Republicans never do. Don't pin it on Trump.

I'm going to take a stab at this answer. Just a guess but I think it might have something to do with the Secret Service and the time it takes to security check everyone who has a ticket to get in. Instead of having them dribble in while Trump is speaking, they want them all to be in and seated when he arrives.

Trump didn't make her bark like a dog, SHE DID THAT!

I don't get it. I have watched a number of these (not the whole thing, but ½ or so of each), and they are basically all the same. He even uses almost identical words in many sections. Nothing of substance whatsoever. All policy-related statements are general and conclusory, formed entirely in 2-3 syllable words. A lot of bragging of all sorts. A lot of bitcing and whining about the competition and everybody else, really. Poll numbers, delegate counts. . . . on and on and on.

Oh, wait, throw in some serious Mormon pandering and then bashes their elder Romney . . . ."I don't think he's a Mormon." Yikes.

Why don't you guys do something productive with your time? Like clip your toe nails or wash your pet.

Being given a fat pile of cash to start with by daddy certainly helps.

None of the remaining candidates have it, not even Hillary despite how much they try to make it seem like she does.

Money spent:

Trump - $25 Million
Clinton - $110 Million
Sanders - $81 Million

Trump is already FAR more frugal and efficient, and effective.


Another thing, literally EVERY candidate has a stump speech and says things over and over. Why single out just Trump? Let's talk about every time Hillary FAKES in front of an audience as if she's some advocate and as if it's still the 1950s, 1850s, etc.
Of course he gets free publicity, he says outrageous things that media want to cover to get ratings. The only bad PR is no PR.

I'd question your definition of a crazy or of a 'true American', but I do agree with your sentiment that continuously bringing him up only helps give him PR and keeps him on voters' minds. If anyone really wants to do their part to stop him, then just let him be, and pretend he doesn't exist. Causing a commotion at his rallies only draws media attention, effectively 'advertising' the guy.

No, that would be Daddy's million dollar starter loan and his tendency to run away from his creditors...

Well, I have a husband and children, so I wouldn't be able to identify with your paid female companions. Maybe you can ask one of them what cheap porn music sounds like? If they can't tell you, surely Mommy can.

I remember Kasich exclaiming "Jeez oh man!" at the SC debate. I remember it because it was so utterly corny.
