Donald Trump posted a tweet Tuesday featuring a Nazi swastika next to a picture of GOP rival Jeb Bush.

I've actually written about the many flaws in the Luntz focus group theory......but dadburned, you just proved him right. At least with your quote.
I like Trump for playing smash mouth and exposing the libs for what they are and getting the conservative message out.
But I'm getting tired of reality tv.
I like someone who can be strong, forthright and still be gracious.
Reagan was that way.
I believe Cruz is that way also.
Well I would agree on that too, but I maintain the nazi / Jeb thing was kind of stupid. There is no truth behind the joke.....and humor or sideswipes without a basis in truth is just infantile.
Apparently this is the original tweeter.

From the screen capture it looks like Trump wasn’t the only one retweeting it.
“I’m OUTRAGED and INSULTED by this racist, homophobic, xenophobic comment of [insert target’s name here]”
All while casually glancing down at the talking points memos they’ve received that morning.
When a Democrat or liberal is hit with something it’s like water off a duck’s back. They either say “that’s old news, and we gotta get back to the business of the people,” or it’s a counter-assault of an even more egregious nature. They go to school for this, apparently.
It is all kabuki.
No I didn’t prove him right on anything. You inferred from my response that was so. It is your opinion and just that.
You’re kind of a literalist and not really up to speed on rhetorical sparring and analogy are you? Geez, if you don’t cringe when your guy throws Jeb and a nazi flag together in a tweet....then you are indeed beyond cringing.
so tell me, what COULD Trump do to dampen your enthusiasm? I don’t think anything. Prove me wrong.
Your problem with me is that you don't like having that pointed out.
My problem is that you have not been going after his policy positions but whack him when he gets in the social media hot water.
When Trump announced and said he would 'build the wall' did you find that position liberal or shape shifting?
When Trump announced his tax plan did you find it liberal?
When Trump said he will re-negotiate the crappy trade deals we have is that liberal?
When Trump said he will have the strongest military, and take care of our Vets, is that liberal?
What is shape shifting? Does that means he changes positions like every other human on the planet?
I just sent, my guy, Ted Cruz, another donation but this Trump Derangement Syndrome that so many people, including you have, is irrational.
I am not as invested in Trump hating as you and CW are, frankly.
I tolerate him as long as my candidate Cruz does and until such time Cruz speaks up, I’ll demur about Trump.
Everyone knows where you and others stand on him and this crap about exchange of ideas and discourse is all crap, there is no point in arguing anything with either of you. Broken records.
I won’t say I don’t do the same kind of thing. But I at least reserve my biting to Jeb Bush.
The last thing we need is for Bush to get even the slightest boost in the Polls, something like this could do that, and he could cling to it for long long time, not that it would help in the long game but it could keep him in the race much longer than he otherwise would be, don’t think for a moment this type of attack will not gain sympathy from moderate and low info voters.
Easy for leftists posing as supporters to damage Trump because frankly, we dont need this stuff from a serious candidate and neither does Trump
Pure unadulterated Alinsky!
Try these adjectives: patriotic, fearless, clever, energetic, focused, intelligent (dare we say brilliant), determined, compassionate, resourceful...a winner.
Donald Trump is the only person I can think of in recent memory who is making real personal sacrifices to attain POTUS. He sacrifices his wealth, his time, his security, his lifestyle because he sees, as you and I do, that our situation is dire. And he feels compelled to act, because he knows he can bring solutions.
While all the others seek Potus as a means of gaining wealth fame and power. Donald Trump is the only candidate who will actually step down to be POTUS.
Criticize Heb! all you want, but this is too far for my tastes.
The fact is, Jeb’s Granddaddy Prescott Bush was just as much in love with Hitler and the Nazis as was Joe Kennedy Sr., and if it were any other candidate except for the Bushes, it would be an instant disqualification from running for ANY office including local dogcatcher.
Trump’s past and present positions on issues are relevant - as they are for all candidates. Trump gets no pass from me because he “polls” well. Now we’re supposed to believe the polls and believe that Trump has changed. I don’t buy it.
Isn’t that how the Bush family got their money? Didn’t what’s his name trade with Germany?
To me, there is no question about this. It was simply unnecessary and is likely to inflict some amount of damage on Trump with the general electorate that should be avoided.
But once again, it does in fact illustrate that there are Trump supporters who will never accept that he can do anything wrong. Which is just wrong.
"I tell you it was the scariest thing I've ever seen! My legs are still shaking!"
>> I would say Trump needs to do at least one cringe-worthy unPC thing per week <<
Good observation. And if he should stop saying and tweeting outrageous “unPC” things, I suspect his millions of dollars in free publicity would dry up sooner rather than later.
So Bush was near a flag, what about the Confederate flag? Bush could have been standing by it, what about the Russia flag, obuma could have been seen standing by it...
You people are ‘unhinged’ and finding any and all excuses to justify your whatever it is you think you got going on...
Take a breath, obuma is releasing criminals from prison in the next couple of weeks, so lets hope one of them don't live near you!!!
