Trump is not afraid to say what is on his mind, sometimes his thoughts are not pretty, I can live with that.

What if he said your mother, wife or daughter was an AIDS infested, crack whore? Could you live with that? Trump dude has let his early popularity go to his head. I’ll bet anyone here a $25 donation to FR that he loses Iowa. (Maximum 4 bets.)

You say: “ I think what he said about Iowa Voters being “stupid” and his antics about Ben Carson’s knife incident are probably going to hurt him.

If there was a jump the shark moment for him, this is the closest i’ve seen so far.”

Exactly. Lot of Trumpettes wearing blinders and ear muffs. Sad.

He’s FURIOUS that Carson is still polling high and close to him. He’s furious with the press, with the people of the state, “How stupid are the people of Iowa. How stupid are the people of this country...” . someone else is getting attention and a consummate narcissist can’t Take it. And if he and the media manage to sink Carson - the next one in line that gets close to him will be attacked with the same erratic fury...

Take note that the audience were taken aback - very little enthusiasm/tepid applause ..

It’s bad enough that the low info people will make every excuse in the book for his behavior - but it’s really dishearte4ning to see so many Freepers make pretzels out of themselves to ignore what’s in front of them; The man is not presidential material.

His handlers have been able to reign him in for a bit and calm him down - but no one can keep someone with such a high level of narcissism in control for long...O’bummer has nothing on Trump when it comes to this. (Do a search on ‘symptoms of narcissism” - and be honest with yourselves, folks.

“I’m first and Carson’s second - I don’t understand it ... “ and he goes on to link Carson’s ‘disorder’ with child molesters - over the top.

He rants on for 9 minutes on Carson.

Narcissism is a “pathological disorder”

read the symptoms honestly -

then there’s the extreme ‘malignant’ narcissism’ - presidential material - finger on the button?

John Fund = Establishment Media

You need to quit letting the Establishment media, who hate Trump, lead you around by your nose.

Walker fans just don’t get what this article is about....

The Establishment is in PANIC MODE!!!

They know Trump is going to win, and now they are trying to bring back the loser Mitt Romney. I guess they know Rubio and Carson will not last.

Go to Drudge Right now. It’s the top center story.

Trump is LEADING in the polls.

THAT is who the Establishment is panicking about.

Yes Jeb is done.

Rubio is Establishment back up plan #2

He is imploding because he comes across as too rehearsed. That's one the main reasons people said he did not win the debate.

Rubio is for

1) Open Borders
2) Global Warming CO2 taxes
3) The TPP

He will not get it and they know it.

As for Cruz. They do not like him, but he does not have the poll numbers Trump has.

And again, I agree with his rant.

WE ARE ALL BEYOND PISSED OFF. The Donald is expressing what the silent majority is well silent about. WHY? Becuase we are busy raising childen, keeping the economy going and yes, trying to enjoy/improve our lives.

American Hostages Maybe Freed.

No its not 1979.

“National Review is on the way out like the GOPelites”

National Review had a lot to do with my becoming a conservative. When I was 14 (1968) I discovered it, and became addicted to it. By 15, I was a done deal. Back then, the contributors were people like Malcolm Muggeridge, and Russell Kirk. Today, NR is controlled by Neocons. Faux conservatives. (Liz and I call them PUKEneos). WFB would be quite depressed if he came back today.

God would rather someone go to heaven as a result of gospel heard from a “cult” than to go to hell in some denomination of supposedly orthodox teaching.

Scripture does not agree with you.

Faces Trumps makes at a debate when others are speaking - totally boorish, juvenile and disrespectful.

The man who makes fun of other people’s faces. He slammed Carly Fiorina: “Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that! Can you imagine that, the face of our next president,...really folks, c’mon. Are we serious?

We need an ADULT back in the WHut - not 4-8 more years of a spoiled, full of himself brat

The 90 minute “show” Trump just gave the world projects insecurity not strength.

I agree.

Everyone is on a Trump-bashing mode today.

He’s leading.

He’s also the only candidate (in either party actually) who is for bringing back jobs to America.

The only one.
