Donald Trump: I could ‘shoot somebody’ and still have support (audience laughing and clapping)

Washington Post ^

[Wissa]

Everyone gets the joke except the liberal media and Cruz supporters.

The thing that makes it even funnier is that the audience and Trump fans elsewhere know the liberal media is going to fall for it every time. The media never catches on that they're the brunt of the joke.

And in the meantime, the only candidate talked about on the news is Trump. Nobody pays attention to anyone else.

[Hilda]

It's just some of them stupidly think Trump supporters are mindless

The fact is that he just BRAGGED about them being mindless, and it doesn't even give you pause. Which pretty much proves it.

If there is nothing the man can say or do that will stop you from supporting him - that's mindless.

[calisurfer]

LOL...that’s why I love Trump...a joke is a joke!!!

[JoSixChip]

we figured that it would be the perfect place to accept Donald Trump's total and complete surrender. It's only a matter of time, really.

That is the most intelligent thing I have ever seen you post. I'm sure you think that is a complement.

Yeah, it is funny because it is true. His supporters are just like Hillary’s supporters.
You guys ignore all of his past, everything liberal he has ever done or said. Make excuses for him or deny his absurdities.
He is the first candidate I ever saw that flip flops and a very liberal past mean nothing to.
Yet you perpetuate his lies and Rubio’s flip flop on immigration - HUGE = DT’s million flip flops = he is a changed man.
He is the tackiest, rudest adult I have ever seen. And you all CHEER as he lies and tears down people and the media. He has the temperament of a young spoiled child. Nothing presidential about him.
So killing people in broad daylight why should that matter to you either.
You have thrown away YOUR PRINCIPLES FOR THE MOST LOW INFO, UNPRINCIPLED CANDIDATE, IMMATURE BULLY to ever run.

“The fact is that he just BRAGGED about them being mindles...”

IT WAS A JOKE, Genius!

I get that Cruz must be as humorless as Velcro, but dont act like the rest of the world has to be in order to pass muster with you guys.

[Candor7]

Freakin’ out , are ya?

Chill, America is being transformed, and its a long way to the convention, libby.

IT WAS A JOKE, Genius!

"Jokes" are often used as away to tell the truth and get away with it.

And in this case, he told the truth. He COULD do that, and his followers would explain why it must have been a good thing.

[FrankR]

Well...to me, it would depend on WHO he shoots!

[Essie]

There is always an excuse for Trump. His words never mean anything. Do they?

[Hilda]

I get that Cruz must be as humorless as Velcro,

Cruz is actually a conservative, and actually a Christian. Trump is neither. He's a phony and a huckster telling people what they want to hear. And it is VERY obvious.

[VanDeKoik]

“”Jokes” are often used as away to tell the truth and get away with it. “

Yeah ok.

Whatever pushes the weak narrative of the day.

[Essie]

Cruz supporters didn’t have an orgy of hate. You lie. I am originally from New York, and I knew exactly what Cruz meant by New York values: support for abortion, big government, the nanny state, etc.

[FredZarguna]

His bragging about his follower being mindless automatons was not part of the joke. They liked the joke because they accept the role.

Cultists never get that they're part of a cult. That's a necessary condition of being a member.

The thing that makes it even funnier is that the audience and Trump fans elsewhere know the liberal media is going to fall for it every time. The media never catches on that they're the brunt of the joke.

Trump IS a master at trolling the media. I bet every one of them has their shocked face on as they report it.

[Republican Wildcat]

Well it’s a joke that is also probably true and he’s essentially laughing at his supporters and their gullibility as to how much he’s gotten away with. He can openly attack conservatives and what they stand for on the campaign trail and doesn’t lose support. He can praise single payer healthcare and doesn’t lose support. He can propose “universal healthcare” “the government’s gonna pay for it!” and doesn’t lose support. He can support Kelo v. Connecticut and eminent domain abuse and doesn’t lose support. He can adopt the talking points of Cindy Sheehan / the Jersey Girls / Jamie Gorelick / Michael Moore on the war on terror and not lose support. He can join the liberal media attack on Justice Scalia and not lose support. He can praise Planned Parenthood because they do so many “good things” and not lose support. He can get into a spending war during a debate with another candidate and not lose support. He can say the solution to student loan debt is more government programs not lose support.

The joke is on us. A substantial amount of the GOP doesn’t care about substance - they care about entertainment above all else.

[Proud2BeRight]

It is Trump telling his believers are a brainwashed cult. They will call it a joke or attack Cruz to deflect it but will not realize the insult that liberal conman has given them.

[VanDeKoik]

“Cruz is actually a conservative, and actually a Christian”

Then ask Cruz to text Jesus and have him relay to you what humor is, because that has jack to do with my comment.
