Donald Trump: I could ‘shoot somebody’ and still have support (audience laughing and clapping)
Washington Post ^

Posted on 01/23/2016 12:36:42 PM PST by springwater13

"They say I have the most loyal people - did you ever see that? - where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters," Trump said, illustrating his point by pulling his fingers into a gun shape. "Okay? It's like incredible."

The crowd laughed and clapped, and someone in the audience shouted out love for the candidate.

"We love you, too, man," Trump said.

Trump's comment came during a campaign rally Saturday at Dordt College in northwest Iowa. The 1,500-seat theater completely filled, hundreds more watched his speech from an overflow room.

I’ll give you that much - he keeps saying things which push the envelope and keeps the narrative from being about his liberal positions on the issue. This is what they’ll be talking about instead of the focus on his opposition to private property rights.

Right - he’s marveling as to how he has people eating out of his hand - no matter what he does.

Do we know if Trump plans to kill the families of the people he shoots at random on the street?

Don’t take anything Trump says seriously.

Isara and others Cruzers,

Do you take rest at all? Whole day you just spend time to find anti-trump article and post whole at least 15 times.

Are you a paid campaign employee?

Its like a while with infinite loop.
I think if you check inside while loop
e.g
int i=0;
while (Trump==false){
if (i <=5)
exit;
i++;
}
return true;

If some knucklehead rushes him with a weapon I would have no problem with him shooting them . I know he packs ( sometimes )

Trump and his supporters knew what Cruz meant but they wanted to feign butthurt and play PC when it suited them.

There are some that just have lost all sense of humor!

“What does it tell you about what Trump thinks about his followers and whether they would object to his lawlessness in office?”

Reminiscent of John Lennon’s were bigger than Jesus quote.

An "orgy of New York hate?"

Please be serious. As a former New Yorker whose kids still live in New York City we all knew exactly what he meant by "New York values." Republicans are outnumbered in the City by 7 to 1; conservatives are more like 20-1. If you don't know that, you must be incessantly looking at the floor whenever you walk, take a cab, or ride the subway.

Yes, I know, he's a "straight talker" when he says something his followers want to hear, but doesn't mean what he says if it isn't what you want to hear.

Maybe he's "just joking" about illegals. After all, he makes money from their labor. Or Mooslims. After all, the Saudis are "deal-makers."

In other words, Trump is happy that his supporter are emotional & intellectual cripples.

I saw this live. It was a joke

Tell us about the rally.

Isn't it amazing? You'd think by now most people would get Trump's sense of humor.

Congratulations. You’ve graduated to a HuffPo-level of discourse. (HuffPo is trumpeting this all over FB right now. And saying exactly the same thing as you guys.)

Humorless.

Try reading the entire excerpt. Read it slowly and carefully. And in context. That whole ‘they say’ thing? And “they” do ‘say.’ It’s a paean to his supporters.

Is this really what some of you guys have reduced yourself to?

Honestly, it would be like if I said I believe Cruz will enforce the border with the IRS. It’s a joke, and I know it’s a joke.

Even as a joke, it’s stupid and arrogant and shows his narcissism and lack of class.
