The Classiest Debate Moment That No-One Noticed – Never Leave A Good Man Down
theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | February 7

Few people will talk about this, and fewer will even want to acknowledge it, but what Donald Trump did before the debate even began shows the measure of a real man's worth.

Trump and Carson

At the beginning of the ABC debate, each of the candidates were being introduced in a specific order. The first name called to the stage was Chris Christie. The applause was loud and lingered through the time when Martha Raddatz called the second candidate Ben Carson.

Dr. Carson did not hear his name called (easy to understand why when you listen to the video) and stood in the entry-way. The moderators, with their backs to the candidates, didn't notice his absence and called the third name on the list, Ted Cruz.

Ted walked past Dr. Carson and onto the stage. Carson remained in the awkward, and embarrassing position, 'no-mans-land', on-camera but out of sight of the live audience.

What happened next shows the remarkable character of Donald Trump.

The fourth name called was Donald Trump, but by then the back-stage crew and candidates were aware of Dr. Carsons' position. Trump slowly approached, and then realized the embarrassing position of a fellow candidate hanging in the wind.

Trump showed his leadership by standing right next to his friend, and not walking onto the stage.

The other names continued to be called, and proceeded as mentioned. But not Donald Trump, he remained with his colleague thereby reducing the internal anxiety felt by Carson.

It would have been very easy for Trump to walk by Ben, just like all the other candidates did. But instead he chose to wait, and remove the embarrassment factor by infinite magnitudes.

Then, like a boss, when Dr. Carson was called to the stage, Trump waited and allowed Ben to get the audience response and appreciation. It takes a lot of courage to make split second decisions like this, and it shows a remarkable insight into the man's character.

If you may vote for Cruz in SC, why are you defending the use of profanity in front of children...among the other non-presidential things that Trump does.

"elderly abusing serial adultery."

I have not committed myself to Trump,or anyone else,but what elderly abuse?
I've never seen anything about that.


The only abuse going on is self-abuse at the hand(s) of VRWCarea51.
Trump-hatred will do that to 'em every time:

My post played off of Trump's statement. I wanted to see if Trump's fellow-travelers would recognize his crass and insensible grotesqueries if they heard it a second time.

I wanted to you to see that it appeared as though you had a turtle's-eye view of "the action" in the bathroom.

As in the nasty kind of "turtle".

The hay low enough for you to get a mouthful, or do you want to keep digging to get it even lower?

TDSers are frantically searching for the video of the alleged F-bomb. But they can not find it, because Trump never uttered the actual word. Only lip readers figured it out, but that can not appear on a video sound.

Like using Atlantic City Politicians to try you steal an old women's home and then lieing about it during a debate?

Writing your rant in English would help you get your point across.

Oh, and wipe the spittle off the side of your face...

“I wanted to you to see that it appeared as though you had a turtle’s-eye view of “the action” in the bathroom.” (sic)

Let me explain it another way: I wanted to see if Trump’s fellow-travelers would recognize his crass and insensible grotesqueries if they heard it a second time.

“I suspect they sniff of their own flatulence . . .”

Stop me if you heard this before: I wanted to see if Trump's fellow-travelers would recognize his crass and insensible grotesqueries if they heard it a second time.

Let me explain it another way: me & mk have been here so long that we don't generally pay much attention to tittering from the Kiddie's Table section of Free Republic.

Yes. I’ve heard it before. Didn’t make the slightest amount of sense, then, either.

#225 Hr attempted to steal an elderly woman’s home by getting Atlantic City Politicians to try to take the home under eminent domain so the Mouth of Manhattan could build a Garage for his Casino.

A judge finally shut them down, however The Mouth likes to claim he changed his mind and didn’t want it. Probably like 10 Seconds after his lawyer informed him the Court stopped it from happening.

Okay. But you’re STILL not helping attract FReepers to Cruz.

Q: How can you tell Ted Cruz has been to your house?

A: There’s a shaming letter on your front door. :-)
