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.
You are not only blind but you cannot hear either. Carson said ABC told him they were sorry because their backstage sound was lacking. Guess donnie couldn’t hear either.
If you watch Trump pat Carson’s arm reassuringly and then lean over to say something it appears he either says “there was a mixup” or “your’e next up”.
“Yes. I’ve heard it before. Didn’t make the slightest amount of sense, then, either.”
Insensible grotesqueries usually don’t make sense that is why they are called . . . oh, forget about it.
Not one word to dispute anything I posted.
your boy is an adolencent in a mans body.
Foul mouthed serial Adulterer who is so childish he bragged about it in his book...
He also would have bulldozed an old women’s home to put up a garage if.a judge would have let him. He also lied about this when called
On it during the debate last night.
All that IS documented in Trump’s books and Court documents and video from last night..
What?
Facts are tough things to overlook aren’t they?
LOl
You are not helping Ted.
Unusually verbose for a FR child of three, aren't we?
Happy FR Birthday, BTW. :)
Then you are old enough to know New York City values and the Rockefeller wing of the Republican party do not represent mainstream conservative values.
I find that gibberish is a tough thing to overlook:

Is that some sort of odd pidgin English that means something to you?
Because it doesn't mean anything to me...
Q: How can you tell when The Mouth of Manhattan wants to “buy” you hone?
A:When his paid off local politicians use the Governent thru eminent Donain to try to steal your property.
Hey this is fun......
How about How do you know Trump wants to commit adultrg with you spouse?
Don’t let facts get in the way of Trump Idolatry.
You're still stuck down on post #231?
Maybe I should type m o r e s l o w l y . . .
I am not here to defend Cruz. It’s the Trump idolatry that’s sick.
The only Americans that own property are Alaskans.
The rest of us rent from the government.
That's because the greasy Canadian is indefensible.
One person said he thought Trump said “mix it up with Ted just like we rehearsed it.”
That’s because facts mean nothing to you. Spam from thread to thread fostering the Idolatry of a foul mouthed serial adultery. Someone who lies about attempting to steal an old women’s home.
#255 you got that right!
Exactly correct.
Trump never used the F bomb!!!
