Moderator Anderson Cooper had no time for schoolyard excuses Tuesday night during the CNN Republican Town Hall, telling Donald Trump that "I didn't start it" isn't an argument that should be used by a presidential candidate.

Nope. They’re all losers.
He ended up richer, that’s what counts. I know a fellow that made one million out of ten million.
Ehh....no. Cause if I scroll through and read the posts there, I might (would definitely) be tempted then to post something. And I’m weak. I admit it.
Is anyone here lauding how much Gates accomplished in his lifetime like they constantly do with Trump? If so, yeah. I’d be saying the same thing about Gates. Sorry to burst your little bubble of unreality.
You sure about that? That these Reagan Democrats crossed over and chose McCain and Romney too then? I just don’t see that being the truth, somehow. It is much more likely that the leftists figured that they could skew the election by picking a GOP candidate that was most likely to lose. And they were correct in that assumption.
I think you meant dares.
I did not fall for anything. See posts 117,135,156.
McCain and Romney received far fewer votes in the primaries. The independents voted for them. The Democrat controlled media and the GOPe worked to get them the nomination.
The media was very supportive of both Romney and McCain and was very critical of the other Republican candidates.
Do you remember all the lies about Santorum in the media in 2012? Do you remember the attacks on Rick Perry being a racist? Do you remember the vicious attacks on Michelle Bachmann?
I remember a crew of trolls here all saying that they would NEVER hold their nose and vote for McCain...while Democrats busily crossed over and voted for him in their states’ open primaries. I do remember Bachman being savaged in the media, along with Palin in 2008.
Have you checked out Trump’s unfavorable rating lately? It has gone up, not down.

Reagan was a sure loser according to the polls in 1980. He was over 30 points behind Carter in the late summer of 1980 according to the polls.
At the time of the election the polls and all of the experts said that the election was “too close to call”. The polls and the media experts all said it was tie.
Reagan won in a landslide.
In 1984, Lou Harris, the head of Harris polling, said Mondale was gaining among women and minorities and was the likely winner. The media experts spoke of the “gender gap” and said women would make the race close.
Reagan won in a landslide.
The polls say Trump has very high unfavorable. The funny thing is despite all the negative media attacks on Trump as racist etc. most people I know say they are going to vote for Trump. People who are not political support Trump. Black people say they want Trump. Women say they want Trump.
Maybe the polls are correct. I remain skeptical.
Typo.. should have said whore.
I don’t know which is the case, the polls being right or historical fact re: Reagan. I do know that Trump is no Reagan. Let’s hope the polls are wrong. As much as I don’t want Trump as the president, I would still prefer him over Hillary or Sanders, any damned day.
But I am pulling and praying for Cruz to win.
Cruz 40, Trump 30, Kasich 21
DONEald.
But I am pulling and praying for Cruz to win.”
Trump is different from Reagan in some ways. But both Trump and Reagan are the only outsiders constantly attacked by the media, the GOP and the Democrats that I remember.
Because Reagan ended up being popular and successful people forget how much Reagan was hated. He was called a dunce, an idiot, a racist and a hater of women. Like Trump the charges never stuck. Reagan was called the Teflon president, Trump is called Teflon Don.
My two candidates were Trump and Cruz. Neither are perfect but I felt they were the only two that could make a positive difference.
I felt that a Jeb! presidency would be almost the same as an Obama presidency or a Clinton presidency.
Cruz has made it harder for me to like him.
I don't like his close association with Glenn Beck. I don't like his claim that Trump and his supporters were to blame for the thugs that attacked them in Chicago. I don't like his putting Neil Bush in such a prominent role.
But I think Cruz would make a good president and would gladly support him.
I hoped Trump and Cruz would work together for positive change.
Maybe there is still a chance.
Women that purty don’t have to be hookin.
Yeah, maybe the drama between Cruz and Trump is much like the drama on forums between posters...Kabuki theatre stuff. Maybe they can surprise us all and come together for the good of the nation. Hope springs.
Take care.
LOL

Gates isn’t running for President, genius.
