Donald Trump was in Iowa tonight and gave a speech to thousands of supporters in Fort Dodge. He blasted all of his opponents, especially Ben Carson, who he repeatedly mocked and spoke about for 9 minutes.
He even does a little stabbing scene before asking what the hell is wrong with Iowa that Ben Carson is so close to him in the polls.

And the funny thing is, Carson first came to national attention when he spoke at the 2013 Prayer Breakfast and warned people about being PC—much to the discomfort of Obama, who was sitting right next to him and was not happy at all.
But now his supporters seem to be succumbing to political correctness.
It's obviously FR's group of snowflakes, who see this as "microaggression" and who HATE Trump with a passion.
The things that people see as “boorish,” well, I probably understand this more than most because it’s very New York City, in a good way, or at least a cultural kind of thing. It’s an art form.
Someone once wrote long ago, In other parts of the country, people see you on the street and say hello, how are you. In New York, you’re more likely to hear something like, Hey, fatso, who told you you could come to my neighborhood?
It means hello, how are you. It means I love you.
I think if everyone watched all the speeches and interviews they would have a better sense of who he is. He grows on you like a favorite friend, like the great man that he truly is.
None New Yorkers make really stupid claims about New Yorkers, because when they visit there, they ask strangers how to get some place and that stranger just moved there, so doesn't know either. Or they see the hustle and bustle and get frightened by it. Then, there are the tourists who SLOWLY walk five abreast, blocking others from getting around them/stand there looking up at the buildings, and of course they're going to get barked at!
New York neighborhoods are like fairly good sized towns and people there DO say hello to each other.
There's a LOT about NYC that others just don't understand; though truthfully, the city has changed since I lived there and not for the better; especially now, with deBlowhard Commie in charge and so many damned ILLEGALS.
It isn’t just me and it is driving me nuts as well.
I agree with your post.
I recently saw a description of Trump, the lion, and the media as hyenas....
Trump has been pummeled and savaged for 5 months straight!
He’s got to be tired and maybe under the weather.....the media animals, at the first sign of weakness, will try to devour him.
Please pray.
If he goes down.......I think we’re done as a country.
Fwiw, Moses got tired too while leading the people to the Promised Land........he got a bit angry too......and God said ‘delegate’
But other than his sons, who does he delegate?
Everyone wants only Donald
Pray
this was a Trump counter punch Carson had to know was coming after belittling Trumps immigration plan earlier— Carson IS a weird bird.. Go Trump!
You are so right!!
That is not the plan.
Well said
“Cruz is down near the bottom, at 2%. Why do you think Democrats do not fear Cruz?”
Like everything else - lack of awareness of what who Cruz is and what he is capable of.
But now his supporters seem to be succumbing to political correctness
I enjoying asking his supporters why they support him. It is funny watching them explain because they cannot give reasons without looking foolish.
Actually, his supporters know that he is NOT calling Iowans and Americans idiots (remember, he included the entire country in that accusation).
He was referring to supporters of Ben Carson--calling them idiots for not taking a long hard look at what Carson has said in his book.
What Trump is saying in straight, unvarnished language is this: if it is true that Carson is hiding a violent pathology (Carson own words), he is basically insane. And if he is lying...well, he's a liar.
Either way, should this man be elected leader of the free world.
I don’t think Trump needed to mock Carson in quite the way that he did. Trump’s ‘belt-buckle’ display is the first time I’ve really been disappointed in anything he has done or said.
There are better ways to indicate that one finds Cason’s story lacking in credibility. That ‘mocking’ stuff isn’t necessary, and it turns a lot of people off. (I’ve already had my fill of a ‘snarky’ president.)
This won’t turn me away from Trump, but it was a disappointment, the first significant one.

he mentions child molesting will be what every network talks about tomorrow
Since Obama’s tenure began we have legalized and accepted: Queers marrying queers and adopting children, legal protections and special rules for transgender fruit and nuts along with special rights for them. Public bathrooms for all sexes and perverts...and the list goes on and on and on and the next thing will be child molestation.
Why are you surprised to think child molesting is something that Trump knows about that we don’t?
This is it in a nutshell. I don't understand all the hoopla over this speech. In politics, as in business, you take out your nearest competition. Trump is doing what it takes to be successful.
Exactly right.
Trump is using "anchors" to label Carson as either a liar or a person suffering from a pathological illness.
People who said he was tired and just ranting are missing the point.
This is part of the Trump's method of persuasion.
He has done it with each of his opponents.
Just wait until he gets to Hillary. He will utterly destroy her.
In fact, he has already laid the "anchor" of "criminal" on Hillary.
I agree. I hope this performance was an anomoly.
I daresay, among my relatives and friends, there are a few folks who could be shoehorned into the political category marked “liberal.” Most are not. But even though their instincts are conservative, they’re not married to a particular party, and I’m loath to admit it, but as Republicans, we haven’t given them compelling tho choices in the last few cycles. If we nominate trump this year, they will all vote otherwise. Many will go third party (as will I.) trump would be the single worst Republican candidate of out liftetime, a disaster, in our view.
