Trump Criticizes Carly Fiorina’s Looks: ‘Look At That Face!’
The Daily Caller ^ | September 9, 2015 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 09/09/2015 10:49:08 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Donald Trump took shots at several of his fellow Republican presidential candidates in a Rolling Stone profile published on Wednesday, but it’s his comments about Carly Fiorina’s physical appearance that are attracting the most attention....

“Look at that face!” he cries. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” The laughter grows halting and faint behind him. “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”

Asked what she believes Trump meant by the comment about her face, Fiorina said “I have no idea.”

“Honestly, Megyn, I’m not going to spend a single cycle wondering what Donald Trump means. But maybe, just maybe, I’m getting under his skin a little bit because I am climbing in the polls.”

Fiorina was far from the only GOP contender that Trump mocked in the Rolling Stone article.

Moments before his comment about Fiorina, Trump and his aides appeared to joke about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s mental acuity.....

the one that could save them and us

Where have I heard this sort of rhetoric before? All that's missing are the faux Greek columns.

no one donates out of a deeply held conviction on who is best for the country?

Some do. But those who donate to both parties certainly do not.

American columns is the difference. Trumps columns do not prop up Islam.

Yup. That’s why so many FReepers love him. He’s a belittling, nasty, petty, angry whiner ... but he’s “our” belittling, nasty, petty, angry whiner.

Those who rally behind this man when he says such nasty things are pathetic. Just like their lord and savior Trump.

“Burn it all down.” Right, Trumpistas?

It is not my view as I am not an islamist. Islamists view women as inferior, that is pretty obvious to anybody who cares to look. If you think women are treated equally to men in the Islamic world, you are obviously not paying any attention. We have enlightened western values that people in the middle east do not share. I am certain that radical islamists think what they think about Merkel based on her sex. It is what they do. I have always suspected that at a least part of the reason Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and started GW1 is because he did not take our female ambassador to Iraq seriously enough. It is fine for us to have our values but when we send women and openly gay people to be diplomats in certain Islamic countries, we need to keep in mind that bad outcomes may result because many people in those countries don’t share our views.

Unfortunately, Americans are thought to be like Trump. When I lived in Greece as a student, I’d see American tourists. They were loud and rude, some wearing cowboy hats. Embarrassing. Many WWII vets. Cocky, brash. No push overs. Now everyone pushes us around.

This country is in trouble, like never before.

There are more American tourists who are not as you’ve described.

But your argument is that we should choose our leaders based on Islamists being sexist. Thankfully, again, I’m quite certain that is not Trump’s view.

And our female ambassador to Iraq was communicating what she’d been told to communicate. It was what she said, not that she was female, that, if anything, contributed to Iraq’s move. Your argument makes no sense, since if Saddam didn’t take her seriously he would have had less reason to invade Kuwait, not more.

Once more, no, we should no more choose our leaders for communicating with the Islamic world based on their prejudices than we should refrain from depicting Mohammed in cartoons.

You’re wasting your time arguing with these people. They get their news on Trump from the MSM. I wake up each morning, and scour the headline to find a negative headline about Trump, then they post it here to get a rise from us.

IT doesn’t work. In fact, makes me like the guy even more. People don’t realize that Trump is playing us all like a fiddle. His comments are made for the global audience. He’s not focused on some base group. In fact, he’s getting traction with Tea Party, Democrats, Blacks, Hispanics etc. It’s amazing.

I read the RS article it was actally very good. The Fiorina comment taken out of context and spoken weeks ago when she was biting at him at the time also.

I’m not going to argue with you as you skew it to rest your case. YOu must be a Capricorn.

It is always good to have context. These are the portions of the article in which Fiorini is mentioned:

What did Fiorini say about Trump's momentum that he was responding to?

But those who donate to both parties certainly do not.

You mean like Donald Trump? Hah. Couldn't resist. But I do agree with you: those who play both sides of the street are just political opportunists buying influence with whoever wins.

Not chicken at all. And no Jim is not on it. He’s more or less a Cruz guy who thinks Trump may be either blowing a hole of opportunity open for Cruz - or who may be the only one with a chance of beating Jeb for example.

Those kinds of intellectual calculations I respect, whether or not I agree with them.

You have restored my faith in FReepers. I am shocked so many have fallen for Trump's schtick. Most here turned on Romney for flip flopping. How could they support Trump?

[...so do you believe...]

What I believe is that very liberal groups either by individual or by CPACs donations have been responsible for keeping the Washington Cartel in business for a long, long time.

Since they funnel money through many different names and organizations, the APPEAR to be legitimate people or group attempting to support a (r)epublican candidate.

Maybe you didn’t donate Carly, but you sure sat on the board of the Clinton Foundation. Hypocrite! Jeb also talked with Bill Clinton before running - why isn’t Carly mentioning that fact? Because she’s a GOPE plant - that’s why.
