movement was called.

[oberliner]

15. They appeal to the same core constituency

Hopefully that group isn't large enough for him to win the presidency.

22. Donald Trump echoes Charles Lindbergh: The history of his odious campaign slogan

The GOP nominee promises to put "America First." Isolationists, many Nazi sympathizers, said the same prior to WWII

26. Yep and Pat Buchanan used it in 2000

The first time I heard Trump say it I couldn't believe it. Rush Limbaugh even laughed about it the next day - I catch his show from time to time.

28. Pat Buchanan: Donald Trump Stole My Playbook

Eleanor Clift
June 1, 2016

More than two decades before Trump’s presidential bid, Pat Buchanan called for a wall with Mexico. But instead of being embraced by the Republican Party, he was shunned.

When Pat Buchanan first proposed building a fence on the Mexican border, the Republican establishment was shocked, shocked! The candidate’s sister and campaign manager, Bay Buchanan, pushed for language in the 1992 GOP platform calling for “structures” on the border. Surely you don’t mean a fence, she was told. “We’re not talking about lighthouses,” she replied.

Buchanan was talking about the evils of immigration long before Donald Trump rode the issue to the Republican nomination. In 1992 and 1996, the former Nixon speechwriter and conservative firebrand ran for president as a Republican, his signature anti-trade and immigration diatribes inflaming party divisions and contributing to the GOP’s loss of the White House. Unlike Trump, Buchanan was cast out of the party and treated as a fringe candidate with ideas unfit for polite company.

“I was relatively astonished when he came out against trade and immigration—and to Make America First—that’s on my (campaign) hats!” Buchanan exclaimed in an interview with The Daily Beast.

32. Thanks

[bonemachine]

3. One the one hand...

I don't think we really want our political discourse to revert to that.




On the other hand...

It sure does sound pretty, don't it?




On the third hand, because I love Zaphod...

I'm real bloody sick of the destruction synonym meme that's been making the clickbait headlines rounds these days.

[TexasProgresive]

11. 3rd hand wins.

Uber hyperbole doesn't work for me. If tRumps political chances are destroyed he would step away from the nomination. It's not going to happen because of anything President Obama or anyone says.

4. I love the smell of Trump Roast in the morning

Smells like victory.

[napkinz]

12. that smell ...

[DinahMoeHum]

29. Wish we still had the DUzys. . .

. . .'cause that one's a winner.

[napkinz]

35. life imitates art ...

[malaise]

40. ROFL

46. Hi there sis

Obama: "there is no magic behind using radical Islam. That's not a strategy."

[mnmoderatedem]

6. the only thing missing

was his dropping the mic.

[napkinz]

8. dropping the mic and ...

[narnian60]

16. Hee hee.

[Grassy Knoll]

18. Nice..

[tallahasseedem]

33. I was hoping someone would post this!

Thank you...one of my favorites!!!

[napkinz]

34. it never gets old!

[chillfactor]

7. she usually...

doesn't say good things about the president....this was a 180 degree turn for her.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. He's right. The Republicans are only good at alienating fellow Americans.

[Miles Archer]

14. Cue Trump "Did you see that face" Tweet in 10...9...8...7...

He's the Olive Garden Bottomless Pasta Bowl of the GOP.

[sheshe2]

19. That's our President, napkinz.

[napkinz]

20. Trump doesn't know what he's in for ... this is just the beginning!

[sheshe2]

21. Ha!

I can't wait. Trump is going to get his rump handed to him!

[yellowcanine]

24. Or maybe his drumpf

[napkinz]

25. he's not going to know what hit him ... believe me ... it will be such a pounding ...

your head will spin ... it's going to happen ... 100%

[yellowcanine]

23. Dear President Obama,

[CincyDem]

27. Too soon ?

Personally, I'd like to see trump go into Cleveland strong enough to be the nominee...and then hand him his head daily (and twice on Sundays) until election day.

As uncomfortable as it may be, the Rethugs still have the option of putting someone else on the ballot. It's unlikely and it'll be civil war over there but the chances are NOT zero.

I'd like to keep Donald on life support until they really have no other choice.

Just my 2 cents.

[cynatnite]

30. Their election chances would remain low if not lower than it is now...

Trump would likely go third party.

I really don't believe they'll replace him. The repubs have been asking for a candidate like this for a long time. They allowed their rabid racist base to practically take over. Every word trump utters will be hung around the neck of all republicans, as it should be. This will likely keep the repubs out of the WH for the next twenty years. The stains won't be coming out anytime soon.

[CincyDem]

31. I agree with that. Low or lower.

And it's probably true that Trump would probably run third party at this point because, like all narcissists, he believes his own bullchit.

Still - the campaign will be a lot more fun watching HRC whip Trump about the face and next vs. some other Rethug sacrificial lamb.

Also - I think Trump is likely more damaging than a replacement.

In the end, your right that the odds of replacement are low because he really is who they are - he just doest' have the political savvy to couch his racist/sexist/xenophobic opinions is typical poly-speak.

[napkinz]

37. "I'd like to see trump go into Cleveland strong enough to be the nominee."

Me too. I don't want to miss all those sports figures Trump is inviting to speak at the convention.

Donald Trump Wants Sports Stars, Not Politicians, on Convention Stage

[NoMoreRepugs]

52. I too want to see T-Rump be the nominee - but our Prez has gotta do what he's gotta do..

[vkkv]

36. CLICK BAIT - WHERE'S THE LINK?????

[napkinz]

38. I posted right after she said it.

[vkkv]

39. It is CLICK BAIT, it is bankrupt of proof and facts..NT

[pinboy3niner]

41. I will be happy to corroborate napkinz' statement

I heard it and wrote down what Mitchell said:

"He just eviscerated Donald Trump in that extraordinary speech."
--Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC immediately following President Obama's live address

[napkinz]

42. thank you pinboy3niner

[pinboy3niner]

47. You're welcome, napkinz

What a bizarre reaction that was. It was two Corinthians short of a Trump.

[malaise]

43. FFS!

[Hekate]

45. What is your problem? The quote was accurate, the source attributed, it just happened....

...so no transcript yet.

Why are you yelling as though you think the poster is lying in his teeth?

[vkkv]

50. It is CLICK BAIT - there was no "NT" listed in the headline, then we all wouldn't waste our time..

It's weak reporting... duh.

[pinboy3niner]

51. OMG! Call Congress! Right Fing Now!1!! :) nt nt nt nt nt NT!

[etherealtruth]

48. Here is a link to the youtube video .... a much more civil tactic is to provide links ....

... and further information as you find it to help the conversation along.

Here is another link: https://www.rawstory.com/2016/06/andrea-mitchell-president-obama-just-eviscerated-donald-trump-in-that-extraordinary-speech/

[napkinz]

55. thank you etherealtruth ... the video wasn't available when I started this thread

I will now add it.

again, thank you

[etherealtruth]

56. oh i know it wasn't available .... I was so glad you posted ....

i was at work and took a brief break and saw your post

It made my day.

Without your post I wouldn't have known about this until this evening

Thank you!!!!

[napkinz]

57. I haven't been online for a few hours and I had tried to find video or a transcript

after I had posted (which was literally within seconds after she made the statement)

again, thanks so much

[Vinca]

49. That was a thing of beauty. I love the POTUS even more in his last roundup.

I wonder how much of it the "Orange One" understood.

[napkinz]

60. "how much of it the 'Orange One' understood"

based on Trump's speech tonight, not much

[no_hypocrisy]

53. And on Trump's 70th birthday no less.

[napkinz]

58. George Takei tweeted ...

George Takei Verified account ?@GeorgeTakei 8h

Today is Trump's 70th birthday, which goes to show you can live a very long time and still learn basically nothing.

[stopbush]

54. At this point, how can anyone defend or explain away anything Trump says

and not be tarnished with his hatred?

If even the newsreaders are fleeing the ship, he's toast. Without positive coverage in the press of some aspect of his candidacy, he's going to just keep sinking in the polls until he's down to the career haters.

[napkinz]

59. here he goes again ... on MSNBC right now

let's see how much more damage he can do
