Trump was as a domineering parent with Pence. Lesley Stahl wanted Pence to have his say, but Trump interrupted him much more than not. That was my feeling. Then Charles Pierce's came up.

Trump: A Lot Of People Think Ailes Will Run My Campaign
Fox News

Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that "a lot of people" thought former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes would run his campaign.
Trump said on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that, at first, he didn't want to comment on Ailes. Ailes announced he was leaving Fox last week amid sexual harassment allegations.
"But he's been a friend of mine for a long time. And I can tell you that some of the women that are complaining, I know how much he's helped them. And even recently. And when they write books that are fairly recently released, and they say wonderful things about him," Trump said.
"And now all of a sudden they're saying these horrible things about him. It's very sad. Because he's a very good person. I've always found him to be just a very, very good person," Trump continued. "And by the way, a very, very talented person. Look what he's done. So I feel very badly. But a lot of people are thinking he's going to run my campaign."

Mad as a hatter. Ailes was the least of it. Here's what the Guardian reported:
Donald Trump has claimed that the European Union was created to “beat the United States when it comes to making money” in an interview with NBC News.
Speaking to Chuck Todd, whom the Republican nominee has repeatedly berated as “sleepy-eyed”, Trump also said of the EU “the reason that it got together was like a consortium so that it could compete with the United States”.
The European Union was founded as the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952 in an effort to promote strong cross-border ties in Europe and avoid future wars. It has since evolved to a customs union and eventually to the transnational entity devoted to removing internal trade barriers, building a common market and a fiscal union. Its development and growth has been repeatedly supported by the United States under presidents of both parties.

Trump thought his support among women was getting too high so he decided to praise a serial sexual harasser and malign the women he harassed. Way to go!!

Team Trump clearly has support from the fringes of society—you know, your white supremacists and anti-Semites. As if that weren’t a big enough problem, Trump and his supporters and surrogates continue to give a platform to such views, particularly on social media. On Sunday, it was retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s turn. The former Obama administration official turned Trump adviser and one-time dark-horse VP pick, retweeted this clearly anti-Semitic remark. .. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/24/trump_advisor_lt_gen_flynn_apologizes_for_retweeting_anti_semitic_comment.html

In fact, I personally drafted the speech of the "Benghazi mom," Patricia Smith. In that speech, I concluded with the following line: "If Hillary Clinton can't give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency?" As a political speechwriter, that was something of a home run moment for me. The New Yorker called the speech "the weaponization of grief."
But weeks after the end of the 2016 GOP convention, I am confronted by an inconvenient fact: Despite what I wrote in that nationally televised speech about Hillary Clinton, I may yet have to vote for her because of the epic deficiencies of my own party's nominee.
