Uh, no. Not by a long shot.

Trump is the most gratuitously nasty public figure that this country has seen in living memory. He is the very definition of a bully: at every opportunity to kick someone when he's down, Trump takes it, while shamelessly trumpeting his own dominance. Long after former Texas governor Rick Perry had withdrawn from the primary race, Trump was still sneering at Perry's glasses and intelligence during campaign rallies and gloating about how he had forced Perry's withdrawal. New York governor George Pataki held out longer in the campaign, but he was never a threat to Trump. Yet nearly every Trump stump speech still includes a mean-spirited reference to this nonentity. Trump followers defend his penchant for ceaseless, obsessive attack on the ground that he lashes out only when he has himself been criticized. But there is virtue in proportionality. Trump escalates a conventional campaign sally into the excuse for nonstop, self-aggrandizing war.
Trump is the embodiment of what the Italians call "maleducato"--poorly raised, ill-bred. Indeed, judging by the results, his upbringing seems to have involved no check whatsoever on the crudest male instincts for aggression and humiliation. Trump is unfailingly personal in his attacks. Nor is his comportment merely a refusal to be politically correct. Trump was on solid ground when he responded to Fox News's Megyn Kelly during the first Republican debate that he had no time for political correctness. A repudiation of political correctness means truth-telling, however. Trump's personal sneers are not truth-telling but merely the self-indulgent gestures of someone who makes no effort to control his desire to humiliate.

And you are sure to tell us that Cruz plays well with others. lol
Uh, no. Not by a long shot.
The poor little muffin probably doesn’t know what a man is. One who knows how to fight that is. I’m sure she’s pining away for some girly metrosexual guy to come along and save her from that big meanie Mr. Trump.
You know she voted for Obama, right? He’s her kind of man.
What Ms. Mac Donald just said, in so many words, is that Trump isn’t a “Girly Man.”
We tried an a**hole as a president.
We have a pu**y as as a president.
Let’s try a pr**k. Got to be an improvement.
You need to grow up.
Don Rickles in the White House. Who would have ever thunk?
A real man doesn’t have man-boobs and wash his hands dozens of times a day. I will probably vote for him if he’s the nominee, but let’s be honest about what he is: a petulant, neurotic, self-absorbed man with a giant ego.
Yeah, but he’s OUR pr**k.
So you will vote for a pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, pro-pork, pro-universal healthcare, pro-gun control, pro-Obama, pro-Clinton, pro-Deblasio, crude, flip-flopping liberal, Can’t beat that for a good conservative choice.
Cruzers are great Coarseners
Vote for a strong proven liberal - vote Trump.
“Trump is the most gratuitously nasty public figure that this country has seen in living memory.”
Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and a whole host of other nasty liberal politicians that called for Bush to be assassinated to politicians calling for the death of Republicans and conservatives.
For you to post this liberal nonsense says what a liberal you have always been.
Many of the Cruzers are displaying symptoms of the butthurt Mistress Megyn, the Queen of Pain, put on little Teddie last night...
I think he’s a cagey fighter. With a lot of showman in the mix. And if I had to shake as many hands as he does in a day, I’d probbly wash my hands a bunch of times too.
You can always vote for the other dude, no?
This might really be the end of the GOP.
The poor child is off her rabies meds.
Political Correctness is cultural Marxism.
Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms.
