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.

Hmmm...Cruz at Waterloo. Sounds like a plan.

It is ironic. They might have thought through that one a bit better.

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

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

When Trump is asked, “Do you, Donald J. Trump solemnly swear...............” He will answer with the correct words and mean it.

How refreshing that will be after what we have lived through the past seven years!

Actually, it’s Trump fans who have been posting anti-Cruz articles from Huffington Post and other leftwing sources.

And Trump puts himself squarely in that camp with his attacks from the left and his announcement that we need to get a “little” establishment.

Then there’s the video where he says he hates the concept of guns and wouldn’t ban partial birth abortion.

There are always multiple threads on a topic if the source is different and the title or subject is not searched. this is the first I’ve seen it.

Humor always has a little bit of truth to it. If it didn’t it wouldn’t be funny.

“Cruz is actually a conservative, and actually a Christian”

(I know you didn’t write it).

I have great respect for my Christian, Canadian brothers and sisters but I don’t want one of them for my POTUS.

I sleep in, but not late enough to be lulled into complacency by a carnival barker.

I saw a homeless man working his "New York" values over on 81st and York a few weeks ago. Should I have not been outraged? Or should I just accept Bill de Blasio's philosophy of life?

Right - he’s marveling as to how he has people eating out of his hand - no matter what he does

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

What’s he got in his hand, American pie? I’m getting a little tired of the CANADIAN bacon Cruz is feeding us.

I thought I would finally research the balls and bears...

“A Cruz spokesperson announced to The Blaze Thursday that Cruz would be “glad to join Glenn Beck” in McAllen, Texas to “provide some relief from the suffering this administration is causing.”

“Cruz’s spokesperson, Catherine Frazier, reiterated to Breitbart News that “from day one, Sen. Cruz has been leading the charge to stop President Obama’s lawlessness, which is the direct cause of this humanitarian crisis.” She said Cruz argues that, at the same time, “these young children are very real victims of the President’s promise of amnesty-because of it, they have been subjected to horrific physical and sexual abuse from international drug cartels smuggling them into the country.”

[seems to me others are taking an event out of context]

He just insulted his supporters. And they don't realize it.

Look: We know it was a joke. We know Trump was just saying, in colorful terms, that his followers will be loyal to him no matter what. But that's not a good thing. Politicians shouldn't have followers who will, to borrow the old saying, let them get away with murder.

You sure do know how to spin a lie, don’t you? Don’t have you some windows you need to peek into, Mrs.Cravettes? You are one twisted, misguided, person. Your attacks on Trump are just like the attacks from Jane FOnda and the leftists in Hollywood, but, let’s not let facts get in the way of your hypocrisy, shall we?

Maybe, but people that won’t stand on principle arent gonna be the ones to give it. They’ll find some reason to vote liberal that day.

It’s a paean to his supporters

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

You maybe should not use words like “paean”, Cruzers won’t know you are talking about.

Repeating it doesn’t make it true.
