Donald Trump On Carly Fiorina "I'm talking about persona. I'm not talking about look."

He says it's not what he said, then he says it's what he says.

It's creepy.

Video

"During a Thursday morning interview on "Fox and Friends," Trump was asked if he did in fact make the comments quoted in Rolling Stone.

The real estate mogul first noted that "the pictures in the magazine were magnificent" and that "overall, it was probably a pretty good story."

He then said, "Probably I did say something like that about Carly," adding later that he said it "in a jocular manner." He also said it wasn't about her appearance.

"I’m talking about persona. I’m not talking about looks," he said on Fox. TPM

Fiorina is a bore, a middle manager type who probably rose through the organization by tattling on her fellow employees. She’s straight out of the movie “Nine To Five.”


Fiorina is a good candidate and running a good campaign. She’s not my choice but am glad she is in this race. She is helping conservatives with an edge against liberals. Keep in mind we have to win elections in order to govern. Fiorina is a small but important piece of this puzzle.

‘Moreover, this episode is a window into the shallow dark souls of the Trump bots - who themselves are so caught up in cultish worship that they refuse to acknowledge a clear mistake. And they cover it up by changing the subject and making false equivalencies.

You’re aware that this makes you sound like a sophomore in college?

There are a number of surprising players in this modern drama, all carrying torches you would never have guessed they would carry, all handicapped in some manner.

Thanks for the Helen T photo. Shows persona can be read from a face. I doubt that any of the Trump haters here could deny they have met people whose facial appearance lead them to a fairly accurate judgment of that person’s personality. The Obamas are a case in point. Don’t know or care what Trump saw in Carly, but the claim that he couldn’t have meant persona is off base.

>> Trump is a straight talker and that tells people that he means what he says <<

Are you referring to what he says today? Or what he said a few days ago?

Well, did any other candidate talk with Bill Clinton before announcing their run for president on the GOP ticket?

Kind of the dilettante in intellectualism who hasn’t yet grasped the reason for using all these heady new verbal tools.

I haven’t written him off but he has to do some self editing before he talks. This kind of talk may work for him for the primaries but will be real trouble if he is the nominee.

Be careful: fantasy writers understand fantasy well enough to call other folks on it.

you slammed Trump for personal attacks and now you just made a personal attack about Trump supporters including the owner of this web site Jim Robinson as people with shallow dark souls? That makes you a gigantic hypocrite among other things..

It is a bit disingenuous to cheer someone insulting Hillary and then turning around and jumping on him for this.

This thread has built up to the point just before EVERYBODY jumps into the wrestling ring and mayhem breaks out.

For Cruz to be elevated to a greater position of authority, does Trump have to be denigrated/diminished to a lessor position of authority than Cruz?

Probably yes, though I wouldn't put it that way. I would say that for Cruz to be elevated - two things need to happen: First, Trump needs to continue to self expose himself....and it's absolutely critical that Cruz not join in when he does. The other factor is that several other candidates would have to drop out, with Cruz getting at least a good share of their support...Santorum, Huckabee, Jindal, Carly, Rand, etc.

Oh, a third factor would be for Cruz to ratchet up his rhetoric to match the fearlessness of his proven actions. That's why Trump is so hot right now, his rhetoric has tapped into something huge......almost all of it related to things Cruz has been fighting for far longer than Trump has. Rhetoric matters. Tone matters! It's my favorite thing about Trump really.

Only Trump can derail Trump. When he's attacked by the media and/or the GOP e, it only strengthens him.

There is nothing to cover up. Trump is just exposing salient features of the pathetic Lilliputians, licking at his ankles.
