Trump: Kaepernick 'should find a country that works better for him'
Washington Examiner ^ | August 29, 2016 | Al Weaver

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fired back at San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick Monday over not standing during the national anthem.

During a radio interview with Seattle-based radio host Dori Monson, Trump said that he wasn't a fan of the move, saying Kaepernick should "find a country" that would suit him better.

"I have followed it, and I think it's personally not a good thing. I think it's a terrible thing," Trump told the host. "Maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try. It won't happen."

The GOP nominee also continued critique of former Rep. Anthony Weiner after Huma Abedin, his wife and a top aide to Hillary Clinton, announced their separation Monday morning. Trump called him a "sick person," adding that he isn't sure if people like Weiner can "get cured" of what ails him...

I wonder if they played the ISIS anthem at the game if he would stand and salute that

No doubt the left will try that. But that’s exactly what’s gotten him here: being bombastic.

No; that conclusion would be an error. What has gotten him here is that people want change, he is talented and fearless, has better ideas and is not a politician. Even with that, he is very unpopular. We just need to ask God for mercy and for Clinton to be more unpopular.

Well, we’re not gonna agree on that. ;)

Fence-sitters will find any excuse they can to vote for Hillary. Because, deep down, they love how Obama is wrecking the country. If it makes them feel good about their 401k’s.

The financial day of reckoning is coming, though. And they’re outta tools. Well, except QE4, I suppose.

Ah, my good friend Puddleglum. Be persuasive. Pray without ceasing that God will show us mercy and enable Donald Trump and Mike Pence to be our next President and Vice President, leading with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. It can happen.

“Kaepernick is what happens when the mouth tries to write checks that the talent can’t cash...”

By October, he will be just a memory.
