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.

Can’t wait for all of this to be over and FR gets back to normal where some posters actually lose their derangement, and that applies to both sides.

There are more parallels than you apparently realize...Hitler came down the middle with national socialism... Any of that sound familiar?

Get a freaking grip.

I was born in the Bronx and have relatives there. One worked at the Trade Center but was in TX that day. New York is the best city and the worst city of the U.S. (being the abortion capital of our nation). Not many cities are republican. Could have said Urban values but since NY is supposed to be the greatest city in the world it is the best example.

“There are more parallels than you apparently realize. “

Except that National Socialism and Communism are just slightly different points on the leftist spectrum..

The propaganda that the NAZI’s were “right wing” has been quite successful over the years.. and I guess in Europe or elsewhere, NAZI’s could be considered to the right of Communism - but hardly “right Wing” as we understand it... Heck it’s about 300 miles from the center...

I could have made your same case 8 years ago - with Obama, but we are nearing the end of this nonsense and he hasn’t suspended the constitution and made himself supreme ruler...

I remain with the same mindset - I am done with the GOP - Done with politics as usual, done with political correctness - done with all of it and I will be taking a chance with Trump - regardless of how much I admire and like Ted Cruz.. He is not right for this time, sorry to say..

It’s time to blow up the system and I’m all in on that.. and it has nothing to do with fear or desperation.. is has to do with being totally and completely screwed over for too long by my own party of do nothing weasels..

Nice that Trump himself agrees with those of us who note that his supporters follow him blindly.

To show compassion for children who had been forced to leave their homes to do something dangerous and illegal. To hand out a toy to a child doesn’t mean you want to give them amnesty.

Who selects the counsel? What you want will not happen until the Messiah rules, which is true justice with mercy because the judge knows the hearts and motives of the perp. Those who serve under Him will be those who are the honored “First Resurrectionists” and the armies of heaven. Sweet, eh?

Desperation, I guess.

I hate the attacks between the two candidates and I fully understand that politics ain’t beanbag, but nonetheless, I was hoping to avoid a nasty primary between those two primarily because I like both and thought they’d make the strongest ticket and help to insure the safe keeping of the WH for at least 4 + 8 years and hopefully 8 + 8 years!

The thing about Trump, consider this, is that even when he does use other people’s money, he does good things and people feel they know him because he was in their living room. They may forget he was acting (exaggerating his facial expression and body language) but even then we can read a bit into who the actor really is.

Trump is a capitalist and people want to work. If the banks wanted to they could call in his loans but he would still be able to build a business from the ground up and the government is a BIG business.

Which is a major problem. I don’t think he will make it smaller, though. Has he ever said he would? Will he cut the chaff and make our government efficient?

While building up the military will there be GREAT oversight and cuts to wasteful spending the way it was needed in Afghanistan and Iraq? Will he trash the F-35 or make it work?

Who are the people he knows who are “great people, great people?”
