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.

-— And what did Ted Cruz going to the Southern border with Glenn Beck to pass out soccer balls and teddy bears to ILLEGALS tell us about his view of Amnesty? -—

It tells me that they were compassionate enough to provide some comfort to children who were forced by their parents to travel alone, for hundreds of miles, to enter the US illegally.

At first I thought it was a joke. Ted Cruz is having a rally at Waterloo with Glen Beck? Wow.

instead of the focus on his opposition to private property rights.

Whatever.

Yep. It was a joke.

This always seems to show folks how politically correct the media are.

Now we’re discovering that suddenly conservatives are politically correct when they think it will help them out.

Selective outrage.

Manhattan voted for Obama 93-6%. Can we infer from that that Trumps neighbors are liberals?

it's stupid and arrogant and shows his narcissism and lack of class.

Your problem is that you don't understand that narcissism and lack of class are virtues in the Trumpverse.

Personally I believe America should set aside ineffective and corrupt civilian government for 4 to 5 years . Or system of governance has become so incredibly corrupted , to include the election process itself . In the meantime the real and mortal enemies are gathering and salivating over what they intend to do to America and Americans in the future , while these feckless civilian lawyers and politicians play their games . 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 .
I seriously doubt that any of these civilian politician/lawyers , to include Trump , can or will do anything truly effective to put down radical monstrous Islam . Once and for all .
We need a Putin type , or a group of Putin types . Is that Donald Trump ? I wonder

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.

Cruz supporters would love people on Fifth Avenue to be shot.

What the hell is wrong with you?

“Maybe he’s “just joking” about illegals. After all, he makes money from their labor. Or Mooslims. After all, the Saudis are “deal-makers.” “

You people have seriously lost your minds at this point. Having to reach this hard to back up a lame attempt at looking for controversy.

Seriously make an argument instead of just typing “does not/does so.”

I think Trump is a very unusual person. He gets up there and speaks for over an hour, day in and day out, not trained for this at all since it wasn’t his career choice, and is highly engaging and likeable and frequently funny..at least for a lot of us. His audience really gets involved too. He’s a true alpha.

You have to forward to the 29 minute mark to get where the rally begins.

He’s mocking them to their faces, and they can’t even see it...in fact, they eat it up.

I think Trump’s popularity says more about the lameness of all the other candidates, than it does about Trump.
