Anderson Cooper's Fiery Interview With Trump Advisor Kellyanne Conway


Don't let the length of the clip fool you. This was quite riveting to watch.

Good on Anderson that he doesn't back down. Make sure you watch to the end when he CONFIRMS that CNN never linked to the document dump or to Buzzfeed.

Conway is wrong, spinning for the Trumpers, and never acknowledges she's wrong.

What's clear is Team Trump has a huge chip on it's shoulder that folks didn't think he would win.

Near the end Conway asks why 8 years ago at this time CNN was reporting that President Obama was headed to Oslo to pick up a Nobel Peace Prize, but no one's reporting that about Trump today.

Umm, maybe because Trump hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize???

From CNN:

Donald Trump: I May Have Dodged The Draft But My Prep School Felt Like Being In The Military


Donald Trump has raised eyebrows for saying that although he dodged the draft during the Vietnam war, he feels his prep school experience made him feel like he was in the military.

Via Talking Points Memo:

"My number was so incredible and it was a very high draft number. Anyway so I never had to do that, but I felt that I was in the military in the true sense because I dealt with those people," Trump told Michael D’Antonio, the author of the forthcoming book "Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success," according to a preview in the New York Times.

Trump attended the New York Military Academy from eighth grade through the end of high school where he participated in military drills and encountered some instructors who had served in the military, according to the Times.

He told D'Antonio that at the academy, he got "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military."

The comments didn't land lightly at the Pentagon where more than one soldier had a less than enthusiastic response.

“Did he have to swear-in to get into his school?” one soldier asked.

Another soldier responded saying, “Well it could be true. It depends on what kind of pillow fights he got into."
