Donald Trump: I could ‘shoot somebody’ and still have support (audience laughing and clapping)
Washington Post ^

Posted on 01/23/2016 12:36:42 PM PST by springwater13

"They say I have the most loyal people - did you ever see that? - where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters," Trump said, illustrating his point by pulling his fingers into a gun shape. "Okay? It's like incredible."

The crowd laughed and clapped, and someone in the audience shouted out love for the candidate.

"We love you, too, man," Trump said.

Trump's comment came during a campaign rally Saturday at Dordt College in northwest Iowa. The 1,500-seat theater completely filled, hundreds more watched his speech from an overflow room.

Of course, the media neglects the context of the quote. The audience ate it up and were laughing and clapping and shouting their love for Trump.

Everyone gets the joke except the liberal media and Cruz supporters.

He thinks it’s funny because it has the ring of truth in it.

It’s a tight race, but I think the Cruz birthers will win that race.

Cruz supporters would love people on Fifth Avenue to be shot. After all, didn’t we have an orgy of New York hate just three days ago? Now, they’re concern trolls!

Are these Cruz people being paid to post this? Do you knuckleheads realize how many times this has been posted already?

As I’ve already mentioned in another thread; Cruz supporters can spend all day posting anti-Trump pieces, but don’t appear excited or enthused to tell everyone about Cruz’s rally today with Glenn Beck. Very telling indeed!

It's a joke but why would he say it? What does it tell you about what Trump thinks about his followers and whether they would object to his lawlessness in office?

How did you know about that?...we figured that it would be the perfect place to accept Donald Trump’s total and complete surrender. It’s only a matter of time, really. All the polls show it. Once the field narrows, we win.

The Cruz people get it.

It’s just some of them stupidly think Trump supporters are mindless so goofy posts like this will easily be ate up and believed.

And what did Ted Cruz going to the Southern border with Glenn Beck to pass out soccer balls and teddy bears to ILLEGALS tell us about his view of Amnesty?

Actually, they Barry and Hildabeast have really shot people and gotten away with it. Trump just jokes about it. Bill and Hill have shot at least a hundred people who got in their way. I haven't kept track of Barry, although he's been responsible for numerous police shootings and riots, plus a few more direct murders.

Ted Cruz Waterloo Rally with Glenn Beck **LIVE THREAD** Jan 23 8PM EST

Umm, the event website says it is a Glenn Beck rally with special guest Ted Cruz. Interesting that CSPAN is broadcasting a rally for a television personality, but hey, stranger things happen.

Probably just a mistake in how the event was created and certainly not an attempt to evade any election or finance laws...

90% of his supporters say they’re not moving. No other candidate has that loyalty. That’s why he said it but it was funny when he said it....nothing more.
