True. Yknow, one of the Trumpette losers yesterday called Trump an “alpha male” and compared him to Teddy Roosevelt. Which reminds me of how Roosevelt responded to what he believed was unfair criticism:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

There you have it, how a real man responds to criticism. Roosevelt called out the critics, sure. But he did so eloquently, forcefully, and in a way that drives your message home. Trump goes on Twitter, attacks them personally, and calls them losers. It’s the difference between an alpha male leader and a middle school bully.

GREAT post!

Way to compare 2 different leaders. Trump is a spoiled brat with thin skin. His supporters are belligerent as he is. It is sad, really.

All they do is call those of us who criticize Trump all sorts of names. They are pathetic. Then, they have the nerve to call some of us RINO’s, when their guys is to the LEFT of Jeb.

It is ok. I will continue to post about Trump. The truth will get out. If yesterday was an indication, he is about to lose control of his campaign.
