GOP candidates slam Trump over Putin praise (Trump really scaring me-OK with killing journalists?)

What started as a seemingly mild admiration between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin took an uncomfortable turn Friday when the GOP White House hopeful seemed to defend the Russian president’s strong-arm tactics – and dismiss his alleged killing of journalists and others who cross him.

Funny

A concern troll is a person who participates in a debate posing as an actual or potential ally who simply has some concerns they need answered before they will ally themselves with a cause. In reality they are a critic.

And what the hell is a Barnini Chakraborty? When I went to school, I could pronounce every kids name.

[odawg]

I will have to admit, that cracked me up.

Seriously, Putin came out with that as a means to dis Obama, who he does not like at all. Trump just helped out in the game, and I am sure he shares Putin’s and Freepers’ sentiments about Obama.

At least he didn’t mention looking deep into his eyes.

Here is the actual clip: the answer is given in less than a minute.

TY for the clip. As usual the criticism of Trump collapses when the entire context is presented.

Trump was being baited into ruining Putin’s praise of him. Trump was really saying go jump in the lake, why are you trying to start trouble? Why are you trying to create antagonism?

Trump wants to work with Putin. That is a good thing. Trump does not want to antagonize Putin for no reason.

The folks who want to start a war with Russia are the dangerous people.

Well, I listened to the segment, more than a “cursory” amount, and Trump’s indifference to Putin killing journalists was quite evident. As I said originally, I was quite comfortable with Trump if my guy didn’t win, but do you really not have any qualms about a President who seems so indifferent about a government killing journalists? Our President is invested with tremendous power and I take the possibility of a President abusing that power very seriously.

[dschapin]

That is concerning. I respect aspects of Putin’s rule - ie, he seems to be patriotic for Russia. However, I would not want him as president and I don’t want Trump to think Putin’s crackdowns on domestic dissent are ok.

It's hero worship.
Weak minds need a hero

In that case, you must have thousands of them.

Do either one of you have proof that Putin had people murdered? The fact that a mainstream media anchor may have told you something on TV, doesn’t make it so. Point me to the proof, not to an accusation reported, robot-like, by AP or NBC.

RE: "Seriously? There is a list from here to the moon of Russian journalists who have mysteriously vanished or were found to have been murdered."

So that means Putin killed them? LOL. My guess would be that Putin has never personally killed anyone...

First of all, there are over 100 on the list over the past several decades. Second, who said Putin personally killed them, or even that all of them were murdered?

“All of this is designed and he gets away with it all the time. Him , Jarett and co must be laughing at how they have destroyed this country and are now looking to get as many third world immigrants in here in the next year.”

And it analogous to the economy. As we saw in 2007, the economy can crash precipitously, but it takes literally years to repair the damage. And so too it is with a subversive government. Obama’s 8 years will likely take longer to repair than I have years left to live!

Well,too many journalists over graze their range.

Weak minds need a hero

Nice platitude there. I don't actually disagree that weak minds need a hero, but I disagree with the application of that idea to this situation.

I have noticed a phenomenon among human beings where they feel the need to categorize any person who disagrees with them as "stupid", though often "ignorant" will do in its place. I believe this is because anyone who realizes that an intelligent person disagrees with him is forced, logically, to question his own beliefs and entertain the idea that maybe he is wrong. In this case there are a number of legitimate reasons for intelligent, conservative people to support Trump. A blanket statement about those people being weak-minded is more indicative of the lack of confidence and/or weak-mindedness of the person making the statement.

" Kitty Cat Obama Should Be Like Russian Bear Putin " - Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz

And I agree with him

“Liberals only hate Putin because he won’t let homosexuals run amock in his country”

You nailed it. That was the very beginning of relations going sour. Flying the fag flag at then embassies, him stopping adoptions to America because we let homos get em, and the gay recruitment bans.

Obama took that very personal because of his homosexual past. THAT was the very beginning of our problem. We had good relations with them in the Bush era. We were allowed to use their airbases for free down in the Stans. We got to supply Afghanistan by rail. Etc etc.

Obamas homo ways have damaged our nation in ways we wont know for decades.

“Trump really scaring me”

Maybe you should ask Santa for a fainting couch.

[1rudeboy]

Do [] you have proof that Putin had people murdered?

Not any proof likely to satisfy you. While we're at it, anybody have any proof that Hastings and Breitbart were murdered by Obama? Two can play this game of logical fallacy.

[ETL]

Yet, every murder is blamed on Putin by the opposition.

Lol! Great argument! Of the 100+, Putin didn't have ALL of them murdered.

[roses of sharon]

Does Donald Trump have a reputation for killing journalists in NY?

Maybe that should be investigated./
