How is it that 1) defending any aspect of Planned Parenthood’s existence and 2) unabashedly blaming George Bush for 9/11 and 3) calling him a liar a good strategy in South Carolina, unless your supporters really don’t care what you have to say about anything. You just have yell and assert “I will make America great again.”

Maybe the little folk are smarter and more informed than pols give us credit for. As a nation, we wrapped the flag around us after 911 and didn't put any criticism on GWB. But most people probably do feel he bears some part of the blame.

And Iraq? Did it really make any sense to invade 911 when the maniacs were Saudis inspired by a Saudi national?

So, yeah, I'm glad Trump's bringing that up. Let the chips fall where they may.

FWIW, Rubio and Trump had minor give and take, for sure. But Trump's over-the-top performance gave Rubio and Carson space to get upright after they'd been unfairly bashed. Makes me suspect that Trump is really, really fed up with Cruz.

Who's the loser? Cruz. Nothing in his performance last night will garner him any new supporters.

That's my take.

The USS Cole bombing was done almost a year before 911 by bin laden, there was no excuse to let the guard down on Bin Laden.

The Bush family has destroyed the Conservative brand and the GOP. They support Big Government in the name of compassion. It takes pure gall for another Bush to run for President.

“(Trump)unabashedly blaming George Bush for 9/11”

I don’t blame Bush for 9/11; he hadn’t been in office for even one year. I blame Bill Clinton for not handling the bin Laden situation. He was offered bin Laden on a silver platter at least a couple times and didn’t accept. To quote Her Evilness, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” It happened and you can’t turn back time.

But you CAN put someone in office who is committed to doing everything possible to keep it from happening again. The very first thing that has to be done is that we MUST stop every bit of illegal entrance to the US via Canada and Mexico. (It isn’t only Mexicans coming into America via Mexico.) Trump is the only one who really discusses this, or has a plan.

Pretty much. Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and his supporters would still vote for him.

...and 2) unabashedly blaming George Bush for 9/11...

Now DT saying that was simply over the top.
