This was a totally unscripted moment. And Trump passed the test. Everyone else failed.

A video of that is here:

Was that before or after King Trumpy said Carson was like a pedophile? Sheesh...

there was a Repuplican debate

Repuplican? Is that the party for people who like small dogs or for folks who enjoy camping?

I remember that. Trump kind of went out with Carson as to not make Carson look bad.

A memorable moment. One of those impromptu reactions that gives insight in to what a man is made of.

It does not take a professional profiler to understand Trump is the real deal. Passionate, concerned, supercharged energy, dedicated and not oppressed or stifled by political correctness. And he didn’t need to go through any of this.

Since he started his run he has received many death threats, even serious threats directed at his family members. Mass murdering cartel kingpins worth billions have threatened him. Every crowd is a potential threat. He could instead be on a yacht in the Bahamas drinking margaritas or anything else he wanted to do.

Sometimes I wonder if America deserves a real leader.

Donald Trumps thoughtfulness is indicative of his character, and sadly lacking in the other candidates that were present.

I agree. That did separate the ‘man’ from the ‘politicians.’

I know people who know Trump. This is who he is: Flawed (who besides Christ isn’t) but trying his best.

That is the mark of a man!

A man who thinks it's ok to use the women's restroom.

Although I am a Trump supporter, I would respectfully submit that we are going to need a lot more than that to capture the Swing and Dem votes we need to win in November.

In one day he backtracked on Abortion, Immigration, Taxes, and Transgender bathrooms.

Now it’s announced that he’s transitioning to a National Campaign, meaning moving further left.

Proving he’s the self-serving opportunist we always knew he was.

Didn’t you see the footage of Trump 5 minutes prior to the event you describe?

He graciously held the door for man in a dress who was going into a girls bathroom right behind a 5 year old girl.

I could not agree more. My wife and I were watching; it was a revealing moment. There are many other stories as well.

When I was a teenager, I was a nationally ranked bicycle racer. I raced against Greg LeMond and met him and many other champions from that time period. The thing that struck me about Greg LeMond was what outstanding sportsmen they were.

When Lance Armstrong was at the top of his game, Greg LeMond raised a red flag about Armstrong’s close association with Dr. Ferrari. LeMond was attacked ruthlessly by Armstrong and his followers, he was vilified, and it cost him his business and millions of dollars. At that time I was a big Lance Armstrong fan so this created turmoil for me, because I knew LeMond well enough to know that he was an honorable person.

For me this election has had many parallels to the Lance Armstrong situation. I started as a fan of Cruz, but through this election season the candidates true colors have been revealed. I believe that both Lance and Cruz are great men, but they are both fatally flawed. And they are both flawed because their fathers abandoned their families. To me it is amazing how similar their personalities and behaviors are. Both of them believe that lying and cheating is OK if it benefits them.

I commented at the time, that Trump standing with Carson was absolutely the most important message of the entire debate.

When Cruz waffled about standing by ‘the pledge’ to support Trump if he were the candidate, the same side of Trump was shown. Trump said he saw Cruz agonizing over answering. And you couldn’t miss the sincerity in his reply that Cruz didn’t have to support Trump, Trump didn’t want Cruz to ‘feel uncomfortable’. Just as Trump didn’t want Carson to feel uncomfortable or awkward standing there alone.

Trump is the real deal. He’s genuine on a level we can all identify with.

So the Bible thumping Ted Cruz just walked on by. I believe it.
