Trump celebrates victory at any cost, even winning by whining
msn ^ | 4/5/2016 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 04/05/2016 8:55:53 PM PDT by Hoodat

"I can only say this: My whole life has been about winning. My whole life," Donald Trump told The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in a free-ranging interview over the weekend. "My life has been about victories. I've won a lot. I win a lot. I win - when I do something, I win. And even in sports, I always won. I was always a good athlete. And I always won. In golf, I've won many club championships. Many, many club championships. And I have people that can play golf great, but they can't win under pressure. So I've always won."

Let's put aside Trump’s myriad failures in life: Trump steaks, Trump University, Trump casinos, a Trump magazine, Trump airlines, etc. It's no surprise Trump talked a lot about winning because he has never stopped talking about winning. On the stump, he says things such as, "We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning. Believe me." He even defends his constant whining as a kind of brilliant strategy for winning: "I keep whining and whining until I win."

That bit is funny, given that his other favorite concept is strength, which is not normally associated with whining. As far as I can tell, he talks about the need for strength a hundred times more than he ever talks about, say, liberty or the Constitution (in the roughly 18,000-word transcript of his Post interview, these phrases appear exactly zero times).

You bet.

Trump is a conman (Trump University) a snake oil salesman (Trump Taj Mahal Casino; Trump Shuttle; Trump Steaks) is losing to Hillary by 11% points and to Bernie by 17% point, is viewed unfavorably by 70% of the women who make up 53% of the electorate, and now settled a case involving criminal conduct. Nice.

Oh, and not to mention, a potential First Lady who posed seductively nude in a Men’s Magazine so that men may leer at her and have their sexual fantasizes fulfilled, all in return for a seven figure paycheck. Apparently, the Donald’s billions were not enough.

There’s a word for people who talk about themselves like that, it rhymes with glass bowl.

Did Donald Trump actually say this or is it a joke?

Whatever. 37 percent of republican voters are not voting for Cruz no matter what. I hope he has enough establishment to replace them.

I take issue with the view of Melania Trump. She is far more qualified to be First Lady than Donald is to be POTUS. And she is far more qualified to be First Lady than Bill Clinton is to be First Gent.

You won’t vote for Cruz if he is the nominee?

Meanwhile, Cruz's wife will be heavily medicaTed. Wouldn't want another meltdown.

Wrong. The photospread was taken on Trump’s plane.
