Oh my god. He could have been President and ambushed by words. Hope nothing like that ever happens again. I hear Putin is a meany.

This is one of the worst arguments I have seen floating around. Before one can be president, one must be elected president. This, unfortunately, requires getting a majority of the dumbed-down, twinkie-eating, tv-watching self-drooling, facebook whores of America to vote for you. Achieving that vote requires you to play a game that most of us would have no stomach for. Trump is playing the game superbly.

If I were running for president, I would say hell yeah, bring on the Fox news a-holes and their audience plants and whatever else they want to throw at me. I ain't afraid of those sissies. Plus, Putin! And then I would get my rear end handed to me in the election by some man-child who doesn't have the balls God gave a baby rabbit because the moron voting populace would see me as either a chump who got played or a bully who got mean, or whatever other narrative that the Fox news people cooked up. I've been in fist fights, I served in the US Army in combat, but none of that would make me win this sort of machiavellian nonsense.

Trump, however, seems to know how this game is played, and he's a move or two ahead of these jackals,so God bless him.

Anyone who has ever played tournament holdem poker knows if you are the chip leader and you get down to the last table, you let the ones with minimal chips duke it out and eliminate themselves. No need to play a hand and give your opponent ammunition to later sabotage you with. You play your hand when the win means something. You can’t lose what you don’t throw in the middle.
