Trump: If we're attacked, we'll 'beat the s--t out of them'
The Hill ^ | February 2, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 02/02/2016 6:29:45 PM PST by Zakeet

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says America will be glad if he's the president next time the nation is attacked.

"If we are attacked, somebody attacks us, wouldn't you rather have Trump as president if we're attacked?" he said at a rally in Milford, N.H. "We'll beat the shit out of them."

He added that America needs to stop "playing games."

"We've become the policemen to the entire world," he said. "We take care of the world. They pay us peanuts."

So where did Cruz lie?

Fantastic misdirection!
I hope Cruz gave you a raise!

I feel so liberated, especially after reading some of these posts, that I have removed myself from the ever dramatic Trump/Cruz circle jerk. Trying to determine what they said, meant to say, should have said, who is nice, who is not nice, who is natural, who is unnatural, who got the evangelical and the endless excuses for disgusting behavior, has been exhausting. Neither one of these two showboats deserves the nomination.

You came in late. Cruz has been accused here of lying all day long. Yet no one has been forthcoming with the lie that Cruz told.

Trump runs away from Megyn Kelly. Let's just say he doesn't have a very good track record.

Bold?

Intimidating voters and lying about other candidates isn’t bold, it’s dirty politics. From the holier-than-thou politician.

Not very classy.

Despicable, actually.

It WAS unreasonable to make that assumption during the caucuses, speaking as if it was fact.

Trump saying "beat the shit out of them" will be number 26 on the list of things that will "definitely end Trump's campaign"

Only if you're a moron; or a Democrat...
But I repeat myself.

He was referring to ISIS/ISIL.
So what's your beef?

We will have to agree to disagree. I think Cruz did the right thing to apologize once it was clear that the original report was in error, but to share breaking information that is relevant was not improper.

Think about it from the other direction. What if the news WAS correct and Carson was planning on quitting right after the caucus. As a Carson voter, wouldn't you want to know that before you cast your vote and maybe use your vote to support one of the candidates staying in the race? Wouldn't you at least want that option?

His language would make a sailor blush.

Not really; perhaps a PK (Preacher's Kid) but not a Sailor, Soldier, or Marine.

“So wont you feel the jackass when you figure out Cruz and Trump are a tagteam to split the enemy.”

I won’t feel like a jackass as long as Cruz gets to play for the title in this “tagteam”. Go “team” Cruz!

Its late so when you see this ping and its convenient read the comments on it, about Donald “I can’t lose” Trump .

Hilarious.

Mr “I cant lose” has just been dented by his recent loss.

That's from his staff. I doubt he knows anything about it.Where I come from only a dirty politician hires dirty staff. This filth will not wash off of Ted Cruz.

People poor mouth Trump but I can't understand how they look at themselves in the mirror.
