"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.

LOL
LOL
Like Trump’s phony, PC indignation over NY values?
Everyone except people who understand what Donald Trump really is. I'd feel sorry for you people except at this point what you need isn't pity, it's a good, hard shaking to bring you to your senses.
“We begin bombing in five minutes.”
I’m supposed to disprove your bull$hit talking point?
So tell me why Cruz supports like snort coke much?
What? That’s absurd? Sorry, but that’s what I heard, make an argument so I cant wave it off, because this talking point is more important.
And those who say they won’t vote if Trump gets it, need a good hard ass kicking.
Nothing, but it's very revealing about psychological projection of his critics.
Lighten up, Francis
Again, Trump talks to people the same way people talk to their friends and family around the dinner table. If a friend made a similar content to what Trump said, and in a similar context, we wouldn’t get offended. We would all laugh and know exactly what he meant.
After hearing all the crap Liberals have said over the years, you’ll pardon me if I don’t get particularly worked up about somebody on our side finally willing to say what’s on his mind.
Liberal panties in a bunch. LOL. They Never batted an eye when the kenyan told his supporters to bring a gun to a fight.
Which, in turn, makes it even funnier! Ah, the circle of life. Bwahahaha
Do you supposed that is why he also said yesterday he’s gonna go to Washington and get in bed with the Washington Cartel?
I Don’t. I think he meant every word if it.
He’s telling you exactly what he is gonna do. Be Lyin Ryan and McConnell’s hammer to conservative issues.
“And those who say they won’t vote if Trump gets it, need a good hard ass kicking.”
Excellent.
Of course, the media neglects the context of the quote. The audience ate it up and were laughing and clapping and shouting their love for Trump.Everyone gets the joke except the liberal media and Cruz supporters.
Exactly right.
People also tend to lose any sense of humor when their guy is losing or when the person talking is their perceived enemy. They will pick apart every syllable as if the world is no longer filled with human beings, but programmable robots.
The same people scrutinizing every word however will pop open a beer and sit with their friends watching a football game and say: "Get that SOB, kill that mofo!" when their linebacker is blitzing the enemy quarterback. In their real life any number of things they utter can be taken out of context.
For New Yorkers its is even more true considering what we say when a taxi blasts through a puddle of water or our shortstop bobbles an easy grounder.
Trump is merely showing his natural blue collar roots. Having been born with a silver spoon doesn't erase that. Being a regular person is either ingrained in a person like DNA, or it is missing. He simply is not a Peggy Noonan or a Bush or a Bloomberg. They are natural born elitists.
If you sit and pounce on every word that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth or twitter, then you are simply doing it wrong. It means you have been thoroughly conditioned, as Rush says, to the politically correct ways of the brave new world. It means you can no longer recognize authenticity, let alone a wicked sense of humor.
Soooooo, humorless, then? I seriously don't think all conservative Christians are humorless but if that's your take, okay by me.
“I seriously don’t think all conservative Christians are humorless”
There is a good little clique of them on FR that are more than happy to show how much they are.
The sad part is that it’s true. The Trump supporters would deny that it happened, then excuse it, all the time moaning that it’s just the Establishment trying to hurt him.
And if you object to shooting people in the middle of Fifth Avenue, well, you’re just not a real conservative!
