Related: About this forumCaught: Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders Have Both Defended Hillary on Iraq
http://bluenationreview.com/donald-trump-and-bernie-sanders-have-both-defended-hillary-on-iraq/Donald Trump is using the Bernie Sanders attack playbook against Hillary. But just like Bernie, his attacks are falling flat.
Last month, in an interview with Charlie Rose, Bernie was confronted over his assertion that Hillary should apologize for Iraq war deaths.
Rose asked Bernie if he really blames her and Bernie admitted to playing tit for tat, saying, Of course she doesnt bear responsibility Do I hold her accountable? No.
Tad Devine, Bernies top adviser, was on Meet The Press in August 2004, and said, John Kerry does not regret his vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq. What he deeply regrets is what the president did with that authority. Tim, again, the authorization was the right vote, it was the right choice.
Finally, we now have news that even Donald Trump, who keeps slamming Hillary over the same vote, knows better. He told Maureen Dowd in a 2006 interview:
Dont forget that decision was based on lies given to her, he says. Shes very smart and has a major chance to be our next president.
So next time you see Hillary being attacked about her AUMF vote, remember that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have both come to her defense on it.
