Donald Trump On Carly Fiorina "I'm talking about persona. I'm not talking about look."
You Tube ^ | September 10, 2015

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

nothing says “persona” like “look at that face.”

PC is hard at work every day! I don’t care what he said, a personal insult is no big deal. People in media were calling Sara Palin the c word and other horrible things and nobody paid the price for any of that. Why should Trump be held to a higher standard for a snide remark that is 100% truthful?

no no no...you see, you need to get your mind right. If you fail to fall down and worship the Donald on your knee pads - then you are by definition a Bush bot.....or a Rove plant....or a card carrying member of the RNC or Chamber of Commerce. Don’t you know that?

No you are right, but Trump represents a different choice, he is not status quo. So not wanting Trump is tacit resignation to the status quo.

Ping to thread on Donald saying he was talking about “persona”, not “face”. Of course, you will find my sycophanting a little, over his quick draw reversal. :)

Me too. The whole thing us a non-issue. The Bushbots still don’t get it.

We Cruzers do get it. It is the sTrumpettes that don't get it. Trump is a faux Conservative.

I think that’s about right. :) Close call. Glad he addressed it, practically before the story makes it to press.

He also said this in a private setting, not at a podium. He’s guilty of not realizing that one is always on record when talking to a ‘journalist’

-— He redeemed himself with ease. Nice. -—

She deserves an apology. His comment says a lot about him.

Have you ever said anything like that about somebody in public? Would you?

She has no control over her looks (which aren’t bad, BTW). This was just a pointless schoolyard-level insult.

Luntz’ focus groups sure have taken a dramatic turn since the night of the first debate.

but Trump represents a different choice, he is not status quo. So not wanting Trump is tacit resignation to the status quo.

Well thanks for finally putting forth an intellectual argument - though it is still a false choice - because not wanting Trump is NOT tacit resignation to the status quo. If it comes down to Trump or Jeb for example, or say Kasich - then yeah, it will be Trump or the status quo. But there's at least 4 other candidates who are NON status quo....maybe as many as 6.

There are a few of us around here to are stunned at the lack of reason of most Trump FR supporters. It's mind blowing. But we're on board with Trump if it ever comes down to Trump V GOPe, period. We are the few, the proud, the reasonable. It is impossible to have slavish support and be reasonable at the same time. Mutually exclusive concepts.

But again, it was at least a cogent argument. Refreshing change of pace.

He walked back the one with Megyn Kelly, but you’re right. He doesn’t always walk them back. Some times he’s not decent and grown up enough to realize how petty his insults are.

Are you complaining he hurls insults or complaining he hurls insults at “we are equal & treat us that way” women?

If Scott walker said this about Hillary, would you be posting this? Let he who has never laughed at a Hillary or Helen Thomas pictures on Free Republic cast the first stone!
