'I am Batman,' Trump tells boy on helicopter ride
cnn ^ | August 16 2015 | CNN

Posted on 08/16/2015 3:48:55 PM PDT by WilliamIII

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)A helicopter landed here just after noon on Saturday, causing a short but violent windstorm. Large trees shivered; small ones bent nearly sideways. Dust swirled up from the parking lot, stinging the eyes of the onlookers. The pilot cut the engines. A man got out of the helicopter. He wore white shoes and white khakis with sharp creases and a red baseball cap that said MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. He strolled across the searing asphalt and stood at the edge of a field, where nearly 100 people waited to find out what he would do or say next.

"We have quite a few children gonna take rides today," said Donald Trump, billionaire, celebrity, entertainer and Republican candidate for president. "Where are the children? Get them over here."

Have you ever thought of having an open mind on Trump?

If your candidate is Cruz, you’re not doing him any favors by posting here the way you have been.

And in the meantime, the actual Cruz is telling people, quietly, “Look at what Donald Trump is talking about. Look at how it is resonating. Think about why these affairs matter.”

Cruz is wise. He is in it for the hand of God, not for himself. Some would-be boosters, not quite so wise.

You probably forgot that by the end of The Music Man, Harold Hill amnages to get the young, fatherless boy to come out of his shell, wins the heart of the beautiful young librarian, convinces the entire town that he is a musical genius, creates a huge marching band with 76 trombones, and finds himself settling down to live in a place where life is perfect - all because he was exactly what that little town needed.

I agree—Cruz is handling the Trump question and the entire race perfectly.

I’m fine at this point with either Cruz as Trump’s VP, or as the conservative candidate with a chance to become the nominee if Trump falters.

But I’m increasingly doubting that Trump will falter. He’s a quick study at this.

I agree.

I expected Trump to get people talking about important issues. I expected him to make the race interesting. I expected him to show that the media wants to pick winners and losers.

And I expected him to flame out pretty quickly.

I'm beginning to think that he can avoid the pitfalls and actually ride this wave.

Iron Man intro song from Marvel TV cartoons

"Tony Stark
Makes you feel
He's a cool exec
With a heart of steel"

I spent too much time in the 60's watching these cartoons, I think...

I do have an open mind... I LOVE TRUMP.. really do..
Just don’t want him as President.. a serious mistake..
maybe in a cabinet role.. But as President.. ARE YOU CRAZY..

The Trump mystique has gone rogue... it’s a fantasy..
JUST reacting to it..

Usually at Free republic ALL candidates get through thrashing and vetting..
NOT WITH the Trumpster.. HE IS THE TEFLON DON... that crawls my neck..

Besides that I don’t believe him.. OR trust him..

Maybe be different IF we didn’t have Ted Cruz.. who has been vetted..
BUT alas; WE DO... no Veep either for Trump.. cabinet maybe..
Mike Lee should be VeeP..

Actually it was the MEXICAN GOVERNMENT he was talking about who are sending their criminals to United States because they don’t want to have to handle them.

Well the “Batman” president, for better or worse, will have taken getting personal to a new level.

And that is good even if some of his policy ideas are not so good.

It will have taken the “We The People” out of the zombie zone.

I want to see him conduct negotiations. Can you imagine the Iranians screaming and threatening his sec of state? Giving absolutely nothing, and demanding all the Iranians demanded?
He can be a no nonsense guy. I like what he said about to hurt isis.
I don’t see him as a warmonger, but I think he would let the military fight for once. He could negotiate with Russia easily. You don’t have to wonder if he’s a homo like Obongo.

In short, he’s not a pussy.

Curious....

What makes you think either one would play second fiddle to the other on a ticket?
I just don’t see that happening.
