Do you want to know what Donald Trump is really like?

Back in Febuary of 2016 there was a Repuplican debate. The moderator was calling out the candidates' names at the start of the debate. When Ben Carson's name was called, he didn't hear it. So he just stood there in the wings. Cruz, Christie, and Bush, they all just walked passed Carson. But Trump understood what had happened, and he stood there right by Carson. That is the mark of a man!

This was a totally unscripted moment. And Trump passed the test. Everyone else failed.

A video of that is here:

Was that before or after King Trumpy said Carson was like a pedophile? Sheesh...

Somehow I get the feeling that if Trump was caught on camera pulling a family out of a burning car, you would roll your eyes and say Sheesh...

there was a Repuplican debate

Repuplican? Is that the party for people who like small dogs or for folks who enjoy camping?

I remember that. Trump kind of went out with Carson as to not make Carson look bad.

And so pulling a family out of a burning car is like raising taxes, changing the platform on abortion, or siding with Transgenders ..... in what way?

Did you note the “unscripted” in my original comment? Because that's when you can take a true measure of a person.

When a person is given time to listen to various advisors, anything can happen. But when a person acts on the spur of the moment, that's when his true nature is reveled.

Thanks for pointing that out. Since you’ve never made a typo, that means a lot to me.

Don’t forget when he jumped out of his Limo and saved a guy who was being beaten by another guy with a baseball bat. The guy dropped the bat and ran!

A memorable moment. One of those impromptu reactions that gives insight in to what a man is made of.

You said it better than me. That's exactly what I was trying to point out here.

The motto of Cruzers: "Let the hate flow through you"

By all means: Ignore all signs that Cruz is the turd in the punch bowl, a fraud of considerable proportions. But make certain you pull things out of context to impugn the eeevil Trump.

Good job!

It does not take a professional profiler to understand Trump is the real deal. Passionate, concerned, supercharged energy, dedicated and not oppressed or stifled by political correctness. And he didn’t need to go through any of this.

Since he started his run he has received many death threats, even serious threats directed at his family members. Mass murdering cartel kingpins worth billions have threatened him. Every crowd is a potential threat. He could instead be on a yacht in the Bahamas drinking margaritas or anything else he wanted to do.

Sometimes I wonder if America deserves a real leader.

Donald Trumps thoughtfulness is indicative of his character, and sadly lacking in the other candidates that were present.

I agree. That did separate the ‘man’ from the ‘politicians.’

I agree and I posted a similar article the night that happened. Trump showed his true colors there. Trump wouldn’t leave our people to die in an embassy.

What I like best about that family picture is the casual, natural way The Donald has his hands on Barron’s shoulders. At one of his victory speeches he mentioned how he was missing time with Barron, seems to be close to all his children.
