Donald Trump just had one of his most combative interviews yet (with Chuck Todd on NBC)
Business Insider ^ | August 16, 2015 | Maxwell Tani

Donald Trump went back and forth with NBC host Chuck Todd on Sunday in one of his most combative interviews since announcing his presidential candidacy earlier this summer.

In a 37-minute conversation on "Meet The Press," Todd pushed Trump on a wide range of issues with which the real-estate magnate would presumably be confronted if he won the presidency in 2016. It forced Trump to be on the defensive on everything from his college record, to outsourcing, to the US role in NATO.

This guy must have seen the wrong interview. The one I saw had Trump doing pretty well and he answered Chuck Todd on everything. In fact Trump turned the tables on Todd asking him questions and Todd ends up agreeing with him.

This looks like a hit piece.

It might have been combative.

With trump, it doesn’t really matter, he still gets his points out, and moves up in the polls.

Our sides problem all these years hasn’t been the interviewer.

It’s been our politicians.

Our side has weak, pussfied politicians.

F Chuck left with his hair unshaved. Not very combative for The Donald. ;-)

Or Hillary? It will never happen. The “combative” interviews are just for Republicans.

I was just going to ask that the tape of Todd tearing into Obama be queued up. (I managed TWO double entendres in one sentence!)

I hate the media.

Okay, fine. As long as F. Chuck conducts a similar tough interview with Hillary.

The writer, like most of those at Business Insider, is a leftist nobody. He graduated from college last year.

At best. At worst, they are the most deceitful, evil, good criminal/bad criminal punks in the history of the republic.

I watched all 37 minutes. Certainly the MSM doesn’t ask liberals ANY challenging questions, but Todd’s interview was reasonable and fair if we want journalists to push a little bit (as long as they push against both sides, which they don’t.) Trump did fine.

Calling that interview combative is to me totally mischaracterizing it - probably just to get readership from conservatives. It was a good, long interview which I hope lot of America watches/watched - they would learn that Trump is a well reasoned man with a good grasp of the issues and a global perspective that is no nonsense and doesn’t pretend that only politicians can understand the world. If he keeps this up he’s not going to derail.

Since when would Trump be confronted with his “college record” if he were to win the Presidency?! Perhaps the writer would like to talk all about President Obama’s “college record”??

The Chuckster agreed with Trump several times,and even told the “panel” that he did. Just another apoplectic hit piece.
