As suspected. Fake news.

“”I don’t recall” seemed unnecessarily flaccid.”

It is prudent to answer that way in case there is a recording of a conversation in which the word “standby” was used.

By saying he doesn’t recall, he is not only making his statement unimpeachable (nobody can prove or disprove what he recalls), but he is also conveying that there was no emergency - there was nothing memorable about the appointment.

I think he answered correctly.

You don't remember things that didn't happen.

You better tell Joe, cause that's the way he rolls every day.

My adult son had some minor surgery last year. I went with my wife so we could drive him home. That is about all I remember. Whether she asked me to go, or I offered, or my son asked - I have no idea.

If you asked my wife - she would know in detail the events of that week, including what type of sandwich I got her from the hospital deli. (I’m almost positive I went to the deli!)

Or things that happen routinely. I think it’s pretty standard for the VP to be “put on standby,” that is, be immediately available, when the President travels, goes into a medical setting, or a host of other situations.

Yep. Illustrative of why Mike will never be president. A good guy, but without the required fire in his belly to go mano a mano with the left.

Senators make for crappy Presidents and VPs. Governors, yes. Congressmen, sometimes. The latter may still a little scrappy if they haven’t served too many terms. But Senators? Nah, you can keep ‘em.

There isn’t a reporter alive who has Trump’s energy.

Every really successful person I have even known has NEVER been a “9-5” person.

This is why I don’t trust Pence farther than I can throw him. He should have unequivocally said he was not put on stand by.

The LIES about @realDonaldTrump’s health are DISGUSTING.
