Few people will talk about this, and fewer will even want to acknowledge it, but what Donald Trump did before the debate even began shows the measure of a real man's worth.
Trump and Carson
At the beginning of the ABC debate, each of the candidates were being introduced in a specific order. The first name called to the stage was Chris Christie. The applause was loud and lingered through the time when Martha Raddatz called the second candidate Ben Carson.
Dr. Carson did not hear his name called (easy to understand why when you listen to the video) and stood in the entry-way. The moderators, with their backs to the candidates, didn't notice his absence and called the third name on the list, Ted Cruz.
Ted walked past Dr. Carson and onto the stage. Carson remained in the awkward, and embarrassing position, 'no-mans-land', on-camera but out of sight of the live audience.
What happened next shows the remarkable character of Donald Trump.
The fourth name called was Donald Trump, but by then the back-stage crew and candidates were aware of Dr. Carsons' position. Trump slowly approached, and then realized the embarrassing position of a fellow candidate hanging in the wind.
Trump showed his leadership by standing right next to his friend, and not walking onto the stage.
The other names continued to be called, and proceeded as mentioned. But not Donald Trump, he remained with his colleague thereby reducing the internal anxiety felt by Carson.
It would have been very easy for Trump to walk by Ben, just like all the other candidates did. But instead he chose to wait, and remove the embarrassment factor by infinite magnitudes.
Then, like a boss, when Dr. Carson was called to the stage, Trump waited and allowed Ben to get the audience response and appreciation. It takes a lot of courage to make split second decisions like this, and it shows a remarkable insight into the man's character.

I guess my recent, thoughtful, posts settled your hash.
>>Why does Calgary Cruz make such classless comments?
You do remember it was Trump who made them, yes?
You’re right. Calgary Cruz makes such classless comments.
But, you seem to have no restraint.
No restraint and a room temperature IQ always leads to an ass whippin’.
What order was used to call the candidates? Random, alphabetical or rank from polls?
#286 Thanks for the nice consise,fact based retort /s
It is a level above what one can expect from most of the trumpetts LOL
You didn’t rate any more than that. In fact I was being generous. Run along now, and maybe go back to cutting out little paper dolls.
#288 True or false? Donald Trump attempted to take an old lady’s home after she told him she didn’t’ want to sell. Did Donald Trump with his Atlantic City Politicians attempt to take it thru eminent Domain?
He used the Politicians and court to abuse the old Lady.
It took a Judge to tell Trump and his poitical cronies from A.C. to say no!
Then the N.Y. Messiah lies during the debate about it.
Did you get into the beer barrel early today?
Do you all fly together from thread to thread or just wait for one to howl then you all attack?
Geez, it’s just like a Marcobot - Cruzbot loose on the thread, quacking the same index-card talking points over and over and over and over...
"took an old lady's home!" "Rawwk!"
"took an old lady's home!" "Rawwk!"
"took an old lady's home!" "Rawwk!"
"Cruzbot want some poutine!" "Rawwk!"
#313 and just like Marco Rubio when confronted with undisputed facts, regarding the N.Y.Messiah you resort to drive by half truths and incinuations then finish with a couple of prefabricated sentences of spin and smears to deflect.
Go watch the Super Bowl, and stuff some Doritos in your pie hole.
#314 thank you for demonstrating why you support a man that bragged about committing adultery with another mans wife. Maybe when it happens to you or a child of yours you will get more in touch with the problem with it.
Until then it clearly explains why you support someone with such low morals and ethics he would destroy multiple families and then brag about it in a book just because he was self centered and selfish.
Go Brincos!
Dig in!
Timbits fer dessert!
Izzat the Calgary Brincos?
Well, then - Go Brincos!
