Trump: *** [T]hat was a war that we shouldn't have entered because Iraq did not knock down--excuse meThe most hilarious part of all this? Trump supported the Iraq War! In fact, he didn't start opposing it until it became clear that the whole thing was turning into a debacle.
Stahl: Your running mate voted for it.
Trump: I don't care.
Stahl: What do you mean you don't care that he voted for?
Trump: It's a long time ago. And he voted that way and they were also misled. A lot of information was given to people.
Stahl: But you've harped on this.
Trump: But I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning.
Stahl: Yeah, but you've used that vote of Hillary's that was the same as Governor Pence as the example of her bad judgment.
Trump: Many people have, and frankly, I'm one of the few that was right on Iraq.
Stahl: Yeah, but what about he--
Trump: He's entitled to make a mistake every once in a while.
Stahl: But she's not? OK, come on--
Trump: But she's not--
Stahl: She's not?
Trump: No. She's not.
Stahl: Got it.
Maybe Trump should have picked a running mate who opposed the Iraq War from the start, as Trump falsely claims he did. The problem is that finding a Republican who did so would've been difficult at best. As this article points out, the only Republican to oppose the war was Lincoln Chaffee, who is now a Democrat.
