Last month, the GOP front runner and real estate mogul said he could shoot someone in cold blood and he would maintain his lead with voters.
“They say I have the most loyal people,” Trump said in January, “Where I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay? It’s like incredible.”
On Tuesday, during a pre-caucus rally in Nevada, Trump repeated his claim that he could kill someone without consequence, at least in the polls.
“Sixty-eight percent,” he said, “would not leave under any circumstance. I think that means murder, I think it means anything, okay?”
I think it's official, Donald Trump has found the scariest, non-ethical people in the country to come out and support his campaign.
And many of them must live in Nevada, because Trump destroyed his competition in last night's caucus.
By the way, just in case anybody is wondering, I am currently a Hillary supporter. But if she kills somebody, I'm switching to Sanders.
Just thought I should put that out there.
I live in a town that has a high Hispanic population. The High School is 50% Hispanic.At the last basketball game everytime a Hispanic kid went to make a basket or freethrow the opposing team fans would start yelling Trump Trump Trump to try and rattle the players. That is Disgusting!!!!!! This man scares me. He is insane and his followers are even crazier. He brings out the worst in people! These are scary times we live in.
ReplyDeleteAnd Democrats are not turning up to vote in the primaries. Out numbered in 3/4 primaries. Record numbers for the GOP.
DeleteWTF is wrong with the liberals?
Holy crap!
DeleteOT, but just as scary: a headline from over at PoliticusUSA - "Obama weighs Republican Nevada governor for Supreme Court"
DeleteNothing is wrong with Democrats. Most of us would be quite content with eiher Bernie or Hillary.
DeleteOnce it comes down to Bernie or Hillary, the Dems will finally get out there and really rally and make sure that there's a huge voting turnout in the general election. I can't wait for the day when Pres. Obama can do that, too.
DeleteWhat is wrong with liberals? I'll tell you. Here's what happens when you vote for a Democrat for president. He just may appoint a commission that recommends screwing over the poorest Social Security recipients. He just may support a noxious trade agreement that gives corporations even more power to protect their profits than they already have, at the expense of local worker and environmental protections. He just may float the idea of nominating a Republican to the Supreme Court. His chief of staff just may call liberals "retarded." I could go on. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
DeleteThe point is, when you can't trust a Democratic president to govern like a Democrat and appoint 100% Democratic nominees to the Supreme Court, why bother to vote?
You tell me.
1:15 - why bother to breathe? You tell me.
Delete(If you're this cynical about life...)
1:15PM says "What is wrong with liberals?"
DeleteAnd every sane person stops reading right there.
1:15 is what's wrong with liberals.
Delete(it's why my Senator is Corey Gardner)
Please explain what's wrong with expecting a Democratic president to ACT like a Democrat, 2:25? Or are you happy that Obama might nominate a Republican to the Supreme Court?
DeleteI'm a liberal. And I hold Democratic politicians to that standard. If they act like Republicans, I see no reason whatsoever to reward them with my vote. And if you are unaware of all the times that Obama has, of his own volition, acted like a Republican, or if it doesn't make you question his commitment to Democrats, then you are the same as a Bush lover during the last Administration who excused ever crap thing Bush did.
1:15 - a proud liberal who doesn't make excuses for MyPresident
2:46 - maybe you live in a fairy tale world of liberal purity tests?
DeleteAnonymous1:15 PM,
DeleteSo you want a liberal, but your only Democtratic option is a centrist, therefore you hand the election to an extremist conservative? Well that makes a WHOLE lotta sense /s. Hope you enjoyed the GWB years because a conservative White House, Senate and Congress AND SCOTUS is going to make those years look like Camelot.
Anonymous1:04 PM
DeleteDemocrats especially really liberal democrats rarely vote because they've "given up on the system". That's pretty pathetic. A self-fulfilling cynicism.
She did kill thousands in voting for Iraq war
ReplyDeleteHillary didn't personally kill thousands of people any more than any other politician did during that time period. Unless you protested the war in a public way, you are just as responsible as Hillary, We were all duped.
DeleteBushCo lied about Iraq so people believed they had WMD. That's on BushCo.
DeleteBushCo lied, but plenty of people didn't believe his lies. I never did. Bernie Sanders didn't. But Hillary Clinton did. If she's that credulous -- that's on her.
Delete1:17 I didn't either. I had a few fights with friends about it. But I Watched all 11 hours of the Benghazi hearings last fall,and Hillary knows the world and foreign policy (and domestic policy) better than ANYONE I've seen running on any ticket this cycle--better than Jill Stein, better than St. Bernie (who I like a lot). The world is more complex now; we need someone who already knows this.
DeleteDo I wish HRC had not voted for the aural war? Sure. So does she. She wasn't the only one in the Democratic Party to do so, by any means.
Oops ^^ Iraq war...
Delete@1:17 prove it! I don't believe you. Unless you show us all proof , you're just as guilty as Cheney and Bush.
DeleteGrow up.
Delete1:50, I have plenty of emails with friends from those days that detail the fights I had with them over. Post your email address, and I'll send them to you.
Delete1:17
Tell you what 2:48, you send your emails to Gryphen and he can read them and post his opinion. I'm not posting my email in a public forum. Btw who keeps 10+ year old emails???
DeleteAlso too, none of us are running for office, the burden of proof isn't on us to say how or why we support Hillary Clinton.
DeleteIf there is only one thing that Trump got right it’s his recent attack of the Bush administration on Iraq, and their lying to the American people and to Congress about Iraq having WMD. The Congress unfortunately believed them when they stated that Iraq had WMD’s when they.
DeleteThe UN knew there were no WMDs from their many and continuous inspections in Iraq, which is why they turned down Powell’s request for the UN to join the US in attacking Iraq. Powell was sent to the UN with the Bush/Chaney lies that he was not aware of the lies they were sending him with to be used to convince the UN. Later Powell was angered when he found out that Bush/Chaney had lied to him and to the UN for the reasons why we needed to attack Iraq. It was a major lie that cost us between 4,000 and 5,000 lives, not including the many more injuries and disabilities to our young men. That’s not counting the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens who were also killed and injured by our invasion, or for the destabilization of the government of Iraq and all of the problems that created afterwards and today.
Obama had to leave Iraq due to an agreement Bush made to the Iraqi government which the Republicans have been blaming Obama for leavingIra too early when he had to because of Bush’s agreement. But of course the Republicans never mention that when they criticize Obama.
Anonymous1:48 PM,
DeleteThat's my feeling too. If anyone's learned their lesson about incorrect or manufactured intelligence, it's Hillary.
Well, they stitched him together and now he's throwing little girls in the lake, terrorizing the countryside and holding his creators hostage. They got their wish and the fucking ape cannot win the general election.
ReplyDeleteA very odd example.
ReplyDeleteThere have been several articles about Trump's followers being Authoritarians, which explains why the fundies and religious whackjobs love him--they're Authoritarians, too.
ReplyDelete"By the way, just in case anybody is wondering, I am currently a Hillary supporter. But if she kills somebody, I'm switching to Sanders."
ReplyDeleteOK, but what if Hillary and Bernie got together and killed Trump?
I am a Hillary supporter but I'd consider Trump if he shot Ted Cruz in cold blood.
DeleteTwo words, Vince Foster.
ReplyDeleteTwo words: conspiracy theorist. And I'll evem give YOU an extra whackaloon
DeleteTwo words: conspiracy theorist. And I'll evem give YOU an extra whackaloon
DeleteOne word, fool.
DeleteOh, blow it out you ass you goof.
DeleteConspiracy theorist far right nut job!!!
DeleteTwo words too many.
DeleteWhat about Vince? Is this a game of Clue you Whackjob?
DeleteJust as I thought, when a comment hits too close to the truth other commenters get really, really mad.
DeleteSometimes they post the same comment twice (oh wait 3 times with a modification on the third) or they immediately go all "conspiracy theory"!
3:55 - ooooohhhh, ghost of Vince Foster...Deep, dude, deep!
DeleteBRNGHAZI!!!!
DeleteHe's bringing out the worst in people. I haven't settled on a candidate yet but I know it won't be him--he's an obnoxious narcissistic jerk.
ReplyDeleteIt will be him if Democrats don't vote. And plenty of them won't vote for Hillary Clinton because she might as well be a Republican. She is a chickenhawk, she is willing to restrict third trimester abortion, she is best buds with Wall Street and Walmart and every bazillionaire in between who contributes funds to her foundation to get special treatment in return, and she is willing to deport desperate poor children to be murdered in the countries they barely escaped with their lives from, while hanging out with the likes of Mr. and Mrs. Trump. Hillary Clinton is a Republican in all but name, and she used to be be one.
Delete2:52, think you are on the wrong blog.
Delete2:52 if you can't see the difference between Clinton and the current crop of Republicans you need your eyes (and brain) checked.
DeleteAnonymous2:52 PM,
DeleteIf she "might as well be republican", then at least she is a centrist "republican". I defy you to name a centrist running for the GOP.
That's not the half of what he said. He actually said "I love the poorly educated!!"
ReplyDeleteAnd the crowd cheered.....
https://www.yahoo.com/politics/trump-i-love-the-poorly-educated-144008662.html
That statement just shows you the real Trump. He is a con man. I heard that he has to testify in a court case about his "university" that has been charged with fraud by some former "students."
DeleteOMG! What is wrong with you people? Get your heads out of your asses and vote for the Democrat who can beat this maniac. And I still love Obama and think he is a great president. Lame Duck, my ass. That term is used to describe the sitting president after the new president is elected, not just because The Turtle wants to be obstinate.
Fuck Trump.Nothing but a gas bag.
ReplyDeleteHey, did Donald send any thanks to Palin this time?
ReplyDeleteI was also looking at her social media yesterday and only seeing stuff about the Iron Dog, not to go vote for Trump.
Trump could throw the pregnant Ivanka down on the stage and have sex with her, and his supporters would love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd when the media stopped people as they left the rally and asked people questions about it, the supporters would smile (and maybe even shed a tear) and say, "Oh, that poor Donald's been fighting the urge for so long now. I am so happy for him. God bless him."
Ugh.
Well, Ivanka is carrying her daddy's baby, so there's that.
DeleteThe Trumpfools must swear allegiance to Fuhrer Trump,
ReplyDeleteThe problem with someone like Trump who feels that way is they think they can do ANYTHING they damn well please because their core supporters would remain loyal. If he felt the need to round up all Muslims (or any other religious group or any group that doesn't support him) and have them executed, he'd do it because he feels he can get away with it. This is how third world countries end up with dictators who plunder the masses.
DeleteWhere is Sarah?! Why isn't she out there rah-rah-rahing for Trump ?
ReplyDeleteYeah, there's been nothing from her re Trump since she posted days ago about the SC primary. She didn't say a thing about Nevada. She's clearly po'd that she hasn't been wanted. If she really believed in Trump, she'd post stuff all the time and with no expectation of anything in return. She's acting as if her mind has only been on the Iron Dog. Yeah, right!
Delete...because she might say something really stupid--and she already has enough shit going on in her backyard = bad press. Bad press not good. Layin' low --doesn't want to blow a chance at being a Trump appointee. There's no way he would--she's not that bright and her brawlin' family..... it would be an embarrassing shit show and he knows it. P.S. his kids don't get into public messes.
Delete~Canuck~
Given that Todd is off running Iron Dog she has to hang around the compound making sure no one gets arrested.
DeleteYou do remember what happened last time they both left Wasilla together, right?
OFF TOPIC My apologies! News today: Pres Obama is said to be vetting Brian Sandoval--the GOP gov of Neveda!!! :) A moderate--one of their own. Oh they're so screwed now, they're damned if they do ("They'll cave") damned if they don't (He's Latino)
ReplyDeleteI love watching this pres outmanoeuvre those Senate %@#'s. They make it easy because they're so knee-jerk stupid!!!
~Canuck~
Canuck, is he Pro -Choice? I have not researched it yet.
Delete"andoval is pro-choice; while he's not exactly pro-marriage equality or pro-Obamacare, as governor he abandoned the state of Nevada's legal efforts to enforce a same-sex marriage ban and has not opposed the implementation of the Affordable Care Act."
Deletehttp://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/02/24/obama_might_nominate_republican_governor_brian_sandoval_to_supreme_court.html
I'd prefer a hard-line liberal.
2:22 - me, too, but the President is trying to make sure Dens win the White House in 2016.
DeleteTrump is running according to Sarah Palin's advice. He is exactly like her. He's plastic-ugly, a racist, a liar, unintelligent, loud and egotistical- Sarah's equal in every way except one: he is popular, she is deeply unpopular.
ReplyDeleteNo decorum at all!
DeleteOf course she's behind it.
OT here too. What is up with E! now coming out with a long story about the history of Levi and Bristol? I just saw it.
ReplyDelete"he could shoot someone in cold blood and he would maintain his lead with voters."
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's preparing his dumbass supporters for a confession....
Let's all picture for a moment Republican Presidential nominee Donald J. Trump. Now, with what we know about his 'campaign' tactics, imagine what he's going to throw at HRC. (Do I need to link to her scandals/lies?). And how is she going to respond; "Why are you picking on me?"
ReplyDeleteLooking at it that way, she is literately unelectable!
You wanna win or just say "at least we tried"?
Seriously, think about it. Bernie Sanders, up and down ticket, the only chance we really have.
http://static.currentaffairs.org/2016/02/unless-the-democrats-nominate-sanders-a-trump-nomination-means-a-trump-presidency
Peace.
The problem is that Bernie hasn't really been vetted yet. All Hillary's "scandals" are out there, they're old news. Anything they bring up on Bernie (no matter how small and meaningless) will be BREAKING NEWS and fodder for talk ad nauseum.
DeleteAll you will hear for three months is conscientious objector, socialist, and communist. We liberals don't mind those labels but do you think the voters in the south, the rust belt, and the midwest would mind those labels? Unless the Dems can get people in DROVES to the polls (and Bernie was not able to do it either as was shown in Nevada) then it looks like Trump will be the President unfortunately for ALL of us. I really don't think Democrats feel like it's a big deal and it's infuriating.
DeleteHere's a 14 point expose: ;~)
DeleteBernie Sanders is the Worst Presidential Candidate in History, and You and All Your Friends are Idiots
http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/02/bernie-sanders-is-the-worst-presidential-candidate.html
12. Bernie Sanders is a single issue candidate
Hillary has really backed him into a corner with this point. Hey Bernie, why don’t you try broadening your horizons? Seriously, the only thing this guy cares about is the stupid economy, and how it affects manufacturing, crime, drugs, health care, agriculture, climate change, trade, youth unemployment, immigration, energy, real estate, banking, civil rights, race relations, poverty, education, criminal justice, financial and corporate regulation, voting rights, equal pay for women, national infrastructure, social security, veterans’ rights, and, sure, foreign policy too.
Sorry Bernie fans, but your guy is a simplistic dipsh*t.
If Trump committed murder, could he run for president from his prison cell? When that man speaks, he sounds like a child.
ReplyDeleteIf Hillary keeps troops in Iraq/Afghanistan (pick a middle eastern country) she is killing someone.
ReplyDeleteIf Sanders keeps troops in Iraq/Afghanistan..........he is killing someone.
Please stop with these type of articles, Trump is joking around, he isn't going to kill anyone directly. Instead, delve into the ugly deaths taking place behind the nice, polite facade of our smiling candidates on all parties, while they allow our Military Industrial Complex to carryout death and destruction world wide.
Now that would be a good read.
There is surely a blog out there somewhere where you could get a "good read" as you are suggesting. You might even be able to start your own blog with such articles, 2:12.
DeleteI can guarantee the Fuehrer that if he were to get caught molesting an underage child his 68% would vanish so fast he wouldn't have time to zip his pants up.
ReplyDeleteAt least I hope that is true. He does love the uneducated, after all.
Oh come on, he was just injecting some sweet, creamy essence of "Make America Great Again" into the orifices of the underage child.
DeleteYou're missing the big picture.
;-)
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/02/23/people-in-klan-robes-sighted-at-caucus-with-trump-signs-photos-tweets/
ReplyDeleteSo he could shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue and he's STILL have people voting for him. OK Mr Trump, you volunteer to shoot yourself in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and you've got my vote.
ReplyDeleteProceed Ego maniacal millionaire.....Better yet, since you LOVE the vets who weren't captured, perhaps do a stint in the front lines, then we'll talk. Day one, send back all the Czechoslovakian gold diggers back to where they came from, build a wall, and have Czechoslovakia pay for it.
I don't think I've ever seen this level of crazy from the entire GOP and it's candidates. If a Dem said half the things Donald's gotten away with, the DNC would kick them to the curb, the GOP is a bunch of ninnies.
Don't get me wrong, I love our POTUS, but if he picks someone to "settle", he'll have sold himself out and those who voted for him. Don't make deals with domestic terrorists, pick the person YOU feel best represents a Supreme Court Justice.
This article might shine some light on the Trump personality:

ReplyDeleteI call Donald Trump's bluff that if he commits murder no one would leave him.
ReplyDeleteI dare Trump to kill himself and if no one leaves him then Trump has my vote for president.
Other than that he's all bull shit.

Trump lashes out at Romney: 'He's a fool'
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump lashed out at Mitt Romney Wednesday night, shortly after the GOP's previous presidential nominee went after him for not releasing his tax returns.
The business mogul called Romney a "fool" and accused him of trying to play "tough guy."
