Trump stand-ins struggle to speak for and defend nominee

Source: MSN/Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump isn't making it easy for top supporters and advisers, from his running mate on down, to defend him or explain some campaign positions.

Across the Sunday news shows, a parade of Trump stand-ins, led by vice presidential nominee Mike Pence, couldn't say whether Trump was sticking with or changing a central promise to boot the roughly 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally, with the help of a "deportation force."

And they didn't bother defending his response Saturday to the killing of a mother as she walked her baby on a Chicago street.

Pence and other Trump surrogates insisted the GOP presidential nominee has been "absolutely consistent" on his immigration policy and in coming weeks will outline more details that line up with his principles of tightening U.S. laws in a "humane" way.

Information to present on Trump. On the other hand we are lucky we have a nominee who has a great record of her service to others.

why are you asking me these questions, this is too tough

Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yep "being consistent" on being a racist bigot, and your on his team and "all" of the republican party is trying there damnedest to have it both ways and say they don't support what he says, but will vote for him---------------------not happening, you support a bigot

Why hasn't he released his tax returns, that should have been one of the tough questions?

Or how about , what do you think of someone stiffing a mom and pop out of contract money and had to go to court to get it there money?

Or how about defrauding people out money through a scam called Trump U ?


Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa don't ask me those questions
