Does tough guy Trupmp need coddling or can he handle the heat?
Sorry, Trump’s insulting style cancels out any sympathy from me on issues like this. His behavior is making the act of running for the presidency into a reality show, he needs to man up and accept the consequences of that or get out.
Nice job NKP. Good digging.
Excellent point and post.
Our Trumpsters can’t have it both ways, but sadly, they will - that’s how cultist’s operate. The mind has been taken over and no amount of rational thought will convince them otherwise.
So to recap - Six months ago, Donald the Entertainer, clearly knew who David Duke was and in fact rightly disavowed him, but just 2 days again, he said he didn’t know who David Duke (”I know nothing about David Duke”).
Clearly, the Donal is a liar or is brain-addled or both.
Why does Trump have to ‘disavow’ the KKK? Are we also going to have LaRaza, or the NAACP or the Black Caucus or the Hispanic caucus or any of the hundreds of race based groups disavowed? Is the GOP and/or whites so pathetic that they kowtow to all this one way race crap?
As a logical counterpoint Mr Trump routinely says he’s evolved or changed his mind or tthings so that mmaking a disavowal 6 months ago. Or 16 years ago is meaningless when you routinely say that you can be anything to anyone at anytime. Flexibility especially on moral issues is not always a good thing.
My point is not about Duke. It’s about Trump.
Trump can’t denounce someone in Aug 2015 and claim he never heard of him in Feb 2016. He blew the answer and is trying to cover his tracks.
I hope this madness stops after tomorrow, but I doubt it.
It’s not going to stop until we slay the beast. Now we’ve got a Romney connected sitting GOP senator threatening to go 3P. They fully intend to throw the election to Hillary if that’s what it takes to stop Trump.
Wow.
Then I heard a different interview. But Trump said this morning his earpiece was off and he couldn’t hear all what Trapper was saying. Anyone with a brain knows that Trump doesn’t want anything to do with the KKK or David Duke. He raised hell Saturday when an idiot showed up at one of his campaign stops wearing a KKK shirt that said “support Trump”, but of course the media is ignoring it.
TRUMP had better watch those in-the-tank “Hillary pushers”
in the media. (I suspect that Ryan was set up in the last
election with some substance that someone put in his glass
of water at his debate with Biden. Suspicious. The more of
that glass of water he drank, the more it seemed to make him
gulp like a guppy - & the more Biden grinned like a coon
flashing those pearly whites every time Ryan took another
gulp.)
Every election David Duke sends the republican money or endorsement. He is a player.
I’m betting he’s hired by enemies to endorse people.
He said he didn't know him and never met him. He never said he didn't know OF him. He gave a straight forward answer. The only ones that think it's weird are those who believe the liberal spin.
Fox and the rest of the media desparately trying to not cover all the endorsements Trump been getting, Sessions the big one and Huckabee to come today. Guess what Huckabee will probably say “the man says his earpiece was malfunctioning, and I believe him”!!
Tap dance around it all you want. David Duke endorsed Trump. Trump didn’t disavow it in any firm or believable manner. And the Democrat campaign commercial writers have their work done for them once again.
“David Duke endorsed Trump.”

Not officially anyways as of Feb 25.
WHY WOULD WE ELECT PRESIDENT A GUY WHO...?
Why would this country elect as president some guy who was known to regale friends with nigger* jokes, grew up with a boyhood hatred of slavery because his father regularly hired him out for heavy manual labor then confiscated his earnings, had a history of depression, was suicidal from time to time (in his defense, probably due to the death of his young son, but suicidal nonetheless) and eventually started an internecine war ostensibly to halt a slavery that was, due to its inherent inefficienty, fading out – and during which he thouroughly trampled the Constitution he claimed he was attempting to preserve – that took the lives of over 700,000 troops and civilians and...
What? Oh, yeah. That was LINCOLN! never mind!
*A corruption of another word now freely used by blacks around the world when referring to one another. To NOT have written the word here would be to accord the dark forces of political correctness an inappropriate and destructive victory of which Orwell’s Thought Police would be proud.
Why would we elect to the presidency and fellow who was well known for his hyperbolic and profane bluster during his campaigns and while in the office and..? That would have been Teddy Roosevelt who, when faced with a recurrance of the trouble with the muslims in the Med that plagued Mr. Jefferson, successfully backed them down.
Why would we elect president some guy who was not healthy and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day, married his fifth cousin then had a notorious affair with his secretary and...?
What? Oh, sorry, that was FDR!
And why would the American people put in the Oval Office a man who, while overseas running the war in Europe and another 3 pack-a-day smoker, was schtupping his secretary while his wife was back here tending to the family and just prior to D-Day, scheduled a poorly planned, ill-fated live-fire practice for the Normandy invasion (Exercise Tiger) that got over 700 American troops KILLED – HAD THEM BURIED IN A MASS GRAVE – THEN COVERED IT UP!
Oh, sorry. That was Republican DWIGHT EISENHOWER. Moving on...
How about another Democrat who, to his credit served honorably in the Pacific but DID manage to get his PT boat sliced in half by a Japanese destroyer but redeemed himself by getting his crew rescued. Running against Nixon in the 1960 race, this same married chap, whose handlers thought he was a bit “tense” before the first televised debate, took him out and got him laid. (That certainly relaxed him as he won the debate.) Once in office, this fellow had numerous extramarital affairs with mob molls and several Hollywood stars, Marilyn Monroe among them and...
Oh yeah. That was JFK. never mind.
(For an interesting aside re. that event and the role a leftist media type played in that debate, please see the footnote below. If you’ve watched the current debates, you understand that THEY STILL DO.)
And then there was this character from Texas who, after his friends counted the ballots and reported him barely ahead in a close race for the Senate, was shocked – just shocked –that the very night before the recount, would you believe it? — the courthouse burned down, destroying the ballots! Like Lincoln, “nigger” was a regular part of his crude vocabulary. This fellow was a notorious womanizer and drunk whose favorite technique for reprimanding errant subordinates was to call them into the lavatory while he moved his bowels. Classy, huh?
Then he...What? You say that was LBJ? never mind.
How in the WORLD could we elect to the presidency some guy who was a 60s socialist radical, later married one even more radical than himself, wangled multiple deferments from MILITARY SERVICE while other kids his age were humping through the bush in Vietnam dodging bullets and who was a woman abuser and engaged in sexual misconduct in the Oval Office with a young intern then, under oath, perjured himself about it and...
What? Oh, right, that was BILL CLINTON! never mind!
But why the heck would we elect some guy raised by grandparents and some pornographer — all three of whom were on FBI “Communist Watch” lists in the 50s and 60s (back when the FBI actually did its job of trying to protect US) – and whose mother posed nude for the pornographer before abandoning him and who has openly admitted to have been – and probably still is – a pot head and user of harder illegal substances and whose every action bespeaks a hatred for the nation he allegedly heads...
What? Oh, right. That’s BARACK OBAMA! never mind!
I haven’t researched all the other folks we elevated to the highest elected office in this country. If I did, I’m sure I’d find warts and blemishes on ALL OF THEM. And why would that be? BECAUSE, LIKE YOU AND ME, THEY’RE ALL IMPERFECT HUMAN BEINGS AND ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY.
Until some leftist “journalist” comes up with a fully documented list of reprehensible things MY candidate – who doesn’t drink or smoke and has raised his kids to be responsible, successful adults – has done to other folks, I’ll stick with TRUMP. And until these same media mavens provide me with a list of associates, friends, employees, clients and others he has screwed over and, further, convince me that he is attempting to prevaricate his way into the presidency (as the last guy did!) or that his profession of LOVE for America is as egregious a lie as the last guy told us, I’LL HANG IN THERE WITH TRUMP.
But my support for The Donald is based more on how the current crop (or is that crAp) of political elites and their media lapdogs and handmaidens are GOING NUTS because he is articulating problems in terms WE USE IN OUR CONVERSATIONS OUT HERE IN “FLYOVER COUNTRY”, AND NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW BEST TO ARRANGE THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE FOUNDERING SHIP CALLED “AMERICA”. Add in that he’s the only candidate who doesn’t need the job but, more importantly, DOESN’T NEED DOUGH FROM THE K STREET RENT SEEKERS WHO ROUTINELY BUY YOUR ALLEGED “REPRESENTATIVES” ON CAPITOL HILL and the rough talking, very UNPC, sometimes crude and impolite (read that “imperfect”) and that he has the “establishment” incompetents who created this mess WETTING THEMSELVES, Trump will remain my guy.
A fellow Freeper recently pointed out ANOTHER, rather strong reason for Trump to NOT GO ROGUE once in office:
I posted this:
“That said, should Trump win and go on prove to be but another undercover Judas Goat sent forth to lead us to the final holding pen of the One World totalitarian abattoir, that “explosive reaction” will make the extreme unpleasantness between 1861 and 1865 look like a peace rally!”
To which he replied:”
That’s why, despite what people say what trump will do, I think Trump loves his children and grand-children too much for that to be his legacy to them.”
Might want to toss that into your current equation!
Because the entrenched forces he faces have a 3 way program for dealing with outsiders (1. IGNORE; 2. DISCREDIT; 3. ELIMINATE), all we have to do is pray he REMAINS ABOVE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE through the debates, the election and, hopefully, on to January 20th, 2017 and an inauguration.

FOOTNOTE:
The 1960 Nixon-Kennedy Debates were directed by one Don Hewitt, creator of CBS’ “60 Minutes”. Hewitt told Nixon, who had a serious “5 O’clock Shadow” (beard, for you youngsters not familiar with that phrase) that he didn’t need to shave just prior to the program. Hewitt then directed the studio lighting to flatter Kennedy while arranging Nixon’s to make him look like an extra from “The Walking Dead”. Not satisfied, Hewitt slowly tightened the shot each time Nixon spoke so that his head loomed and filled the entire screen on TV sets all over the country. And as we all know, things that “loom” are clearly dangerous and should be avoided. The voters did so and, as we all know, Kennedy won.
I need to add that, warts and all, Kennedy did a pretty good job. While he got it completely wrong at the Bay of Pigs, he defused the Cuban Missile show down with the Soviets. And he was moving in the direction of unhooking our monetary system from the Fed (to which we PAY INTEREST on the currency they create from THIN AIR!), had begun speaking out about lowering taxes and getting us out of Vietnam. Some of us believe that’s why some folks blew off the top of his head on November 22, 1963. As with so many events like these, we may never know the truth.
And if it weren’t for Klansman Senator Robert Byrd, Hillary’s husband would’ve been successfully impeached. No Senator Clinton, no Secretary Clinton, no Hillary campaigns.
Well, the “Trump is Hitler” meme didn’t work, so now they are trying “Trump is KKK”.
That won’t work either.
