The Future President, Donald Trump

So Trump made in my opinion two huge tactical mistakes in one week

It will suprise me if this topples Trump, because in order for him to lose a lot of support, his followers would have to care that he's an insensitive carbuncle of a human being. They've never minded before.

You being wrong would be situation normal however.....

If I'm right, Trump survives and continues to confound the other repugs and confuse the repugs electorate - this would be good for me.
If I'm wrong, Trump topples and I get to see a lot less of his foul, ridiculous act - also good for me.

Speaking in Sarasota, Florida, the Republican presidential candidate was interrupted briefly by a protestor who shouted during the opening moments of his remarks. The mogul looked on calmly from the podium as security escorted the protesters out.

"Be nice to the person," Trump told the crowd. "Don't hurt the person. ... Please nicely escort the person out."

The calm handling of the disruption was a change from last Saturday's campaign rally in Alabama, where a Black Lives Matter protestor was punched and kicked repeatedly by audience members when he interrupted the rally. After the incident, Trump suggested the man "should have been roughed up."

Trump himself noted the change of tone on Saturday.

"You see how diplomatic I've become?" he said as the crowd booed the woman being escorted out of the arena and chanted "get them out!" along with "Trump! Trump!"

The whole disturbance took about three minutes to settle down.

We want to elect people who are like us, who we believe will fight for people like us. Trump did not understand that almost no one in America thinks it is ok to mock the cripples. Many of us think that we spend way too much time celebrating them, and way too much money on looking after them, but we dont mock them and dont want others to do so.

On “Meet the Press” Trump again insisted he saw celebrations in New Jersey following the terrorist attacks– despite no video coverage backing up that claim and police denying it happened.

“I saw it. So many people saw it, Chuck. So why would I take it back, I’m not going to take it back,” Trump said.

Todd pounced: “Just because somebody repeats something doesn’t make it true. And I guess, that’s actually, that’s the worst — ” Todd said shaking his head with a look of disgust.

Trump cut in to say people were saying in Sarasota, Florida over the weekend they were in New Jersey at the time also saw Arabs cheering the deadly terrorists attacks.

“People were saying,” Todd chimed in. “Mr. Trump, if I said, “Well people have said, Mr. Trump is not worth $10 billion and people were saying …’ you would say that was crazy. You wouldn’t make a business deal based on retweets and based on hearsay. You’re running for president of the United States. Your words matter. Truthfulness matters. Fact-based stuff matters, no?”

“Take it easy. Chuck, just play cool.” Trump retorted

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric is only serving to turn the international Muslim community against the U.S.

“Oh, I think it has an interesting effect of turning Muslims all over the world against the United States of America, which is 99.44 percent people who practice an honorable religion,” the Arizona senator said of Trump on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

The US is viewed negatively in virtually all Muslim countries. In a multi-country poll we just did for the BBC, we found that in all Muslim countries polled, majorities said that the US is having a mostly negative influence in the world and that the US military presence in the Middle East provokes more conflict than it prevents.

In some polls, views of the American people are not quite as negative as views of the United States or its government, but they are still mostly on the negative side.

Not only is Trump a clown but he is a lying clown but that is ok with you for some strange reason.

Jeb Bush says the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency is "kind of scary."

The former Florida governor blasted Trump, saying he doubts the real estate mogul's readiness for the White House, in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday.

"I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt to see how the campaign unfolded," Bush said. "But if you listen to him talk, it's kind of scary to be honest with you, because he's not a serious candidate."

"He doesn't talk about the issues at hand that are of national security importance for our country -- to keep us safe is the first priority of the president. And he's all over the map, misinformed at best and preying on people's fears at worst," he added.

"I have a very good memory, I'll tell you," Trump said. "I saw it somewhere on television many years ago. And I never forgot it." The real estate mogul did recognize it was proving to be particularly challenging to find copies of those supposed TV clips. “For some reason, they're not that easy to come by,” Trump said.

Come on guys. I'm counting on Trump running for president and Carrly being his vice president. Get off his ass!!!

Makes me wonder why in this day and age we seem to lack the ability to go back and look at the tape. Most seem to agree that this was on CNN, that is where I saw it (as well as the cheering in Palestine), why cant journalists go to CNN an pull up a weeks worth of programing and watch the entire thing so see if Trump and the rest of us are right? Apparently they lack the ability to do this, which is annoying....incompetence is always annoying. Content tagging and saving is so easy and cheap, why is it not done? This to me is exactly like we have almost no idea where the MH370 plane is, because we did not track it and because it does not have a locator beacon that works in this situation. In 2015! Sometimes there is just no excuse.

I dunno Frank. New Jersey is a pretty crappy place and I could see some of them celebrating that NYC finally got a bit of a beat down.

Yeah, but could you see it?
