Charles Barkley takes on Donald Trump, 'loser' supporters
United Press International ^ | December 12, 2015 | Alex Butler

NEW YORK, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- NBA on TNT has a crew of large former players with even bigger personalities.

So it was no surprise Thursday, when Charles Barkley went off script to comment on presidential candidate Donald Trump and his supporters.

"He started out by insulting Hispanics...now to lump all the Muslims together, that's even more insulting," Barkley said. "This is the United States of America, this is the greatest place in the world. Do we have issues? Of course we have issues. But to try to divide and conquer, which is what the Republicans always try to do, is just sad."

"Then you have these losers who love that, because they're afraid to look in the mirror and see why their life sucks. So they have to blame other people. Your life sucks because of you, not because of Hispanics."(continued)

Trump sure is exposing a lot of things. Fox News. Paul Ryan. Beck.

ANY conservative can see Trump is moving things to the right which benefits us all.

95 Million Americana out of the workforce, yet mysteriously we have only a 5% unemployment rate. Our economy is in the tank, and has been for the past 7 years (mysteriously, again, ever since Obama and the DNC took ownership of this country).

How dare we even question the decisions that are being made, by an incompetent president, and Congress that is enjoying historic lows in public opinions. As a country, we are plumbing new lows in our history in every metric that we can measure - so if we question the “why” and “hows”; why, obviously we must all be “racist”.

How is this news? Our mainstream media has devolved to cheap tabloid status, so sad.

I have to say I sure hope Donald Trump and Ted Cruz can avoid criticising each other.

But Trump is being subjected to a huge amount of negative spin by opponents on the left (and) the right, let’s be honest.

Go Trump.

That's weird.

I don't remember axeing Charles Barkley for his opinion on Trump.

Couple years ago Barkley was stopped for speeding and ended up with a DUI . The cop asked him why he was speeding. He said he had to get back to this street hooker because she gave him the best BJ he ever had.

I was quite surprised when even Mark Cuban joined the bandwagon against Trump.

"This is the United States of America, this is the greatest place in the world. Do we have issues? Of course we have issues.

Apparently one of the biggest issues we have is wealthy uneducated athletes and other celebrities that are either to lazy to read what someone actually said versus what a biased media reports or too stupid to think for themselves. Or worse yet, so full of themselves that they believe they have the right to tell others how to live. Charles Barkley, YOU resemble that!

The establishment and their media whores are coming out of the woodwork to throw feces at Trump nonstop, trying to mislead the voters against him. You can smell their desperation. It kinda smells like victory.

And I'm not a big fan of any of the candidates, but the one I don't want anywhere near the levers of power is the one I hate, and you know who she is.

Another “The Constitution is a suicide pact” believer as long as he’s protected by his gated community and body guards. Guess it’s a “Rich Privilege” thing.

Or 91, give or take a 5 point margin of political correctness value- by unspecified inherent racial bias, against intelligent human beings.
