Donald Trump Blasts Obama’s Military Weakness; ‘Bring Back Patton’
breitbart.com ^ | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 10/04/2015 1:41:56 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

“Bring back Patton!” Trump boomed to a cheering audience, referencing the aggressive American general from World War II, George Patton, who won the Battle of the Bulge.

*snip*

Trump continued on the theme of great American military leaders of the past. “I liked McArthur. You know, in the history of West Point, he had the highest marks. . . He would get off his plane with the corn cob pipe and the high hat and he’d say ‘Here I am, you mess with me, go ahead, mess with me,’” he pointed out.

But today, Trump added, “it’s different.”

“So they’re interviewing recently this general on television—first of all, he shouldn’t be on television, doing an interview, right?” he said as the audience applauded. “He’s supposed to be unpredictable,” Trump emphasized.

“I’ve been using that term. They said I did this great deal recently. It was a great business deal. And my other side, they were tough, but I beat ‘em,” Trump explained.

“They said, ‘You know we don’t like Donald Trump but I have to tell you he was really tough to beat because he’s so damn unpredictable. We couldn’t predict what his moves were.’ ”

“And I said to myself, our country has to be unpredictable,” Trump added to more cheers.

By your posting history, I see that Trump is living rent-free in your head.

Shew fly.

Third highest.

I think he called Vietnam correctly.

Our military won in Vietnam until Washington and the media snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Again the enemies of this country are the political class and the media.

Ain’t buyen’ it, Trump doesn’t know what he wants on the Mid East issue. First he was OK with Putin taking over, and now he doesn’t like it. He would have been believable if he came out with “not giving answers keeps our enemies guessing” idea before he was OK with Putin going in and filling the void Obama left.

Who is more conservative?

Someone who can get something done that is conservative...or someone who espouses something conservative?

Put down your martini and give us a source for that quote.

What makes you think that Trump can--or, more importantly, will--"get something done that is conservative"?

Nope. That would be one of FR's Trumpettes, you maybe.

I am a former NYer. I have watched him for 35 years. I know people who know him.

That said...you know nothing. You just keep spouting off nonsense.

I am sorry that your candidate cannot get traction. But STFU.

You are annoying at best...and at worst?

Good question, what about you? What was your MOS when you served?

I see that Trump is living free rent-free in your head.

If Trump isn't living free in your little pea brain...why are you even here?

Who is your candidate?

Sorry he can't gain traction. But who is he...Rubio? Walker? Perry?

You’re the one who, almost exclusively, posts nothing but anti-Trump posts.

You’ve really let him get under your skin.

Btw, ce, since you brought up military participation....why not answer the question posed to you, upthread?

And what was your MOS when you served?

You seem to be mocking Trump’s lack of service, what was your military MOS?

I’m a current (and lifelong) NYer, and I, too, have watched his career (and know people who know him). He’s a salesman, plain and simple, who will say exactly what his “customers” (here, his supporters) want to hear.

I am sorry that your candidate peaked 14 months before the election and is losing traction every day. But I won’t be so vulgar as to tell you to STFU - instead, I will tell you that there is room on the Cruz train, whenever you’re ready to support a real, strong, proven conservative candidate.

Have a nice day!
