"Again, this should not be a surprise. He has ALWAYS been thin-skinned."

Thin-skinned? You do not know what you are talking about.

He's from NYC, I'm from NYC. "Thin skin" is a description no-one would use to describe us, let alone to describe someone from NYC who is a business mogul.

You sound like you're thoroughly conditioned, as Rush often says, to constant defeat and surrender. Stockholm Syndrome style. Along comes someone that does not follow that "normal" scenario and you're flummoxed.

You might be more comfortable with the metrosexual class, like Barry and the rest, well good for you. But you obviously have missed the fact with Trump, what, three, four times in a row now, that the people are sick and tired of surrender monkeys and that is why his support has grown exponentially even while you keep pressing your fingers in your ears and shutting your eyes tight.

“He’s from NYC, I’m from NYC. “Thin skin” is a description no-one would use to describe us, let alone to describe someone from NYC who is a business mogul.”

I’m from NYC too, guy. Simply being from NYC, or even being a business mogul from NYC, doesn’t mean Trump isn’t thin skinned. I was referring to Trump’s tendency to respond to any criticism with childish personal insults. Look through his Twitter feed - look at how many times he responds to criticism in the most childish and personal terms. The guy has a massive ego and acts like a petulant child whenever someone is “mean” to him.

His tough guy New Yorker act is just that - an act. (not to mention that, on the lighter side, he lost any New Yorker credibility when he took Sarah Palin out for a slice of pizza. At FAMIGLIA. And ate with a knife and fork. No real New Yorker would have gone there or done that).
