Trump: Come on, Obama’s tears were sincere yesterday
HOTAIR ^ | 1/6/16 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 01/06/2016 10:01:48 AM PST by libbylu

However, I think the tears were real, probably more from frustration at being on the losing end of this argument and seeing that clearly. That also explains the yelling and other demagoguery in the presser. More to the point, there isn’t much gained in trying to litigate the opposite, especially for prospective presidential nominees. Trump takes the best political tack — allowing for legitimate motivation while opposing the policies and the ideology behind it.

The REAL issue is winning elections. Stealing Hillary voters to his side is a diabolical move on Trump's part.

How can we tell when Trump is engaging in strategic lying and when he's not?

Trump is already trolling for Dem cross over votes in the General Election while the rest of the primary field struts about trying to prove their conservative bonafides. The difference is obvious.

“See, I told you people - Trump is a secret Democrat plant designed to allow Obama to get a third term in office!!11!1!1eleventy!!11”

Are you off your meds? What do Ted Cruz or his supporters have to do with this?

AND Obama has endorsed legislation making it easier for non citizens to obtain firearms?

C'mon, this would be republican primary gold.

Winning with what? Thats the point. All the screaming about winning and you don’t care one bit what you win with as long as you get to feel good about it. How are you different from a liberal in that regard? Because like you, they don’t care what they win with either.

What Trump is trying to say is...The tears are real....so what...The issue isn’t about tears....it’s about the rights of the people to bear arms.


Exactly. There are no 2nd amendment lovers who couldn’t get moist eyed at Sandy Hook, come on. Of course Obama could drum up tears for that horror.

However, nothing he spoke about in his entire speech except biometric locks could have even attempted to prevent Sandy Hook. And biometric locks only if the killer’s mom had only guns with such locks.

But your crew of worshipers would do him and themselves a lot of favors by ditching the hero worship and calling a spade a spade.

I login to FreeRepublic daily to bask in all the love that goes on between Cruz and Trump supporters.

We are so kind and supportive of each other. /sarc

Sounds like people are looking for somebody who's as hard on those inside the system as they are as outsiders.

They think Trump will be as hard on politicians as they are because he's not a politician.

But Trump is a celebrity and he has some fellow feeling for celebrities.

That may be why he thought Oprah might make a good vice president.

My take is just accept that nobody in politics (or the media or the celebrity world) is going to be as hostile to elite members as we outsiders can be.

Well, but it’s all part of his sly, secret, masterful game of chess, see. And I think Sun-Tzu fits in somewhere, too.

Mere mortals can’t comprehend his strategy.

Doesn’t really address the issue does it?

But I’ll play. Last night I had one hard trump supporter argue that Cruz is evil and Romney wasn’t. A few days ago I had one scream LIAR! at several of us, INCLUDING TRUMP SUPPORTERS for calling her on her own posts backing BILL CLINTON.

Your turn.

Then I guess you’ll be stepping up to defend Ted Cruz when trump supporters apocalypticaly spaz out because he gave kids teddy bears. After all, he was just trolling for Dem votes right? RIGHT?

This thread is about what Trump said after being asked about Obama’s tears.
Where in the world does Cruz even come into this?

I would think after 6 months of bluster and attacks on everything from McCain’s military record, stopping new Muslims arriving, Mexico is sending is rapists and criminals, Trump should have imploded 50 times. Now it is scant 3 weeks to first primary and Trump is still the front runner.

There is something going on in the country which career politicians and media are failing to comprehend.

Very elementary Dr Watson!

Trump has zero need to attack Obama because he is not running against Obama in 2016. If Trump says something nice about Hillary & Bill in the prelude to the primaries, get back to me.

In the meanwhile Trump needs to steal as many Obama voters as he can, away from Hillary. This dude has common sense coming out of his ears.
