One of the most infuriating things about politicians, including Donald Trump, is that they do not answer simple questions. Trump is a master of evading, and then changing subjects. Or, the questioner gives up in awareness of the ticking clock. I've written several "journalists" about my disappointment that they don't insist on an answer. When politicians are able to obfuscate, and run out the clock, they will never be accountable to give the information. Move written Chris Wallace that if the question is important enough to ask, he should keep repeating it until it is answered. I tend to agree with the author that Trump is "gas lighting" his way to a nomination. Some don't see it - and some do.

Pass this on to Bernie, cuck:

Actually if you watch Trump during these town hall interviews, and watch Cruz, Trump actually answers the questions.

Cruz dodges them

David Marcus is gaslighting us.

[BereanBrain]

another endorsement for Trump - when unhinged associations are made about him, it only burnishes his image...

Hey Jack, you’ve been a victim of this game evidently.

Sucker!

So many Trump derangement threads...so little time.

Ted Cruz is the Sgt Bergdahl of the Conservative movement.

Somebody’s doing the gaslighting but don’t believe it’s Donald Trump. At. All.

How to explain Trump:

[AndyTheBear]

Trump is the most available outspoken unguarded pol I have ever seen. He has been shockingly so. He even has outbursts on twitter.

I will grant he does not let himself be constantly on the defensive over attempted scandals that the press generates. And when being forward about them, he may make mistakes most people would make in such a case, if they are not careful to talk in lawyer-ease. But I think that is pretty cool and refreshing.

But think about this. The reporter's version of events was more wrong than Corey's. I am not saying either lied. This is normally what happens when you ask eye witnesses about things and they are forward and honest. They get facts wrong.

The fact Corey got wrong was quite plausibly due to confusion and haze about events. He knew he had not attacked anybody or roughed anybody up, so when asked about its not surprising he said "I never touched her". Can't remember everybody guide out of my way or out of the secret service and Trumps way he goes through a throng, which he likely does a lot, probably when thinking about stuff that is actually not ridiculous like the possibility of being blatantly falsely accused of battery. Its absurd to conclude he is a scoundrel or lying.

The characterization the reporter got wrong had to be dishonest on some level Not saying she made a conscious decision to lie. She may just be the kind of person who exaggerates in order to induce pity as a developed character trait. As for Corey its natural being falsely accused of attacking someone you might be curious to find if they had such a habit, and go figure she does....

Gas-lighting? Yeah, there is some of that going on, but not from Trump.

The play focuses on an abusive husband in the 1880s who convinces his wife that she is going crazy.

Interesting method of accusing Trump of domestic violence. When did this author stop making false accusations? Inquiring minds want to know.

He turned the great brown hope of the GOP into George Lopez tossing out one-liners while destroying his presidential hopes

Marco Rubio ran on a tea-party ticket and then cowed to Boehner. Also if Rubio can't take a few insults, what is he going to do when terrorists insult him?

He made Jeb Bush, the scion of a great conservative family, look small.

Jeb Bush was running on a platform of "It's my turn. If criticized, my mother will support me."

He took the mighty Chris Christie who can tame angry New Jersey protesters and made him a teddy bear sidekick.

If Christie can do that and Trump can over power him, what will happen to ISIS?

In Hamilton’s play, there is a detective called Detective Rough. He takes a dim view of the abusive husband’s explanations. He thinks the poor woman is being taken for a ride. And he works diligently to find out exactly how. He tries to figure out what the abuser has to gain. And he finds something.

I think America is being taken for a ride by people who should not be in office. Donald Trump is exposing how. The Republican party keeps running weak candidates who can't take a couple of punches. The Democrats have been able to walk all over the Republicans, but if they receive a couple counter punches, they go away too.

This moment occurs every time Trump is interviewed. At a certain point the anchor gives up. So what if he’s lying and we know it. We have to get along here. And maybe I’ll look like I’m a bully, like that Megyn Kelly, if I press it too hard.

If journalists were willing to run half honest investigations, I'd have more sympathy.

In the play, Detective Rough eventually discovers that there are illicit riches in the couple’s attic.

Like how there are riches to be made in America by exporting jobs, importing people to take the jobs that are here, and exploit high school students by telling them that college will give them a leg up in life and then charge lots of money for the privilege of going to college.

Or of course it go be the some don’t agree with the author’s specious analysis

[unsycophant]

This blog is operated by people who are almost all Cruz supporters, so naturally whatever they write will tend to favor their guy in a snarky, condescending way.

Naturally, it’s not worth reading for that reason, and whatever the subject is, I may never know.

Marcus grants Trump the skills the GOP-e has been practicing and refining for decades.

You’re a dick, Marcus.
