    MAGAts falling apart.

    They voted for a convicted felon and serial rapist, they find out he is also a pedophile, and America first means himself only - and we are in a war with a country that was not a threat.

    The REPUBLICAN party needs to be TOSSED out,, they always Tank the economy and go to war in the middle east....they suck.....they are HORRIBLE for the rest of this country.

    Farmers go broke, healthcare is expensive, they give tax breaks to the ones who don't need it.

    And the worst is most of their followers are ****ING DUMBASSES who don't know any better, they're just racist ****WITS.....or they are selfish assholes.

    THE GOP is the enemy within.

    Psychopath indeed. He and Trump are a lot alike in having sick and twisted mindsets.

    Is this what Mathloom was talking about? She did not say that drafting American children is off the table.

    The question was, "What do you want to say about President Trump's plans to put troops on the ground? As you know it has largely been an air campaign until now."

    Her response, "It has been and will continue to be, but the President wisely does not remove options from off of the table."

    It's a 30 second clip. It's not hard to verify before posting. You and I & others may not like that answer, but she certainly didn't say what you claimed.

    She should've taken that option off the table. This isn't rocket science.

    She's the official spokesperson of the white house? The white house should've removed that option at the start? It's been proven that a volunteer fighting force is much stronger than forcing adults to fight. There's been numerous scientific studies into this matter.

    Drafts don't work

    Maybe focus first on this: are you fine with American troops on the ground as long as there is not a draft? That is what you are implying here, though I am sure that is not what you meant.

    She wasn't talking about a draft. That wasn't the question. She was answering about whether troops on the ground were an option. She said it's not part of the plan right now, but the President doesn't remove options from off the table.

    She said that about a draft

    Now the chances of a draft happening are 0

    She is rage baiting

    A draft was mentioned in the lead up though. For any normal press spokesperson, that would have been a red flag and the first thing to do before answering the last question would be to irrefutably take that off the table.

    But let's be honest here. If the parties were reversed, right-wing media would immediately frame it out as if a draft was in play and make it a story for two weeks or more.

    (One thing I hate about modern media personalities is they tend to pontificate before asking a question, which allows the politician to pick out whatever topic they want and answer the question they want to answer. Shorter, more direct questions are better, especially in an interview like this where you have a chance to follow-up.)

    She said nothing about a draft. How is this even a debate? It was one question, "What do you want to say about the President's plans to put troops on the ground?"

    She said, "it's not part of the current plan, but the President doesn't take options off the table."

    Whatever.

    She prefaced that by saying something about a draft .

    Listening to it again , I can see how you reach your conclusion

    I can also see that levitt did nothing to shut down draft talk .

    Both were fear mongering and rage baiting .
