Jimmy Kimmel Takes on Donald Trump, Says His Views Are "Un-American and Wrong"
US ^ | Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon

Posted on 12/17/2015 5:57:56 AM PST by Blue Turtle

Saying it how it is. Jimmy Kimmel invited presidential hopeful Donald Trump onto his show on Wednesday, December 16 — and gave the real-estate magnate a grilling on his controversial immigration and anti-Muslim views. The television appearance, which was rescheduled after Trump pulled out of a prior scheduled appearance, gave the GOP candidate a chance to explain some of his more outrageous policies.

Maybe Donald would have better luck with Adam Carolla.

Kimmel another communists Democrat. Sure looks like America is saturated with them. No matter which Republican wins the nomination, we will have a hard time getting the White House. America is so corrupt it may never survive.

I was surprised to learn 1/3 of his viewers are Republicans and 56.9 is the median age of his viewers.

“Some speculate Republican viewers have tuned Colbert out, given his Colbert Report incarnation as a blowhard conservative. (A THR poll showed Colbert’s audience is only 17 percent Republican, as opposed to 33 percent for Kimmel and 31 percent for Fallon.) “

At least Donald always takes the attitude of "it is free airtime" and Kimmel reaches a much more liberal and younger viewer base so that is also good for Trump.

Excellent point. Nobody is clearly working as hard to earn the support of as many different voter groups as Trump is. No matter what you think of him, his work ethic is impressive and would be taxing for men many years his junior. The man is a dynamo. His first 100 days should put FDR to shame.

I hope he starts to act like tne nominee and stop chasing Jeb and other folks who are going no place fast. Many folk miss the real issue with the Muslim immigration message. The current administration has no idea what it is doing and Hillary or Bernie will be more of the same. The only reason the libs have this liberal immigration policy is so there are more folks dependent on the government.

From this simple lightnening rod message, there are so many paths he can go down to draw a sharp distinction between his vision of America and the socialists he is running against.

Don't confuse effectiveness with intention. Obama's intentions were fortunately tempered by his ineffectiveness and lack of work ethic. It's one thing to campaign on a promise to "Make America Great Again", but unless that is backed up by effectiveness it just becomes another campaign slogan that's quietly shelved after the votes are counted.

Kimmel is actually a bit more conservative, if you have seen his prior shows. He is no Charleton Heston, but he is not a left wing freak either. That's just how the business is.

Did you watch the interview? This article mischaracterizes it.

A rumor circulating in some better Manhattan’s watering holes concerns a rumor of a meeting last February between Trump and Bubba at The Carlyle. The Carlyle has been the site of secret meetings often, though usually involving marital infidelity. Speculation is the two agreed to deliver White House to Hillary in return for future favors that would make Trump’s campaign spending a good investment. But according to one guy on Trump Properties legal team, Trump’s success has caused him to rethink his deal to simply wound the GOP and really go for the whole prize.

Everything in its time. Although many perceive Trump to be the de facto nominee (or even President-in-waiting) the reality is that the first actual votes won't be cast for another two months. I fully expect Trump to pivot and direct his guns where they are most needed as each leg of the race advances.

By the time he has the delegate count for the nomination sewn up you can bet that his full attention will turn to the presumptive democratic nominee.

All these liberals are suddenly experts on what is and what isn’t American.

OK, Jimmy-boy, lets move some unvetted Muslims into YOUR gated community-condo complex-luxury building-estate neighborhood or wherever you live, at your invitation. Walk the walk, Jimmy-boy!

Kimmel was not hostile at all.

Maybe we're falling into the liberal mindset that any "hard" question is viewed as hostile (racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.).

Trump was great. This article is nothing more than a hit piece. Here is the Tom Brady and Children’s Book video. Funny stuff.

A rumor circulating?

By whom, xkaydet? On a post at FR.

LOLOL.

I’ve recently visited some of “Manhattan’s better watering holes”. I didn’t hear any such ‘rumor’. So, there’s that.

No thanks. Go back to the NYSlimes with your ‘rumors’ and imaginary ‘sources’.
