Trump unexpectedly cancels press availability
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/13/15 | Gabby Morrongiello

Posted on 11/13/2015 4:13:08 PM PST by markomalley

Donald Trump played it safe Friday at the 2015 Sunshine Summit, focusing his remarks on immigration and foreign policy instead of continuing his criticism of Ben Carson, and cancelling a press conference shortly after leaving the stage.

The Republican presidential hopeful made no mention of Carson during his speech despite releasing an ad targeting the retired neurosurgeon just hours prior. Within minutes of concluding his remarks and leaving the stage, Trump's campaign notified a crowded room of reporters he would no longer be available for a Q&A.

Trump's campaign did not provide a reason for the last-minute cancellation, but the GOP candidate took the stage Friday less than an hour after news broke of a series of terror attacks in Paris, France.

Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who's surpassed Trump as the GOP front-runner both nationally and in key early primary states, was scheduled to speak at the same gathering of Florida Republicans immediately after Trump.

Due to the two candidates back-to-back remarks, dozens of reporters missed several minutes of Carson's speech while waiting for Trump to arrive in the briefing room.

"Trump's been married three times. What does that tell you?"

President Reagan was married twice. Where do you draw your pious line in the line in the sand...at two and a half? A hero at two, a mean terrible sinner at three?

You undoubtedly should vote for the 52 year-old never-married swishy Linseed Graham, then, if he's more up to your lofty standards.

Trump and his wife Melania have a 16 year relationship.

So at least one wife can trust him. For now. But he's a nice guy.

Hey, wife number three can trust him. The other ones, not so much. Nice guy. I like him. But he's terrible.

Trump is a narcissistic idiot. Anyone who votes for Trump is an idiot! There is no comparison between the character of Ben Carson and the self promoting Kardashion-like Trump!

Of course that's not true but then I don't plan on voting for character, or personality or wimpiness...I'm supporting and voting for a pro American patriot...

Drink? Trump does not even drink coffee. He does not drink alcohol. Might explain his energy jetting around the country, hosting events all over the place. How many 69 year olds have so much energy?

Problem here is, Carson joined a cult. I don’t consider that a Christian conversion, do you?

If this is your line of attack I think its a loser. People get divorced. It happens. Its not the end of the world.

"Jerry (Geraldo) got 'mugged' into reality".

You got that right!

My jaw dropped when I heard him say it.

It was an epiphany moment (and a moment is probably as long as it will last with Rivera, lol).

Well, it’s not my church, but I don’t see anything in their general beliefs that would say they are going to Hell. It’s far more likely that someone who attends a PCUSa church is headed there, as they condone gay marriage as being of God.

Do you have any authoritative insight or thoughts?

I’m a Trump supporter too, despite any or all of this, and I’m a born-again Christian. I know the difference. BUT I know God can use an ungodly man for His own purpose. As He did Nebuchadnezzar. One of the earliest times I watched a partial Trump speech (except for going “yay!” to myself) I thought “Nebuchadnezzar. God will use him.” Of course, I don’t know if God thinks America is still worth the trouble these days. I hope so. If so, He may use Donald, the loud-mouth, the bull in the china shop, the impolite/un-pc, the one who knows what we need as a country and will go
wading into the sewer noisily trying to clean it up! Who else is brash enough to do it? Nobody.

So you have the prayer market cornered, do you, Mr Trump Supporter?

Glad the Big Man upstairs put you in charge of who can pray and who cannot.

I thought I’d seen some pretty low posts, but yours is in the lead for biggest loser post.

Very good post!
My first thought was Cyrus.....because God, indeed, chooses who He will use.
After watching/listening to Trump for
5 months, I have now added....

Superman
Captain America
Winston Churchill

He’s our Superhero :)

But I also pray for him to have a deeper relationship with God and I pray for his safety.

immigration just became a very winning topic today. God bless you Mr. Trump!

The Establishment press Washington Examiner didn't get a clue what was unfolding in Paris. Trump "dropped the mike" on the stage. He didn't have to say anymore today.
