Because nothing says class more then dropping the F bomb at a rally attended by women and kids.

Or refering to Born Carson as a man with a mental disorder equivalent to a child molester.

Or bragging in his book banging married women while married himself .

Yes sir, he oozes class.

Jerry Springer show type class!

Thanks, nully. The TDS, here, is sometimes beyond ridiculous. Thanks for injecting sanity back in to the discussion.

I saw that on the news this morning, (Fox) and loved it. I thought the Donald showed more class than the rest combined, he stayed there, patted Carson on the shoulder and waited for things to play themselves out. I didn’t see how it ended, they only showed a few seconds, but it was very obvious what Trump was doing even without any commentary.

As far as I was concerned he won the debate right then and there.

Unfortunately I didn’t see it, I forgot it was Saturday night and was watching a stupid movie...you can call me a dummy...

It was indeed a great moment for Trump, and another exposing moment for Cruz, who just walked by him. Hate to be that traveler on the road needing a Samaritan when St. Ted walks by me.

What an awkward moment for Dr. Carson.

Trump did what a *southern gentleman* would do.

Although it was a *small* thing...it demonstrated a lot.

I think Trump calculated quickly ...that he had more to lose if he walked past Ben ... and more to gain if he just hung there with him. It would have been funny if they both decided to hold hands and go out on stage *skipping*. I’d pay to see that.

Yeah, you’re right. Trump didn’t hear his name called, so he sat there with Carson.

Very interesting. The man does something honorable, and of course we have the TRump bashers not willing to give the guy kudos.

Trump waited for Carson to be called again, and allowed the man to have his entrance.

These are moments in the totality of life add up to what is important.

Trump is a leader. The rest of us here, and in the media and the other candidates, are apprentices.

But, don’t take my word for it. We’ll see come Wednesday morning.

I had missed this live. I was aware that Carson couldn’t hear his name but this gesture and quick thinking by Trump will be remembered. I am struck by his self funding and giving back to the country that made him.How does any one criticize that?

Oh, it WAS noticed and was revealing. Yeb practically side-swiped Trump to get himself on the stage.

No. More. Bushes. None.

The delusion is strong on this board.

Class, my a**

When Carson was competitive with Trump, Trump had this epic 95 minute MELTDOWN at an Iowa rally:

Donald Trump compares Ben Carson to a CHILD MOLESTER suggesting that the ‘pathological temper’ that drove him to try and stab someone as a boy cannot be cured

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said yesterday that rival Ben Carson has a ‘pathological temper’ that can’t be cured any more than a child molester can be cured.

Trump first made the claim in an interview with CNN, then continued the strong criticism during a 95-minute rant at an Iowa rally.

‘If you’re a child molester - a sick puppy - you’re a child molester, there’s no cure for that,’ Trump proclaimed, other than what he called the ‘ultimate cure’ - and death.

He said he didn’t believe Carson’s story about his religious awakening in his bathroom, either, and questioned the retired neurosurgeon’s tale about nearly stabbing a friend.

Trump imitated the incident, moving his belt up and down to demonstrate how difficult it would be to strike the buckle instead of flesh, and bellowed moments later, ‘How stupid are the people of Iowa?’

‘How stupid are the people of this country to believe this crap?’ Trump said during the campaign event at Iowa Central Community College.

You must not have watched...The way Trump started out was obvious he heard his name and the way he stopped when he saw Carson standing there was obvious he realized what had happened...

Waiting with Carson showed the kind of class that a politician like the others who passed on by do NOT have....

That was a classless comment.

We noticed it right away and its the sign of a person with empathy for others and not always thinking of himself first. In my life I have known a few people like Donald Trump. Brassy and outrageous and not PC but with a heart of gold. I truly believe that Donald Trump is that kind of guy which is why I overlook some of his warts.

Some people talk about their Christian faith and some people just live their Christian faith.

I saw that live, and thought that Trump had more humanity than the others combined.
