He mentioned Patton as and of his heroes last night in NH
Click the link in post 19.
As you know Hoosiermama I’ve had fun posting this....
Here’s some similar quotes by both Patton and Trump....
Patton....”Politicians are the lowest form of life on the earth”
Trump.....”Our leaders are stupid. Our politicians are stupid”
Patton....”I win where I fight”
Trump.....”I keep whining until I win’
Patton.....”Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more”
Trump.....”When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.
Patton....”Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn’t give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war.
Trump ....”When you have people that are cutting Christians’ heads off, when you have a world, at the border and in so many places … that it’s medieval times … We don’t have time for tone. ..We have to go out and get the job done.”
Cnn has the return.
Since Trump went to military school age 13-18, I will bet he could add to your excellent list of Patton quotes.
Indeed. Around 2/3 of the way through I thought, “Such an amazing communicator, I haven’t seen anything like this since Reagan. Wait ... Reagan wasn’t THIS good!”
Ahh...you mean the GOPe game that Sundance described?
Interesting and if so I love it!
My husband was skeptical about Trump but the other day - after being at the local airport where all the pilots hang out - he said “Trump is the guy who can fix this mess”.
I’m pretty sure all the airplane people were talking about Trump.
And, he’s still a handful.
At first discipline. (He was following not leading also suggested) .Later it appears his friends were there and he chose to stay.
One article suggested that his mother Mary recognized his low self esteem and with Norman Vincent Peale influence of positive thinking created the boastful attitude
Not familiar with. Sundance.
My favorite comment so far. Some dumb journalist asked which woman he wanted on front of $10 bill. He answered “my mother”
Sundance writes a blog called The Conservative Treehouse that I usually find at Breitbart. Extremely interesting and he lays out the GOPe plan to fracture the opposition so that Jeb eventually gets the nomination.
Here is a sample:

If Jeb gets the nomination, say hello to the next Democratic president. I guess it’s more important to the GOPE to have the candidate of “their” choice, than to turn this country around. OF course, we all know it’s because Jeb can be told what to do by his puppet masters.
Yes, the GOPe doesn’t mind being second banana to the rats...because they can still play the game - “we’re gonna get ‘em next time - just send money” - or worse, pretend to resist the rat policies while they actually enable them. This is what we’ve been seeing lately with Mitch and Boehner.
If conservatives take over the party lots of GOPe will lose their jobs - that is what matters to them, not the country.
Oh that was funny...but what a stupid question...
Thanks Aria
