Mook should have pulled a Tommy Vietor!
"Dude, that was like, three years ago!"

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook dodged questions about Clinton’s Syria policy, which prompted members of the panel to say, “we may be tiptoeing into Gary Johnson territory here,” and ask, “you can’t lay out your plan, how can you convince voters that Hillary Clinton is the better choice, Robby?” And “why do we have you here?”
Mook was asked by co-host Willie Geist, “Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State when this crisis began. What’s her biggest regret about the way Syria’s been handled?”
He answered, “Well, I — obviously she’s been out of office for some time now. … I think she’s well regarded for her leadership as Secretary of State. She came out of that office with a 70% approval rating. She, in contrast to Donald Trump has released a clear and decisive plan to defeat ISIS. Donald Trump has said that he thinks he knows more about it than the generals and refuses to tell us what his secret plan is.”
Geist responded, “I understand, Robby. What about in Syria, though? She supported the drawing of the red line. Obviously, she was out of her office when Assad used chemical weapons. Was it a mistake to draw the red line if the president was not willing to go — to do something about it when it was crossed?”
Mook stated, “Well, as you pointed out, the decision regarding that was made after she was out of office so, I think you’d have to ask President Obama.”
followed up, “Was she disappointed that the president didn’t act when the line was crossed?”
Mook said, “I think you’d have to ask her about that question, how she would characterize it.”

Mook Dodges on Clinton’s Syria Policy, MSNBC Panel Responds, ‘Why Do We Have You Here?’ We’re In ‘Gary Johnson Territory’
Need to watch video
This guy is dumber than dirt
Quick glance at the headline made me think that Michelle was on Morning Joe.
When the liberals on Morning Joe turn on Clinton you know she’s in trouble. Guess they’re tired of Trump boycotting the show. I watched the exchange with this so-called campaign manager for Hillary Clinton. With his grinning and laughing while being grilled he acted and acted like an idiot. You would have sworn he worked for Trump.
You know your up a creek as a libdem when msnbc is raggin’ on ya.
I seen this on twitter this morning and was wondering the same thing: “You’ll have to ask the Sectary about her policies” why was he there???
They keep yelling about Trump’s policies, which are all over the place, and on his site, and this joker can’t answer anything, it couldn’t be because her only policy is TRUMP could it???
And “Why is your name Robby”?
And “Why is your name Robby”?
and on MSNBC too!
super!!
maybe Trump can rebroadcast it as a campaign commercial?
Keep lying, dickhead, your nose is growing.
I can’t imagine if someone representing Trump was such a smug idiot. He sat there smiling, laughing, spewing old talking points and turning it on Trump when asked about Clinton policy. What an arrogant jackass.
Blowback from the Matt Lauer moderator debacle. Illary supposedly called NBC execs and bitched them out for his “tough” questioning, so I imagine these experts at MSNBC are being crappy with Mook in order to get even.
Mook should have pulled a Tommy Vietor!
They don't have chairs that big on the set.
Hillary had assumed she'd be skating to the presidency, so she wasn't too choosy in picking quality staff - as we are seeing now.
Trump on the other hand...
Mook needs that FAKE SMILE wiped off his gay face.
Isn’t Tommy Vietor working for Hillary also?
Mook is well-prepared for tough questions like:
“Is Hillary ready for the debate?”
“How was Hillary’s weekend?”
“Has Hillary seen her grandchildren recently?”
The fact that right-wing extremists at MSNBC went totally off-script and surprised him with questions about politics seems to have really left him confused.
Don’t know. He seems to have fallen from the spotlight.
