The plot against Donald Trump
New York Post ^ | 10/17/2015 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 10/17/2015 1:11:42 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Back in the days of Richard Nixon and Watergate, Donald Segretti had a word for it.

Unfortunately, I can’t use that word in a family newspaper, but suffice it to say it had something to do with rats and everything to do with a vulgarism for political dirty tricks: using plants and double-agents in order to embarrass a candidate and boost their own man’s chances.

Last week it was GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s turn to get, well, ratfreaked.

A young woman at a campaign event in New Hampshire — self-righteous, hands on hips, a-quiver with indignation — popped up to declare, “I don’t think you’re a friend to women.” (“I knew I shouldn’t have picked her,” Trump immediately joked.)

Oops. Turns out that the woman, identified as Lauren Batchelder, 18, is a college volunteer for the fading candidacy of Jeb Bush.

Are Americans expected to wait until unemployment is 40%? Until education level has been reduced to that of Somalia? Until we have 55 million illegal aliens in country? Or until entire middle America has been left dead on the floor? Until we’re in debt 30 trillion?

>So we’re back to the personality cult, “all eggs in one basket” scenario I mentioned. I know you really believe Trump can fix all the above, there are many of us who doubt such a gaff ridden character can accomplish all this. He keeps on with his stupid gaffs, he won’t have the support he needs to get those things done.

I realize his cultists think he is superman, but there are a lot of us who are not in the cult.

Trump is the only guy in either party saying America needs to be about jobs in America.

That is a very powerful message.

Nobody else, is saying it. Nobody.

it would have worked out for America.

But it didn't, did it sport? Would of, could of, should of. And what did America get? 35+ years of corrupt business as usual. That's exactly what we've gotten.

Are Americans expected to wait until unemployment is 40%? Until education level has been reduced to that of Somalia? Until we have 55 million illegal aliens in country? Until entire middle America has been left dead on the floor? Until we're in debt 30 trillion?

We're out of time sport. America is broken bad. We need to make America great again and we better get it right soon.

I realize his cultists think he is superman

Gezzuz, so lets just keep everything business as usual?

What an utter waste of time you are.

Well; I am glad we agree that CRUZ would be an OUTSTANDING President.
As to TRUMPS statement; I don't think any body on this thread said it was one of the “greatest utterances a candidate could ever make”.
When any person is speaking off the cuff; that includes professional speakers, debaters, politicians, sales people, etc. they will say things that either don't make sense in context, or the choice of words just doesn't come out the way they would have chosen, given enough time to think a response through.
TRUMP doesn't use notes as far as I have seen up to this point, so his responses don't always come off the way you, I, or even he would like.
Hell, even with a functional teleprompter OBUNGHOLE manages to screw up all his speeches, get him off script and all you hear is UUHH, UUMM, IIHH, OOHH, I,I,I,I.
Cut the man some slack; I used to be on a debate team.
I used to argue my side of the issue, then half way through I would switch and argue the other side.
I usually won both sides according to the judges.
I am good at it, but impromptu even I will surly screw up occasionally.
The words just keep coming out of the mouth and you are trying to keep on top of the issue, some times the words just don't come out the way you would have wanted, or liked, it happens.
In my opinion; any body who has never screwed up when speaking publicly has either been scripted to the point of mindlessness, or is so sure of their position that no facts or other information can ever change their position.
I give you LIBERALS.

“No plot is needed, by inferring that 9/11 was George Bush’s fault, Trump is doing quite well bringing himself down.”

Jeb thanks you, bush-bot.
