Well said and worthy of rep points.


I would not vote for Trump today, but I know people who would. They may even like other candidates policies better, but want someone who will not kowtow or knuckle under to the PC thought & word police.


Frankly I think he is too crass, narcissistic, thin-skinned and downright rude. If he could dial it back even 20%, he would be more palatable to the general electorate.
Of course compared to the dishonest political chameleon named Hillary, I'd vote for him or any of the (R's).
Still I'd like to have a choice of two decent, honest candidates. How unrealistic of me.

Waldo, none of this matters to these people. The fauxtrage/poutrage is what they're clinging to. To spend the energy they are in this non-story instead of on stuff that actually matters is outside of their capacity.

Yes indeed I am very offended by her stance as it is a refusal to acknowledge the truth, an attempt to rewrite the present reality.


The offensive part?
She is not standing for the United States.

I'm amazed at the posters who have such an intense hatred of Trump to the point where they've allowed him to live in their heads. To have such hatred and anger that eats away at them, is just incomprehensible.

Why are they not expending their energy by volunteering to campaign for Bernie or Hillary (or whoever they support)?

That would be Bernie......you can't complain about Trump lying and offending people and still vote for Hillary.

Great post. Yet there is a very vocal minority who will do this. Fortunately, there aren't enough of them to propel King Hillary to anywhere close to victory.

Living in our heads? Hatred and anger eating away at us? Projection much?

Trump occupies about 1-2 minutes/week of my time, mostly because I'm curious to see what the next stupid, offensive, false thing he says will be. He gets less of my attention than the squirrel that lives outside my balcony.

Yet four posts in this thread so far. Protest too much?

Trump is a huge supporter of Wounded Warriors. That's no secret.

Having a stepdaughter that has cerebral palsy, my initial reaction was to take offense. No, that offense wasn't anything pretended. It was not only offense but anger. Then it was pointed out to me, why should I take offense at someone who has a lower intelligence than she does? I am sure the Palin's would feel the same way. You are in a class by yourself.
Congratulations..
