If he can't even stand up to people in his own party and "be himself"---the self that got him this far---how is is going to stand up to world leaders? He's really a weak man (and I use the term 'man' lightly). We admonish school children from name calling and bullying but he started out doing it on the very first night that he threw his hat in the ring.
Really, attacks on using a teleprompter? Are Hillary and Obama held to the same standard?

The guy is nothing but a loud mouth blowhard that puts forth nothing of substance regarding Americas future other than the vacuous argument that he will make America great again, Excuse me Don but IMO America was never not great.
You just called out Trump for juvenile names while at the same time calling him a loud moth blowhard.

Sounds like a 2nd grader whining about being called a poo-poo head.

What goes around, comes around. Haters have been attacking Obama for using a teleprompter for nearly nine years. And as recently as a week ago Trump was attacking/making fun of Hillary over using one. There is true irony in that and if you can't see the humor in this little tit-for-tat, I'm sorry. "My name is Montego. Prepare to die." Trump will get taken down by a teleprompter, now, whether he uses one or not. He'll be as bland as milk toast with it which won't please his groupies and without it he's continue to insult major groups of people. He doesn't seem to understand, for example, that every time he uses the term 'Pocahonta' as an insult he's insulting more than just Warren.

No different than those on the left who refer to Mr Trump as 'Drumfp'. It is political sarcasm. The Pocahontas, more aptly Fauxcahontas sarcastically refers to Warren's claim of Indian, err Native American ancestry; where non-exists. Hey, it worked for affirmative action purposes though.

How on earth can one not understand political sarcasm in this contest? Nothing to do with maturity, from either side.

edit: Might want to check out alfieboy's - a Hiller if ever there was one - thread title. Talk about goofy.

Can you see him telling Israel that their wall around the Palestinians is "goofy"? Well, no, actually, he would probably be asking them for the contact info on the engineer who built it, as he really loves walls. If elected, he will immediately travel to China to visit their wall, and pick up a couple of extra ties from his overseas production.

So essentially you don't care about teleprompters...you're just attacking Trump because others attacked Obama and Hillary for using teleprompters? Dat maturity.

Oh, I'm dead serious about pointing out one of Trump's many lies. (He should never be allowed near the nuclear codes with his personality disorder.) I'm just having fun while doing it.

“I’ve started to use them a little bit,” he said during his May address to the National Rifle Association. “They’re not bad. You never get yourself in trouble when you use a teleprompter. You know the problem is, it’s too easy. We have a president who uses teleprompters, it’s too easy. We should have non-teleprompter speeches only when you’re running for president, you find out about people. The other way you don’t find out about anybody."

Trump and the teleprompter: A brief history - POLITICO

Did you lie? Since we're throwing out "should nevers" - should never be allowed to post on politics.

Speaking of respect, why don't you guys go read up on Pocahontas and that other lying SOB John Smith?

No, not the Disney version.
