I watched that exchange and came away thinking quite differently than you.
Trump appeared to think he could bully Georgie boy like he does the folks on celebrity apprentice, and found he could not.

All Stephanopoulos could do after the co-opt statement was stammer over and over asking Trump what he had found out in Hawaii.
Trump knows that Stephanopoulos knows the certificate of live birth doesn't mean sh.t either.
Lost in the whole process is the fact that Trump is telling them to forget about the birther business and ask him about Obama's economic policies.
Stephanopoulos didn't do that either. He was a beat puppy.
