Because nothing says Leader like using words to describe others as Fat Pigs, Liars, child molestors, losers, dull, dim, slimey, p$ssy and the F bomb etc. That is hardly "soft Spoken" nor is it a demonstration of Leadership. I would argue it actually demonstrates self worth issues along with the need to be the center of the attention. Narcassistic perhaps.
I grew up looking up to Ronald Reagan. The First time I got to vote when I turned 18 was to help Elect him President. Never once do I remember him EVER using that language. Perhaps you could prove me wrong? Yes I know some of those words Donnie threw at Rosie O'Donut but Reagan had much worse vindictive, petty language used towards him by Members of Congress, the press and Hollyweird but yet he didn't return fire.
Won't happen. They will retread. Bank on it.
I hated iJeb before ijeb did.
Thanks for posting the link. I have to give you credit for finding the earliest critical comments about the war by Trump that I have seen any record of.
I will say that his comments in this article are critical of how the war was being fought and not necesarily of the war itself. Also, this article is also from after the war started rather than in the lead up to the war. In fact, he publically supported it in November of 2002 just four months before the start of the war.
That said, I will post the relevant part of the article you linked since I do think that it does show that he was beginning to question the war strategy earlier than most people.
“Donald Trump, with Amazonian beauty Melania Knauss at his side, pronounces on the war and the stock market: “If they keep fighting it the way they did today, they’re going to have a real problem.”
Looking as pensive as a “Nightline” talking head, the Donald concludes, “The war’s a mess,” before sweeping off into the crowd.”
“Ah so he was for the war before he was against it?”
Do votes by senators mean more than off-the-cuff comments by businessmen?
Cruz helped Paul Ryan with TPA, he lobbied for it, said Sessions did not know what he was talking about when Sessoins warned about immigration language in TPA, helped Ryan get it out on the floor for a vote, then voted for it.
When TPA came back from House (passed) and they had to vote for it again, since Cruz’s vote was not needed to get it passed, his globalists handlers allowed him to vote against it. TPA will make TPP easier to pass and will destroy the economy of the United States along with its sovereignty. Rubio voted for it too. Cruz was for it before he was against it.
Next is the Corker bill. Cruz rightfully resisted it, but when the vote came up he voted for the bill (also Rubio). Cruz has the gall to claim he voted for the bill so he could use the bill to stop the bill (and Obama). Cruz now goes about the country condemning the bill, but neglects to point out that he and Rubio voted for the bill, and Levin and Limbaugh, who both condemned the bill, also keep that hidden from the voters.
Cruz was against the bill before he was for the bill and is now against the bill.

Those were the words Rosie threw at Donald, first, I might add. And he was no where near running for president. George Washington was supposed to have been able to cuss the bark off trees.
He didn’t really call Carson a child molester, but I am not going to try to defend that.
He did not use the F-bomb.
You need to read up on words commonly used in the English language before Shakespeare and the Victorians cleaned it up.
I grew up Southern Baptist, liked to read the Bible. You need to read Matt. 24 and see what names Jesus called the Parisees. Evidently, people would faint today.
trump just yesterday said he is a christian. What does the good book say about bearing false witness against anyone ? I am not talking about what people called him but rather his inability to be a true leader, turn the other cheek and rise above it.
Like RR did!
John “Flip-Flop” Kerry has nothing on Trump. I am getting tennis match whiplash trying to keep up
“What does the good book say about bearing false witness against anyone ?”
For crying out loud, have you seen the things Cruz’s campaigns has said and does? The social media has turned him into a joke.
Not to mention that Carson still holds a grudge.
Cruz says Trump is for partial birth abortions will take our guns, will appoint liberal judges that will shred the Constitution etc. The abortion thing is based on a 20 year old interview.
He claimed Bloomberg was a great Mayor and He also supported the A. W. B.
He also said his radical sister and Judge Pryer were judges that would make great SC Justices
BTW I didn't miss that you refused to address my point. ;)
“He also said his radical sister and Judge Pryer were judges that would make great SC Justices”
Judge Pryer is known as a conservative judge.
His sister is about eighty years old. Do you honestly think he would try to nominate a 80 year woman to the Supreme Court? He was asked about his sister. He was flattering her. He loves her. Do you expect him to go off on a rant about what a horrible liberal fool she is.
His sister was appointed by Ronald Reagan.
What point did I refuse to address?
You Cruz bots are absolutely pathetic.
For the record Trump has a bigger lead in South Carolina than he did in New Hampshire.
