Chuck Todd hit job on Donald Trump: NOW and THEN

[egbertowillies]

Chuck Todd executed what can only be called a justifiable hit job on Donald Trump on Meet The Press today. One wonders why it took this long.

“One of the reasons Trump is breaking through this year though is people feel they know where he stands,” Chuck Todd said. “But do they? We’ve been looking at his positions through the years. It would be fair to say he’s evolved, quite a few times in some key issues, from health care to abortion to his feelings about the top Democrat in the 2016 field.”

Donald Trump NOW: “I think Hillary Clinton would be a terrible president. She was the worst Secretary of State in the history of our nation. Why would she be a good president?

Donald Trump Then: “Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I mean I am a little bias because I have known her for years.” Reporter asked if he supports her. “I won’t get into this because I would get myself into trouble. I just like her. I like her and I like her husband.

Donald Trump NOW: “Some people would say he [President Obama] is incompetent. I would not say that. Yeah. Yes I would.”

Donald Trump Then: “I think Tim Geithner has done a good job. I think that the whole group has really done a good job. When you look at what’s happened. At least we have an economy. You wouldn’t have had an economy had they not come up with some very drastic steps two years ago.

Donald Trump NOW: “I am almost more disappointed with the Republicans … They have to toughen up on Obamcare which is a total lie and which is a total and complete disaster.”

Donald Trump Then: When asked his thoughts on healthcare he answered. “Liberal on healthcare. We have to take care of people who are sick. … I love universal. We have to take care. There is nothing else. What’s the country all about if we are not going to take care of our sick.”

Donald Trump NOW: “Let me tell you. Everybody want to pay as little as possible. Including Warren Buffet by the way, just by what he says. So he says, what’s your tax rate. I don’t know. I pay as little as possible.

Donald Trump Then: “I would tax people of wealth, of great wealth, people over ten million by 14.25%. This tax would raise approximately five point seven trillion which happens to be our national debt.

Donald Trump NOW: “Well I am very pro-life. And I feel strongly about it.”

Donald Trump Then: “I am very pro-choice. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it. I hate everything i stands for. I cringe when I listen to people debating the subject. But you still, I just believe in choice.

1. Yep, trying to save the (R)s some embarrassment.

Next he will claim that Dumb Donald is really a Democratic operative.


MTP has fallen so very very far.

[Little Star]

2. k&r & also LMAO....

I wonder if Donald can remember which side of the bed is his.

[TexasProgresive]

3. Or who his current wife is.

10. This cycle's mittload.. etch a sketch.

[Fred Sanders]

4. And he is as terrible a liar as he is a terrible golfer, to boot. Cheats at golf as at marriage, everyone knows it.

Not that it was that hard, but Todd assassinated Trump, he exterminated him, eliminated with extreme prejudice.

Why now? With such gusto?

"Chuck Todd and the corporate media decided to hit Donald Trump because he is irreparably damaging the Republican brand with immigrants. One would have hoped it was being done because it was journalistically the right thing to do. How do we know journalism has nothing to do with it? It wasn’t done as extensively when a myriad of Republicans were opposing Obamacare even as they supported similar policies with all the tenets of healthcare reform as proposed by the Heritage Foundation. They did not do it extensively as Republican politicians came on their programs with statements that were in direct conflict with past statements.

This hit job is just the corporatocracy cleaning up the house."

6. This will start the GOP propaganda machine, look for it starting with MOrning Joe...

they all know "Trump delenda est!"

[Fred Sanders]

7. Yep. The destruction of the GOP is going to end all chance of a mass media Citizens's United windfall in 2016.

"Destroy Trump" issued forth simultaneously from 5 corporate media HQ , and so it shall be.

Trump and Fox will have a meltdown of epic proportions on the same day as Obama announces a peace agreement with Iran and multiple heads will be exploding in multiple directions in a final pyromaniacal crescendo of victimhood and faux outrage.

Then can we clean up the mess once and for all?

[Bonhomme Richard]

5. Going after him will not help the party.....

because there are quite a few very dumb, bigoted, racist that just want to hear someone agree with them.
One other point.....for that to hurt Trump at this stage requires critical thinking which is sorely missing in their base.

[NCjack]

8. Another view: Fascist Trump will kick & stomp fascist Todd. It's time to get

your gourmet popcorn.

9. Chuck Todd hit job on Donald Trump: Now and THEN.. thank you, ew.

[Fred Sanders]

12. The mass media could do a well justified hit job on any and all the GOP candidates.

They could do a justified hit job on all the GOP economic and doomsday predictions of 6 years ago.

But they do not. They prop up the GOP and keep America in perpetual angst about which horse of a two horse race will win. As it always has been and must be.

These hit jobs are only done when one horse goes lame and needs media media treatment to keep the race close and interesting.

Remember the Dixie Chicks.

[Cha]

13. Exactly.. good point, Fred. They chose the donald. 'cause they're in fear.. he's going to turn

everyone into Dems except the die hard birther racists.

[Renew Deal]

11. Recently like in the past month he said Hillary was a good senator after 9/11

Which is true, but I'm not sure if some republicans can handle that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. By taking out Trump he's doing the GOP's dirty work while allowing them not to...

By taking out Trump he's doing the GOP's dirty work while allowing them not to have their fingerprints on the hit job.
