Donald Trump says he would declare war on ISIS and send “very few” USA troops to the Middle East to combat the terrorist organization, speaking in his first interview alongside his new running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. “We have to wipe out ISIS”, Trump said, refraining from committing ground troops to another foreign ground war, which is wildly unpopular with voters in both parties. “She is responsible for ISIS”, Trump said launching a scathing attack on Clinton’s legacy as US Secretary of State while speaking to CBS’s “60 Minutes” show host Lesley Stahl in an interview aired on Sunday. So, maybe he doesn’t have political experience, but we believe he will put people in charge who are experienced.

“Trump did not oppose the Iraq War before 2004, as we and countless other media outlets have found. We have to wipe out ISIS”.
“We’re going to have surrounding states and, very importantly, get North Atlantic Treaty Organisation involved because we support North Atlantic Treaty Organisation far more than we should, frankly, because you have a lot of countries that aren’t doing what they’re supposed to be doing”.
Pence said America needs to destroy the enemies and establish freedom. This may signal a new role for him in the campaign as Trump’s anger translator. I mean, I voted for the Iraq war.
Actually not from the beginning, according to a September 11, 2002, radio interview with shock jock Howard Stern that Buzzfeed dug up.
STAHL: But you harped on it. It was “a long time ago”, he said.
Unlike Hillary Clinton supporters, who often gloss over her “mistakes” and choose to look at Clinton as a victim wrongly picked on by those on the “right”, Trump supporters are voting with logic, not emotion. No way, he told Stahl.
Hillary Clinton used a rally of the American Teachers Federation in Minneapolis on Monday night as another occasion to blast Mike Pence, but the slap came off as a backhanded compliment.
“But she’s not?” Stahl asked.

That’s the Donald. When he steps out of the fog, the fog stays with him.
