Donald Trump: I could ‘shoot somebody’ and still have support (audience laughing and clapping)
Washington Post ^

Posted on 01/23/2016 12:36:42 PM PST by springwater13

"They say I have the most loyal people - did you ever see that? - where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters," Trump said, illustrating his point by pulling his fingers into a gun shape. "Okay? It's like incredible."

The crowd laughed and clapped, and someone in the audience shouted out love for the candidate.

"We love you, too, man," Trump said.

Trump's comment came during a campaign rally Saturday at Dordt College in northwest Iowa. The 1,500-seat theater completely filled, hundreds more watched his speech from an overflow room.

I can’t resist. Why can’t you Cruzers obsess about Cruz’s birthplace or his Goldman Sachs loan or his recent support of a five-fold increase in H1B visas? Instead, you go all 4th dimensional about a joke.


It’s not just Goldman Sachs loans. Cruz has gotten plenty of campaign cash from Goldman Sachs. $100,000 to be exactly. He’a bought and paid for career politician. The five-fold increase in H-1B was HIS IDEA. Cruz wrote the bill and supported it for TWO YEARS until Trump forced him to change his position.

Unfortunately, there’s a lot of issues Cruz supporters see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil about.

Oh, boo-hoo. I insulted Cruz supporters. If you had to read about NY residents what I’ve had to read in the last two days, you’d ask what was wrong with your fellow supporters.

So tell me why Cruz supports like snort coke much?

I apologize.

I thought English was your native language. Apparently not.

As for the rest, these are Trumps own words. I know tomorrow they will mean nothing. I know the day after that they may be operative again ... until noon, or whenever the big cuckoo clock in his brain strikes the right hour.

At that point, your defense will once again be "Trump is Great. Trump is Winning."

And FRiend, that is not a defense of anything.

Trump only has one "God."

And that is indeed the "God" we're afraid of.

I see that name on a posted article and I just scroll right on by it because I know it is just another Trump hit piece among the dozens he/she posts every day

If it keeps up after Trump becomes the nominee, watch the zots start flying.

He was commenting about how the pollsters viewed his supporters. You can easily hear the audience laughing.

Certainly not the one holding all the faux-outraged New York "conservatives."

If you live in New York, you should know Trump is a phony. Also has been, always will be.

There is always an excuse for Trump. His words never mean anything. Do they?

You Cruzbots are siding with the likes of Jane Fonda and the Hollywood left. Politics sure do make strange bedfellows, don’t they? Define conservatism. Most Republicans think they are conservative, and some are on some issues. I’m not voting for a Sunday School teacher or a pastor - I’m voting for a strong leader of the free world - one that has the ability to straighten out this mess the politicians have made. And, YES< that includes Mr. conservative, Christian, Cruz - lover of teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal invaders. Lover of the Corker bill and liar about his bank loans.

Well...to me, it would depend on WHO he shoots!

*******************************

Haven’t you been reading the gun threads? It’s the caliber of the gun and the brand name that is important, after that it’s, “did he shoot him center mass and if he didn’t, he needs more range time”.

Get caught up Frank.

I would love to see a national Defense Counsel of selected , military , combat experienced , active duty and retired . Who could then appoint a civilian administration under them while they handled foreign affairs and prosecute the wars against radical Islam ,wherever it is found .

Are we all telling jokes now? Stop me if you've heard this one...
