David Frum says JD Vance used to write for him on a publication called FrumForum under a pseudonym. Frum talks about how Vance's views have changed on policy and what he could do to the Republican party. #CNN #News
Moral Flexibility = I will lie and change my stance on any issue in order to get or remain in power. Update - I'm not affiliated with any particular political group; I just speak my truth. Thanks
You people still on with the crazy rhetoric. You're what's wrong with the country pal. I don't like Trump but I can speak intelligently about my disagreements with him, I don't need to resort to this kind of disgusting absurdity. There was a time when democrats would abhor this kind of inflammatory, catastrophizing rhetoric, instead appealing to reason and compassion. Make Democrats Honest Again.
@@rlcmlive182 No decent Americans want a dictator. Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. If people hate him it's because he's a convicted felon and favours our enemies. His acts have made him a pariah.
Almost all the conservative political intellectuals are in the Never Trump crowd. Bill Kristol, David Frum, George Will...all Never Trumpers. This makes sense because trumpism is anti-intellectual.

This guy is like me in many ways. A former staunch Republican who is disturbed and sickened by what has happened to the party in the 21st century, and for the same kinds of reasons. Thank you for articulating this with such clarity, former Republican speechwriter Frum.
you sure haven'tchanged. Still getting all your news spoonfed to you by Mainstream Industrial Complex Controlled media that pushes endless wars 24/7 just like Right Wing media during the Bush era. They switched to Left Wing Media. BTW. in cash you never noticed.
Mike Pence, I MEAN DAVID FRUM; WHAT DO Y O U KNOW OF CIA “Silicone disguises”?? Ms. Amanpour had it right that you were in WAHINGTON, before she corrected herself.
@@raccoonlittlebear6476 More like Trump for the 6ft under. His masters are going to take him out and won't all you bootlickers find a way to insult God with your idol worship!
Frum is a exstremist. Listen to what he say at 8:06. Frum: "Trump tried to organize a mob to take out Concress and maybe kill The speaker and the Vice president". Really, is this what you belive? Just unbelivebale how derange Frum have become.
@@kathyf8910 all that would mean is that you were gullible from the start, and this is absolutely true of anyone who would openly claim to support either side or either candidate.
Joe Biden has been and is OWNED and COMPRIMISED by China, Ukraine et al. Amassing millions in return for his policy influence when he was Vice President. We call that a traitor. As they say about people in glass houses....
I would never as long as I live understand how this man who’s name is not worthy of my breath to utter his is able to be in the position he’s in to run for president again. 😢
wake up dummy cost of living is controlled by greedy criminal republican owned corporation oil medicine food appliances furniture!!! we live in a ruthless republican dictatorship not capitalism!!!!!!
@@kellyroyds5040he doesn't care. He obviously wants his children growing up under fascism as long as he's the junior dictator. And we know how he feels about wives. Put up or shut up. Remember? He's the guy that says women who have been abused beaten and beaten down should always STAY. The lives of women and girls will never mean anything to this sob Vance or Mandel or whatever his name is. Geez I am so glad I'm not his mother, his sister or Lord forbid, his wife or daughter
That’s why I don’t have any friends!… my consciousness is rated at 520 out of 1000 on the map of the scale of consciousness reference Dr. David R Hawkins, MD, PhD, largest psychiatric practice in New York City during his career… and listed in Who’s Who . I’m so glad to be alone because nobody has what I have; and I am not giving it away without $100 billion. So take a long walk off of a short pier… anybody who wants to walk with me😂
Your country has 34 trillion in debt you seriously think 'democrat can fix it. In its four years all they did was print more money and spend more money causing massive inflation, US is on life support with a trillion dollars of new debt every 100 days and you are not voting trump just because you hate him? You need to think who will fix US and it is trump who will fix your economy no one respects Democrats you are a laughing stock in this world that is why there is war going on everywhere. At least Trump has the guts to sanction countries to make them toe the line
I wouldn’t vote for Trump even if he was A Democrat… I will never ever forget how he belittled the late Senator John McCain. My father was a POW and as an Army brat I remember that until the day he died he had nightmares, in spite of his ordeal he went on to serve honorably for 24 years!
What about Harris' void of moral character? Do you believe that she didn't see Biden's dementia? If so, she doesn't deserve to be president. She knew and she went along to get along.
Those individuals who stick by Trump are self-serving enablers with larceny in their own hearts. They are hoping that he will someday reward them for their loyalty.
@@julieowen4030 not worth considering, there never was fraud . That's why they never said the word in courts across America , because then they would have to prove it.
@@julieowen4030 But there was NO widespread Fraud. Just a Lying Buffoon who told the gullible and stupid the Election was stolen and the Sheep believed him.
He changed because he was in fourth place in his Senate race with no way of winning. The only way out was to go to Maura lardo and kiss the ring which is exactly what he did.
@@randyroach4289 Yep; his ambition is boundless. Getting behind Trump is his fast pass to fulfill that ultimate “ hillbilly made good” fairy tale he’s promoted. Don’t be surprised to see JD bite the hand that’s just fed him, sometime in the future. Trump sees JD as someone the poorer, red neck population in his followers will stick to. Those, plus Americans who idolise “ celebrity” for no particularly good reason.
It's hard to believe that the Republicans would put forth someone so unqualified. They used to put forth candidates who actually had real debateable platforms & were an actual challenge to the other party.
@@LincolnBowling-vf5cf If someone puts "😂😂" in a comment there are people so dumb they think that guy must actually be laughing - and you're one of them, Others are less gullible.
Why isn’t CNN asking questions as to why Ronnie Jackson, who is no longer a registered physician signing Trump’s medical certificate following the disgraceful events of last week’s shooting. Moreover, what’s happened to the medical records?
@@gusvonstupen1897 Still got your head in that hole in the ground? Donald Trump is fascist criminal who makes a habit of inciting violence. It is not surprising that these incitements have turned against him.
So far from the truth. Trump didn’t get where he is by being a bad guy. Biden is the one spewing lies about losing rights and our democracy. He mentioned about Trump being the bullseye. Trump speaks unity, not Biden. TRUMP 2024!!!!
When a snake shades, its skin doesn't change that snake to humble fish! It's still a snake! trump changed for 28 minutes, then turned back to his true evil nature
@@jennybrandt5188 No, they mean about what a whole group of us are going to do if you "people" ever get around to kicking off that fight you've been promising for over 9 years, now. We've waited & waited, but still all you do is talk. One of you shot its mouth off about a "civil war" at the RNC just last week, then went right into back-pedaling & apologizing. Hell ...!
@jennybrandt5188 Trump friend of the conglomerates who control these prices is unlikely to do much about it. More like he will be playing golf with them. Democrats have already tackled exorbitant prices in the medical sector and are set to do more. You may also want to consider larger issues, like freedom.
@@jennybrandt5188 Nah, maybe it’s that I farm, fish, and preserve a lot of my own food. Have an electric for short trips and hooked up my big ol’ truck with a secondary battery system fully integrated with a solar panel on the camper top for hauling and longer trips. Plus, I just installed solar on my property this year! I’m educated, self-reliant, AND unworried about pizza-gate! Not a fan of Nazi’s though.
@user-rq7hv6lf8c~ Exactly 👍 A zebra never changes it’s stripes. No offense to zebras. Now that Biden dropped out, it’s more important now than ever to talk to anyone you can to vote blue for decency and to save our democracy! 💙
Mr. Frum hit the nail on the head with Trump! Trump hasn't changed. He is doing what he needs to do to look different. He is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I think it's more lie a third. Hard trump support is a minority position. Remember trump has never had a 50% approval rating. He has never been popular even though he is a populist.
Data point from another former boss: the head of a SF venture capital firm was asked why he fired Vance. Was there a problem with his work? No, that was not the problem. The problem was that "he didn't DO ANY WORK."
..and bolder. He feels invincible and above the law and is going to attempt something when he loses the election. The sitting president must be prepared to act.
@@jhandle4196 oh is that why all the liberals in Chicago shoot each other? 100 people shot in Chicago over the 4th of July weekend. Not the same thing right? Lol
I think he actually did change. As Tucker Carlson put it: getting shot in the face changes a man. However near as I can tell this only lasted about 24-36 hours. Because, among other things, Trump only knows how to be Trump. A tiger can't change its stripes. Even if it had some epiphany and decided to be a vegetarian before long its going to have to go back to being a tiger. Because it knows no other way and couldn't change even if it wanted to.
SO you’re saying Trump is the greatest president of all time and these CNN fools live in la la land? Gotcha and you’re correct! 🇺🇸Trump/ Vance Nov 2024 🇺🇸 Biden /Harris for Prison! 🤬
45 doesn’t think he does anything wrong. He does everything perfectly like that “perfect” phone call he rants on about. Also, he said he believes in God but doesn’t ask for God’s forgiveness. Seeking God’s forgiveness is a tenet of Christianity. He’s certainly created his own brand of Christianity. The Bible, he never reads says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
I would have thought he presented as a man who thinks as an individual on the merits of an issue and doesn't fall for a cult of personality, like so many others.
@@lingyjennifer8399 well he did say "He might be America's Hitler" So maybe he thought the jury was still out. (FYI I am being sarcastic though the quote I read was that he did say "he might be......")
If anyone says Donald DF has changed after the assassination attempt, they are not being honest ,and that is nothing new for anyone that supports this wretched excuse for a man. The Only thing that changed after the assassination attempt was his diaper!
Good grief--now anytime someone doesn't like or agree with a candidate, they're a sociopath or mentally ill. Remember the days when people just said, "I'm not voting for him/her," and that was the end of it. Now each party assassinates the other candidate's character. Even after Trump was almost killed, people said that the whole thing was planned by Trump. People are just crazy.
Anyone who can look himself/herself in the mirror and go and support Trump has a problem with truth, morality, integrity, contentment and empathy. Definitely he or she should not professed to be a Christian (has claimed by Trump south evangelicals supporters) rather the person is just practicing religiosity.
I’ve been saying this EVERYWHERE and pointing people to the Vance/Stephanopoulos interview for proof. Trump now has his man who will help him steal an election.
Yes. Thank you David Frum. We should never forget the horrible things trump has done. Pence is living proof. I want to respect the Republican Party..we need a two party system. I hope Republicans come together and help get Trump out.I agree January 6 should never be forgotten.
A Man of Moral Flexibility = An Unprincipled Opportunist Who Seeks Only to Satisfy His Enormous Ambition Regardless of the Cost to Others. In other words, a man without virtue.
I feel like I need to watch Frum's responses over and over again to so I can use the same arguments against Trumpers in my life. Most articulate pundit out there

@@jennybrandt5188Hahaha and what was trumps job? Do everything he possibly can to stay in power? I wonder if you'd be saying the same if you were the woman trump r@p3d.
When someone is described to me as being extremely morally flexible and more ambitious than most politicians, that person strikes me as someone to be very, very scared about. Regardless of country, religion (or no religion), culture, or political party.
Im having a sudden shift of heart Im shocked at JD vance statement about Kamala being childless cat lady. Was that necessary???????? What about some women who cant have children . There are hundreds and hundreds of republican womeb who are infertile, with adopted or step children like Kamala. What was that???? We are ok with pres Trump children with 3 wives because he is good at economics and loves the country . Why not judge the candidate in professional manner.
@@terrybowen5896 compared to Biden, he made sure the USA defense was viable to protect us at any given moment, he kept our grocery prices down, car costs were down, petrol was down. So what again are you trying to claim? I’d do some homework using REAL numbers! Also, Trump doesn’t schmooze with Hollywood elite celebrities that could give a s$@t about middle class. And fake Dr Jill, she holding on with her teeth for that lifestyle! 🙄
@@jennybrandt5188 Please stop watching Fox News. It’s not news. Donald Trump is a pathological liar, and Fox backed him. Please educate yourself. It’s not that difficult. Unless, of course, you are not interested in truth.
No, he is no liberal! He helped to bring about MAGA, then, like many old-school Republicans, was horrified at the natural outcome of the GOP policies. I appreciate that he's doing his best to make up for that, but I'm not forgetting his past in assessing what he's doing now.
@@sundayoliver3147Exactly, he was also a staunch cheerleader of the Iraq war. An unjustified, illegal war which resulted in many innocent Iraqi deaths. Don't fall for his anti-Trump sentiments, he is a ruthless conservative guy, I actually despise him and his sister (who is a Canadian Conservative Politician) both ruthless, pro-wealthy establishment figures, their mother, Barbara Frum, the great journalist with left-leaning policies would have been so disappointed.
He's right, people really dont change & especially at age 78 & his words of unity are just words as nothing he has said or done shows that has changed one bit & he's the same negative speaker & divider as he's always been. Calling your opponent venom & scumbags is not a sign of UNITY.
JD Vance. Just when you thought Mike Pence was a walking oil painting. This guy is a ZERO. Can’t wait for the debates. Oh, and I’m a republican who DESPISES the current GOP.
@@dees9502 NO MORE GOP…. It The AMERICAN NAZIS PRTY! No resemblance to a common sense ideology of negotiations between two parties! It’s there way or the highway! Supported and directed by the AMERICAN OLIGARCHY! Keep the workers in their places … starving out any chance to survive having a happen contented life!
Why do you think that Vance is a zero? I believe he is a fine man who has strength and character. Nobody is a zero. That's a childish thing to say about anyone.
Vote them all out, drain the swamp and maybe they can rebuild back the GOP to decency. Like the party of old. Both parties used to disagree on policies but RESPECTED each other. When Trump came on the scene, all that went through the door and has gotten worst
@@jennybrandt5188Did you tell Trump and MAGA the same thing? Trump called Mexicans animals. You can't be hypocritical now. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="272">4:32</a> "a man of extraordinary moral and intellectual flexibility...", isn't that a requisite for becoming a trumpophant? Cruz, Graham, McConnell, McCarthy, Haley, DeSantis, all display that flexibility... to know trump is to turn on a dime.
A request is not needed to like or follow support or Trump. Just plain out giving a sh!t to the problems the unlovely left causes. And the future of or country. Turn on a dime what’s that suppose to mean? You are a sh! t talker. Just like the rest here!!!!
Lindsey Graham was a ‘never Trumper’ and warned his Republican party that - if Trump gets elected - the Republican Party would be lost forever. After that he continuesly licked the balls of his orange master, again and again. Till Jan. 6 for a moment but again humiliated himself and his party again. One example indeed of a long line of ‘boneless chicken’ men and woman. And yes: the party transformed into a creepy cult
Moral flexibility = the democratic party. First, they said that Biden was fit to serve a second term as president. Then they called for his resignation. Then they forced him out of the re-election process while saying that he can remain as president (at home) for the rest of his term. If Biden isn't fit to serve as president for his second term, why is he still in office? What about the people who voted for Biden to seek re-election? Their votes don't count? The democratic party is discounting the donors and the people who voted for Biden's candidacy. They turned on all of you so who is a Stepford wife now? Just turn your head and pretend none of this actually happened. That's what a good Stepford wife would do.
So if he bleeds on people, that shows strength? Trump can't win with you liberals. Nothing he does is right. Trump/Vance 2024! A vote for safety and strength!
Don't you know HE IS A TOUGH GUY. If he think so little of the people of the USA then go to a dictator led country. He is a spoiled little rich boy who never answered for anything. He needs to be locked up for his actions.
