Donald Trump dismissed Mike Pence’s take on Syria and admitted the haven’t talked.

…Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, had said just days earlier that the US should be prepared to bomb Syrian military targets to help protect residents of the besieged city of Aleppo. Moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC asked Trump if he agreed. Trump, without missing a beat, calmly threw Pence under the bus.

“He and I haven’t spoken, and I disagree,” Trump said.

Bombing forces loyal to Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad would be a mistake, Trump argued, because Assad is “killing ISIS.” Trump didn’t explicitly say that he was siding with Assad in Syria’s brutal civil war, but that was the clear implication. Trump didn’t seem even remotely bothered by the fact that Assad has used chemical weapons against his own people and presides over a military that has killed tens of thousands of Syrian civilians and driven millions more from their home.

    That would be his style of governance. He has NO clue how stuff works! He doesn’t understand that he can’t fire 535 congress-critters…but they can fire him.

    The trumpster has a different view of foreign policy and it’s on par with the most ignorant and hateful people on the planet.

    Not surprising since Trump likes dictators!

      Maybe Trump thinks Pence and Assad are one in the same. After all, both Pence and Assad hate women and gays, and LOVE war! The difference is, Pence blames his hatred on his god.

    The bullshit artist is obviously clueless and heartless bastard.

    I’m not surprised. Mike “every sperm is sacred” Pence is “pro-life”, which is why he can’t wait to bomb the living sh*t out of Syria.

    Trump had not idea what he was saying. He just got his memorized slogans and tidbits mixed up into a Palin style word salad.

    Yes, Trump is an idiot about foreign policy. Yes, Hillary is an expert.

    But neither are saying what I think is the truth: Syria is a no-win for us.

    It’s horrific if we do nothing but it is surely worse if we start sending in troops and shooting down Russian airplanes.
