Donald Trump said Tuesday that Bernie Sanders "showed that he's weak" by allowing #BlackLivesMatter protesters to take his microphone during a weekend event in Seattle.
And Trump -- the Republican presidential contender who, he said, is attracting the biggest crowds to campaign events along with the Democrat Sanders -- vowed: "Believe me, that's not going to happen to Trump."
"I would never give up my microphone. I thought that was disgusting. That showed such weakness, the way he was taken away by two young women -- the microphone; they just took the whole place over," Trump told reporters during an evening news conference before speaking to a Republican group in Michigan.
"That will never happen with me," he said. "I don't know if I'll do the fighting myself or if other people will, but that was a disgrace. I felt badly for him. But it showed that he's weak."
Michael Briggs, a Sanders campaign spokesman, declined to comment about Trump's criticism on Tuesday.
Sanders wasn't Trump's only target on Tuesday.
Asked by Fox News' Sean Hannity during an interview if raising the Monica Lewinsky affair against the Clintons in a hypothetical matchup between he and Hillary Clinton would be fair game, Trump said: "I guess it is. Look, (Bill Clinton) would have had a much different presidency if he didn't have Monica and all of these things that happened. ... If anything, they probably won't be doing too much talking about it, but certainly it's fair game. I guess anything is fair game."(continued)

How much of that is astro-turf, and how much of it is real?
Just what it sounds like.
Oh.
So, it’s okay again to call African-Americans “black”? I cannot keep up with what is politically correct anymore.
CAN’T WAIT for Trump to fight some “Gangsta” Gibsmedat POS on national TV!
He’ll go up at least 10% with real working people
How can you not appreciate an attack on PC nonsense.
Pray America is waking
That was incredibly weak.
Lets see, Dems have a pile of garbage for candidates.
Hillary- criminal, lying, hag
Bernie- kook old socialist who Putin would squash like a gnat
Biden- hasn’t announce but may soon- gaffemaster, plagiarist buffoon
O’Malley- also weak, Putin would squash like he was an ant. mostly a failure. But he has a geetar. heh
Webb-probably best of the lot, but he hasn’t a chance in the brain dead goofball party
Normally I would say why worry.
But...the US is filled with clueless knuckleheads on the dole.
Comrade Bernie got seriously p****whipped.
Perhaps it was just Bernie’s time of the month.
Old Fart chiming in here...50's we were told to not use the word Negro anymore but instead use the word colored.
60's we were told to use the word black because "No one colored me!" was the mantra.
70's up through present we were told to use the term African-American because of the mythological TV series Roots. (It was also about this time that names that do not make any sense at all were started. Male names usually ended in an "N" or "N-sound" such as D'Juan and Antoine. Female names usually ended in an "A" such as Tanesha, Trashondra or, my favorite, L-A which is Le-Dash-A.)
Multiple confusion has resulted as the terms "Black" "African-American" "Person of Color" are now used by different subsets of their...um...culture as these names and monikers associate them to a continent with which they have as much in common as they do the Man in the Moon.
And now we have the term "Teen" which the LSM has adopted to refer to any marauding band of feral youths who FReepers refer to as Amish.
Thus I now use the terms "Teen" and "Post-Teen" when referencing them so as not to offend their delicate sensibities.
It was very pathetic. He stood in the back looking like a whipped dog.
He badly damaged himself.
Anyone gonna for a this "forceful" presidential candidate? He looks like the older version of Pajama Boy and makes even Bush look good.
