Donald Trump's boisterous personality is fueling his campaign, but the billionaire businessman insists there is also a more dignified side to him.
In an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, Trump — who created one of the most memorable moments of the 2016 campaign so far by sharing rival Lindsey Graham's cell phone number on national television — suggested that he would shift his rhetoric as president.
"As president, you would change your tone?" Cooper asked.
"Oh, I'd think so," Trump said. "I'll change my tone."
Trump defended his recent attacks on his fellow candidates, saying he has been hitting back because he was first provoked.
"I didn't start it with Lindsey Graham. I couldn't care less about Lindsey Graham. He's registered at I think zero in the polls," Trump said. "Lindsey Graham called me a jackass. So am I supposed to say, 'Oh, it's OK'? I'm called a jackass. You have to fight back."

You are one to discuss civics fool. You are a moron that couldn’t discuss an issue without resulting to insults. I have nothing but contempt for you weak fool. Spend your time responding to someone that doesn’t think you are useless.
I will choose someone who I think has a good chance of beating that lying grifter Hildabeast or that blatant socialist/Marxist Sanders, whichever one gets the democRAT nomination. Who that is, I don't know yet. I will see how the primaries shake out next spring.
But, if you're looking for pure as driven snow, vote for a snow drift because that's the only place you'll find it.
That’s not true at all.....not most by a long shot. Many in big biz do - but by definition, the little biz man cannot even play.
we’re talking politics.....not your special ed classes.....
what you call insults, I call facts.
The Democrats just nicknamed the anti-sanctuary city bill the Donald Trump bill. Put that fact where the sun don’t shine homie.
Obviously reading prior threads is not what you are paid for.
Paid? To read FR? Where can I sign up?!
My thread was simply repeating his previous insults. The truth is I’m a Cruz supporter and I’m just enjoying Trump. These guys that are crapping themselves in fear are cracking me up. They simply don’t have the faith in Cruz’s debate skills that I have.
I won't be making my decision on who to vote for president based on a negative here or there about candidates. Why? Because they all have flaws. I am looking for someone who can get elected by beating the democRATS.
Like I said, if you want pure, try voting for...... no one.
Just remember you said short bus not me. :=)

As it is, I am what might be called a Churchill scholar. I have read all the histories around his period and have read all the stories of his life and history.
I think you show great American genius in you identification of Trump an the American Churchill.
I thought this at least 4 years ago and I think it still.
Spirits live among us...and they refuse to go away.

Now see this is a good question....but there's a damned good answer. Crony capitalism is a huge cancer that's eating away at our economy and our culture. Cronyism guarantees that government continues to grow in size, scope and influence. The worst regimes in world history have always had their insider business buddies as part of the power/wealth structure. Crony capitalism is quite often THE OPPOSITE of real free market capitalism......therefore, a crony is not who we need at this time....and moreover, a crony capitalist is frankly not someone with the cred to unleash opportunity for everybody....
