’60 Minutes’ Was Outmatched by Trump
Variety ^ | OCTOBER 14, 2018 | Daniel Daddario

Posted on 10/14/2018 11:07:46 PM PDT by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

The President talked over Lesley Stahl in a relentless blast of rhetoric that seemed more rally than interview

......the President’s interview had effectively the same impact as a rally; it allowed him to bulldoze his chief enemy, the media, while airing his own points at ceaseless length.....

Lesley Stahl’s interview with Trump was an undeniable get; he’d been scarce on mainstream media since around the time he appeared on tape with NBC’s Lester Holt and indicated he’d fired former FBI Director James Comey in part due to the Russia investigation.

But the interview seemed governed by two motives, both of which played into the hands of a media-savvy President whose refusal to play by typical rules of engagement has been at the center of his rise.

Yes; he’s an equal opportunity truth teller. Sending in a “woman” to do the interview made not one iota of difference.

And in that vein, I wish he’d go on another riff about CBF’s lies during the Kavanaugh hearing. He needs to remind people she said she didn’t know how to contact her senator even though she’s a PhD, a college professor, is tech savvy, AND ... the home page of her college has a direct link to contacting senators.

He needs to get the truth out about her and her lies without seeming to attack her. (A fine line, I know.)

You are spot on. We saw this a week ago with McTurtle, Collins, and Graham supporting Kavanaugh. A few years ago the entire GOP would have hung their tail between their legs and sauntered away into the night by insisting Trump pull his nomination back at the mere thought of battling the #MeToo Nazis.

The Left’s problem (their problem, not ours) is they lie to us and to each other...to each other is their downfall and their arrogance. He kicked her butt all over the place, but they won’t say that to each other, instead, unicorns and rainbows and PDJT is still to them an idiot even though clearly, he’s a genius.

They have no friends who think differently than themselves, so it is groupthink to the max...

Trump relentlessly talked over the follow-ups to a further question — why he didn’t bring the country together in the wake of the Kavanaugh hearings, seeking a moment of unity. That the President’s vanishingly rare appearance on a nonpartisan news program...

Just look at this juxtaposition:

This article asks why he [Trump] didn't bring the country together in the wake of the Kavanaugh hearings. Say what?!

The President's vanishingly rare appearance on a nonpartisan news program.

So it was Trump's fault the Democrats engaged in the national effort to seek and destroy Kavanaugh. What political party has been calling for violent insurrection? Who's Party is the one advocating "resistance"? What political party is overwhelming represented in Portland? And then they have the gall to suggest that CBS 60 Minutes is nonpartisan. What next Saturday Night Live is considered pro-Trump??

And that proves he is not sexist. Treating someone different because of their gender, race, religion, Etc makes one an “ist”. The libs have it backward.

I am so happy that we are addressing the process and not the content.

We are sending out messages out and ignoring their drama.

Thank you President Trump.

Which has been happening since the earth was formed. Why does she think that suddenly the climate should stop changing? Why do they think we can or need to fight it? I would ask her if she knows that there used to be icebergs over most of the US. They melted, thank God! Keep on melting!

The comments by the pro-Trumpers were the best part. I’m sure the liberal Variety snowflake readers were aghast at reading the comments from the deplorables.

CBS is built on the legacy of Dan Rather, the document forger.

Such a “fair and balanced” guy.

Pretending CBS is fair is like pretending Bill Clinton respects women.

I saw it. He stayed on message, didn't blow his stack and smoked 'em.

“..... this guy is a machine. He must have been sent by God. There is no other explanation....”

God has raised up a David for our time and President Trump is amazed by his own success......

The God of Heaven is with Pac-Man and the wicked can not stand against....
