I don't have much respect for Cook, but I wish he stood up for climate change today.
Hopefully there was a push behind the scenes.

Cook is a strong left democrat. We all know this. He hates the fact Trump won the election. At least Cook will meet with Trump and talk with him like a civilised adult. Unlike all the protestors who only whinge like little children.

Why lie? Pence only wants the best for Indiana and the USA. It's the anti Pence rabble that made up **** like this.

Not this guy. If Tim sees a amway to make more money he will do it. Principles be damned.Who even gives a s*** what happened at this meeting?
Yet, some supporters at the thank you tour still yelled "lock her up"...
Many republicans thought Obama wasn't American and incited such beliefs for years. So... yeah. If you want to play that game.
There are a lot of people who are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. They are traditionally known as libertarians (though I don't think Tim Cook is part of the libertarian party, and neither am I). It's not an inherently hypocritical way of approaching politics. I certainly wouldn't say it's "having your cake and eating it too."
this isn't really being quiet. this is saying outloud you're going to buy a Windows laptop.
People in Indiana don't get out much. Once Pence sees how nice and open minded most gay people are he'll change his stripes.
I hate labels like "liberal" and "conservative". There are some "liberal" policies I agree with and some "conservative" policies I agree with, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with everything on a particular side.

Of course, they won't see the issue of their candidate despite he did the following:
1. Avoided draft multiple times.
2. Avoided taxes.
3. Shipped jobs overseas.
The list goes on...
Trump won "bigly" among a minority of the population. Recounts are perfectly appropriate.
Who the hell doesn't want to eat their cake?
Seriously though, the idea that socially liberal and economically conservative are mutually exclusive values has to die.

Authentic?
Says one thing and does the other...just like any politician.
He said the electoral college was a bad idea and then said it is a great idea the next time...
Just ask them why, they never have an answer, or a clue.
I doubt Cook would "meat" Trump, actually.
He's not lying. Pence supports conversion therapy, which doesn't work and is essentially child abuse.
Tim Cook is 100% correct. Business is business. He and Trump undoubtedly differ in their personal beliefs, but Trump is a business man and, frankly, Trump could help business with building up a domestic work force and bring cash back into the the United States. Tim Cook and Trump share a lot of business goals, regardless of any differences in personal values.
Cute story bro. Except Trump (the guy in charge) has publicly said he doesn't care if you are gay or strait as long as you do good job. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-bl...lgbt-community-donald-trump-is-not-your-enemy
*failed businessman with multiple bankruptcies and lawsuits for non-payment under his belt.
The American people are now Trump's "shareholders" and we are all screwed, just like the contractors and shareholders he has worked with in the past. Trump is in it for Trump.
He publicly said Hillary would make a "Great President".
Do you honestly believe anything he says?
When I saw the RNC (at Trump's acceptance speech) stand and cheer for his promise to protect the LGBT community, I knew something was shifting on the Right, and for the better. This moment was cemented when Trump went off script and said that it was special for him to hear THIS crowd cheering for what he just said. That moment got about zero play with the liberal media because it doesn't support their gloom and doom narrative, which it sounds like you swallow wholesale.
I'm not saying there won't be setbacks and yes, Pence has some old-fashioned views on homosexuality for sure, but nobody is going to force electroshock therapy on gays and the new commander in chief is fairly tolerant on this issue. Is that so hard to accept?
