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.

Nice try but I don’t think so. He was reassuring Carson. I loved Cruz’s smirky arms up sucks to be you shrug as he weaseled past and Jeb’s get outta the way pat.

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..

I'm going to start up a collection to bulldoze YOUR house,
you're a one trick pony with too much time on your hands.

I respect your dotage but I am not here to wipe spit off your chin, I am here to defend conservative thought and to expose Trump's New York City/Rockefeller values.

“#225 Hr attempted to steal an elderly woman’s home by getting Atlantic City Politicians to try to take the home under eminent domain-—”


You call that elderly abuse? I call it a questionable real estate deal.

BIG difference.

Things are nasty enough in this election season without tossing out inflammatory,and false, accusations.

“Maybe not, but you�¿½€™re still just a pile of horse pucky.”

Reviewing your posts and Trumps key talking points, I am starting to see a scatological trend line - but not much on why Trump should be president.

Try not to look into your shaving mirror there pilgrim.

but not much on why Trump should be president.

You just haven't "reviewed" enough. Now go on and feed that stick horse some good ol' Maypo oatmeal, "eat it horse".

It was only a moment of confusion.

Bad audio and crowd noise; neither Carson nor Trump heard their call. Trump missed it the second time as well. Heard it on the third.

The “class” is author’s spin. Watch it again:
