Trump to Pittsburg:

How ‘s Joe Paterno? Trump asks Pittsburgh crowd about dead Penn State coach

Pandering to local crowds is a staple of political campaigns everywhere, and Donald Trump’s is no different. But the key to successful pandering is knowing to whom you’re speaking and, of course, what you’re saying.

Trump was way off base on both those counts Wednesday, when he spoke before a crowd of supporters at a rally in Pittsburgh.

“I know a lot about Pennsylvania, and it’s great,” Trump said. Which is standard-issue stuff, but then things got awkward.

“How’s Joe Paterno?” Trump asked. “We’re gonna bring that back? Right? How about that whole deal?”

Paterno, for those who may have forgotten (including, possibly, a certain presidential candidate) died in 2012. (Wait, is bringing him back from the grave an essential part of making America great again?) ...

Always knowing the right thing to say shows that one is ready to be President, right???

I think it is pretty self evident that the THAT he refers to is the Penn State Statue of Paterno, not the actual coach. It could explain why he said ‘how about THAT whole thing, How about THAT WHOLE DEAL?!’

Maybe the only ones confused reside in Obama’s extra seven states?

You do know he was referring to the statue of Paterno that was removed from the local stadium don't you? I mean, you wouldn't just post some uninformed BS because you read some other uninformed dolt post it when the info about the statue has been posted on FR, would you?
