December 17, 2015, 05:38 pm Trump calls 'highly respected' Putin's comments a 'great honor'

By Bradford Richardson

“It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond,” the GOP presidential front-runner told supporters at a rally in Columbus, Ohio.

“I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect,” he added.

I’m simply saying you should post the entire quote. Not just the part that suits your argument.

You Cruz supporters have a bad habit of doing that type of thing.

I would like to think Putin is sincere here.

Its also meant as a insult in the face of the Boi-Pres, hopefully Val-Jar will tell him so since he’s not likely on his own to comprehend the subtlety.

I won’t say it. This is probably a wash for Trump. Some will see it as bad. Some good.

The cold war ended 25 years ago. The Soviet Union is long gone.

Time for everyone to get over Russia as the enemy.

And my last response was a response to the full quote. And it doesn't change a thing.

I already assumed that being "respected" meant being respected beyond Russia.

Trump may not be objective about Russia.
Is Ivana whispering in his ear?

I have watched you for many months. You troll Trump threads, and post anti-Trump posts. Why don^t you go on your preferred candidate’s threads and post something positive instead? I understand there is no cure for TDS.

remember in the first debate the moderator and Jeb bush tried to goad Trump into calling Putin a thug and trump told the audience that he was not going there because calling Putin a thug could possibly make it hard in the future for him when having to deal with Russia. I think that Putin saw that as a signal that if trump got into power that they could come to some understanding on issues of mutual concern.

It is obvious Americans are waking up. The GOPe preferred candidates for president are all imploding. Between Trump, Cruz & Carson there is enough delegates to defeat GOPe.

Putin is used to dealing with stupid people who drove the the U.S. into decline. No doubt the show of respect was genuine. He’s knows Trump is smart, created an empire and has little tolerance for BS or losing. Putin’s used to garden variety politician/lawyer types out of D.C. This is a whole new ball game for Putin and leaders everywhere. And no doubt many of those have big concern$ by now.

Absolutely. We should be friendly with Russia. I’m confident we can get along with Russia as we should. Way better to be respected friends with Russia than enemies. All out war between the two no one wants.

The reason Hollywood hates Russia is Russia’s stand against gay militancy and lavender propaganda.

The gay issue is a big reason our establishment hates Putin. Russia is Christian and pro-family, not pro-pervert

The Cruzer’s are going to say that our enemy is endorsing Trump.

No, and why are you always trying to stir things up?

Trump best tread carefully otherwise may get a lesson in getting played like a cheap fiddle.

Not likely.

Heck, I’m a Cruz guy and here I am defending Trump again.

Just because you like one candidate doesn't mean you have to dislike the other. I respect both Trump and Cruz. Each has his own different talents and skills.

Yea go ahead and post all crazy. Fact is I post in a myriad of thread topics.

After "many months of watching me" look at what set you off the deep-end:

Putin knows who is good for Putin.
You are embarrassing.
