Trump on Cruz’s “rough temperament”: You can’t call your leaders liars on the Senate floor
Hot Air ^ | January 19, 2016 | Allahpundit

Golly, I thought populists liked it when Cruz did that. Now it turns out that type of insolence is a liability in a president. Frankly, that attitude sounds ... establishment-y.

I guess it's time for the "Donald Trump scolding other people for incivility" act of this circus.

Donald Trump bashed Ted Cruz's "temperament" and defended his presidential campaign's ground game during an appearance Tuesday at the John Wayne Birthplace Museum.

"Ted has got a rough temperament, you can't call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders. Not a good thing to do if you want to curry favor and get the positive votes later on own," Trump said....

This is just typical........I respond on a thread with my observations and opinion, not one personal attack, just an opinion. You then respond alluding to my comment as funny, you then call me pitiful and assert that I have lived a sheltered life because I find Trumps comment about Fiorina’s face as ridiculous.

Then when I suggested my comment unhinged you......what do you do...you suggest I am attacking you because we don’t agree. Just as I suggested, unhinged.

So the ego manian Trump is a Mitch McConnell supporter, good to know.

So much for Trump challenging the establishment.

Nice to meet you, perhaps in future we will more agree.

I looked when you reacted so viscerally to my comment and I see you have posted about Trump and Fiorina on several threads. Its obvious it is an important topic to you and I’m sorry I offended you unknowingly.

I’ll admit I found Trump’s comment funny at the time and it still makes me chuckle. I was raised in the sticks and stones era and someone with Fiorini’s corporate background is no shy flower.

Just more politics as usual from Trump sucking up to the establishment just like he’s sucking up to the corn lobby and proclaiming the greatness of ethanol subsidies.

For an antiestablishment type, Trump sure seems to side with them an awful lot.

Really? I thought Trump was an advocate of plain talk and the elimination of political correctness. I would put the question to Trump directly: “Do you think Mitch McConnell and other “leaders” of the Republican Party lied to Americans?” One would ASSUME that McConnell is no bigger fan of Donald Trump than he is of Ted Cruz...

You know I don’t care how Fiorina reacted, that has nothing to do with it. I think it was slimy, and beneath the dignity of anyone running for POTUS. There are many people in this world who do not obviously want t get in Trumps way, they could be called in it for being ugly.

Any way, thanks for your kind comments, I really do appreciate it, sincerely.

“...you can’t call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders....”

Why? If they are scum sucking low-life belly crawling totally lacking any human morals or ethics and lie besides .... one could be excused for pointing out their many faults!

The problem is that we’re their boss. They answer to the American people. They have spent time calling the American people names for long enough. They need to be fired, not catered to. Mitch McConnel is a liar and a back stabbing weasel. Mitch McConnel a leader?! That’s laughable.

Just finished watching the video. I thoroughly enjoyed it & I remember all of the media trash talk about Trump and how it went no where, but did give him more FREE air time, lol.

So, what is the point you want me to see from that video?

you can't call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders

If you're not willing to follow them, they aren't your leaders.

It sure is. They are detritus. We can recall them, primary them complain to them and we should. Ted Cruz however is in the pond with them. Calling them liars and reading Dr Seuss makes his point but does not advance the people’s business. The system is broken to be sure. Its just that I think Cruz going ballistic felt good but showed he does not have the self control and maturity to be the Commander in chief. If he is the candidate however I will vote for him.

Trump = Emperor Obama II. Only he'd be a heck of a lot more dictatorial and evil.

The very idea of Donald Trump, the nastiest, most evil tempered, most prickly SOB ever taken have run for president in this country even saying anyone else has a rough temperament is so laughably ridiculous, it made me fall over with laughter. Is this supposed to be a joke?
