Donald Trump once again claims that his supporters would not abandon him even if he committed murder.

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

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.

      Once 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.

      What 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.

      The 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.

      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?

      I'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.

    11. If 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.

      The 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.

    1. The 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.
