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).

No. I just can’t stand your cheerleading for Cruz. The last 10 out of 11 years I have been here, you were one of the best but Cruz support has changed you.

You exhibit some very troubling adolescent obsessions regarding the human body and its functions. I also suspect you are unfit to be seen in public.

In the past such mental infirmities guaranteed you would be institutionalized and off the streets. Unfortunately, the liberal Marxists long ago legislated mental institutions to be “unconstitutional”.

And unlocked the doors and threw the inmates out onto the streets with a prescription for a drug in their pocket, on their own recognizance.

This was the first shot fired in the war against American society by its haters.

The result was having to deal with the likes of you on the outside on a daily basis where you do not belong, and a rise in psychotic crimes committed against innocent people in America.

Take your meds and leave the fully functional people on FR alone.

We don’t owe you a damned thing.

Quote from August I never heard

“I keep whining and whining until I win.”

I did that with my parents when I was a kid and wanted them to buy me something. It usually worked.

I recall that one at the time because I kept accusing him of whining here before that and wondered if he was reading my comments.

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

depend on how bad the stench is from all the unethical wrangling that will have to take place for him to be the nominee...

there comes a point when rotten fruit is not palatable, no matter how it is blended...

It appears you cannot get a coherent thought out of your mind because its either your head up your own butt.

it also appears that you can’t formulate a grammatically coherent sentence...

Or, the next time Trump gets a colonoscope,

nor can you spell a very common procedure...

but do continue to feel free in posting; humor is hard to come by these days...

Sorry to disappoint you. After God, country comes first. Trump and his followers are riding a Hindenburg. All polls now show Trump with an insuperable 72% negative among women who make for 3% of the electorate, and as polls show this makes for a landslide for Hillary who is beating Trump by 11% points and Berne the socialist winning against Trump by 17%. If this doesn’t scare you and put country first, we are doomed.

Trump is not a successful businessman. His Trump University; Trump Shuttle, and Trump Steaks have been the signature of a conman and a snake oil salesman. This from the guy who has contributed heavily to GLBT; Pelosi; and Reid and to Planned Parenthood that does “wonderful things.”

He is out of his depth in this run for the presidency such as telling the NY Times that he will sell US assets (presumably to the Chinese) to eliminate a national debt of 19Trillion in 8 years. This is harebrained stuff that 4th graders would know better. So why would anyone in their right mind support this idiocy?

I’d rather risk a lose to trump (won’t happen) then win with Cruz. There are zero differences between Hillary and Cruz. I can’t think of one except one is allegedly a guy and one is allegedly a female.

Yes trump has character. Cruz doesn’t.

Only to those who consider that whining exemplifies character.
