One word of Trumps comments is always left out. And he used it both before and after that joke. "They say I could..." referring to the press as "they" talking about his supporters

It's a waste of time and effort to repeat the truth. Trump haters want to believe the lie.

Trump reported how the press characterized the loyalty of his supporters. You are correct: he quoted the press, just as you wrote.

The big lie is repeated and becomes the narrative.

[Paul R.]

Well then, Trump supporters, or even anyone who thinks all the candidates should get an honest forum, should repeat the full quote more. We CANNOT again let the press & the Establishment create the narrative. Neither Cruz or Trump can prevail in that environment.
