I’m blown away by everyone who continues to defend the thin skinned Trump. If someone calls him a name or says something derogatory about him, he goes on a rant. Trump is ruining his chances with his constant whining and insults.
He’d do himself a favor by ignoring critics and giving us more detailed plans for making our country great again. Stop with the childish behavior! If he becomes POTUS, he’ll get LOTS of criticism and so far he’s demonstrating he can’t handle any.
That’s what the President Bushes did. Didn’t work.
LOL - you're kidding, right? Trump's AT THE TOP of the polls. It's Jeb who's at 6% - what 'advice' do you have for Jeb?
As I've been trying to point out.
You are missing the impact of negative publicity. When Trump is attacked he fights back with excessive force, driving his critics into the ground. This is precisely how he remains on top.
Not sure you know what a rant is.
Trump has presented more ideas and promoted more pro-America issues than every other candidate combined save for Cruz.
I assume your favorite hasn’t run out of money yet. Yet. lol
Bless your heart....
“If someone calls him a name or says something derogatory about him, he goes on a rant. Trump is ruining his chances with his constant whining and insults.”
I think you are an idiot, and I can be confident in thinking that I will not hear a peep out of you because you believe responding to anything derogatory anyone says about only amounts to going on a rant and whining and I don’t think as sensitive as you are will be hypocritical and do what you fault Trump for doing.
I’m a Trump supporter but your points are very valid. Even my teenage daughter said she wants to hear more of Trump’s policies. We watch the debates together and she noticed the lack of substance from Trump. I think Trump should spend more time becoming knowledgeable on foreign policy for the next debate instead of allowing FOX to disrupt his game plan. The next debate will be critical. I said it first.
How well is that plan working for the rest of the candidates? This news story clearly shows that Trump gets what he wants.
I'm blown away by people who keep whining about Trump supposedly whining. You don't respect or tolerate the enemy. You stand up to it and beat it into submission, which is what Trump is doing.
You mean like all the other thick skinned Republican candidates who have suffered the same interrogations as Trump? Oh that's right there haven't been any!
From the very 1st debate question about going 3rd party and which, BTW, was aimed directly at Trump and NOT the rest of the candidates it has been non stop pounding of Trump.
Might help if you took your head out of the sand. Trump has already published his detailed plan on immigration, 2nd amendment and foreign trade. COming this week is his tax plan.
“If he becomes POTUS, he’ll get LOTS of criticism and so far he’s demonstrating he can’t handle any.”
Really? It looks to me like he’s handling the criticism quite well. Those who have been doing the criticism are about to kowtow. Apparently you would prefer that he channel Mitch Mcconnell and stand around and wring his hands.
No, what you’re complaining about is not that he can’t handle criticism, but that he’s not surrendering to it.
“I’m blown away by everyone who continues to defend the thin skinned Trump.”
Are you f*king kidding me? He’s not thin skinned. He’s defending himself from criticism, as everyone has the right to do, and as we all should do. It sounds as if you’ve gone to the dark side after 30+ years of PC brainwashing where everyone has to be niiiice, no matter how badly we’re abused and wrongly accused. No! We don’t have to be nice. We have to take a stand and defend ourselves. We just have to deprogram the crap we’ve been fed for so long.
Trump is making me brave again. I’m in a social group where three of us are conservative and one is a raving liberal. The lib has had us cowed for four year by doing what libs do, loudly shutting us down and bullying us. Some issues are minor, e.g., we were discussing a project and I said it’ll take about 30 man hours to do. She corrected me, “You mean, ‘PERSON’ hours.” I changed the subject. The lib demeanor is so intimidating.
This week Obamacare came up. Another lady mentioned a truth about how bad a certain aspect of it is and I added my two cents. Lib Lady decreed in her condescending voice, “Now, we have to be careful what we say...” I interrupted her, “No. We don’t have to be careful what we say! We have opinions, too!” This time SHE shut up.
It was small but I was happy. I didn’t die. Doubt I’d have never responded if I hadn’t heard Trump not back down so many times.
Well, thin skin or not, I think most freepers agree that it is refreshing to watch a candidate “on the right” of the political spectrum finally see the leftists media for what is (the enemy!) and call them out each and every time!
Gradually, and you can see it already, these little lefty reporters are beginning to behave themselves AND other candidates, watching Trump, are beginning to find their balls too.
So, all in all, Trumps combativeness with the press is a good thing! They are long over-due for a REAL challenge!
Yeah, you’re right. Trump should do like all the other candidates and get out there and make promises saying exactly what they will do then tell their voters to take a hike once they win. /s
