I understood what you are attempting to do with the quote, because you were trying to reply to each thought. There are a couple of different ways of doing it, but I got the idea.

I think you understand what I was attempting to convey. The point I was making is that we don't have much choice YET regarding our votes for president. It is going to narrow down to what happens at the convention. But, like I said, I do not care to learn anything more about Trump because I do not support him. His ideas, yes. But, he has a tendency to spontaneously erupt in verbal diarrhea. I do not appreciate his "honesty" when he speaks off the cuff. He needs a filter on his abrasive verbiage. I respect honesty, but there is a time and place for his offensive or better yet, colorful language. I do not question his loyalty to our country, even though I believe his loyalty to himself has top priority. I am not saying that Hillary is any different in that regard. But, Hillary is guilty (and I know what I am speaking of) of mishandling classified information, using a private server to transmit sensitive to highly classified information and allowing uncleared personnel access to classified information. All of that evidence has been plastered all over the Internet. She also lied to all of America by stating that the attack on Benghazi was caused by a video. I do not know how much she is complicit in not attempting to help the victims in the attack, but she certainly did not seem to be backing them up. The Clintons are also being investigated for possible tax fraud, which also concerns me. The Clintons are also guilty of grand larceny, which they got a pass on, when they stole thousands of dollars worth of gov property from the White House when they left. They were only required to reimburse the gov about a tenth of the worth. So, Hillary will not get my vote.

On the light side, I have seen quite a bit of Trump's wife. I doubt there is very much more that she can reveal to us.......:D
I believe a repub was elected president after bill clinton, are you saying the repub were complicit in the thievery by not getting the full amount of the booty that was stolen? There was a repub attorney general.

Trump has been blessed with multiple beautiful wives and girlfriends.

"Indeed, a wistful Trump fondly remembered Princess Diana in his 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback. "I only have one regret in the women department — that I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer. I met her on a number of occasions," he wrote. "I couldn’t help but notice how she moved people. She lit up the room with her charm, her presence. She was a genuine princess — a dream lady."
Also trump had a desire for his daughter, we can only surmise what it would be.

I think he said his daughter was so beautiful if I wasn't her father I'd be interested.

Who thinks like that?

And even if the last thing on his mind was anything of a carnal nature where is the filter that says "Maybe I should not share this thought that just jumped into my head with the rest of the world since it might be taken the wrong way." If you can't figure that out how can you expect to understand diplomacy?

Of course I think he knew exactly what he was doing. He was going to get a lot of free press with that statement. The fact that his wife and children might be embarrassed never entered his mind. He can always get another wife or fire his children.

Really? Is that the best you can do?? Hillary stood back and watched her husband have sex in the oval office. The Clintons STOLE tens of thousands of dollars worth of gov property when they left D.C. Hillary lied to victim's families. Hillary committed felony after felony, and you can only come up with something Trump said? I believe we know how the scale tips on this one.

You should have read his book before replying. This was Obies mein kampf. All that's wrong and how to fix it.

Remember, a bigot just may be right. There may be a good reason to feel the way they do about people.

Great post. One problem; you're using logic. Logic doesn't work with the fox viewing right wing wacko's in the Village (or most other places as well). They view the republican party as some would their home town football team. They're going to cheer for them no matter what they do. Unfortunately, they don't understand this is not a football game and we are/should be on the same side (The American People).

Maybe when we no longer have a black president they'll start thinking rationally........ah........ na. Scratch that. We'll have a woman president and if you think their panties were in a bunch now,with a black president, wait untill you see their behavior after Hillary is sworn in. Their heads will explode.:coolsmiley:
You know I do agree with you somewhat & you made a great point about the home football team & I get a feeling you're Dem. but that's OK. The only thing I think the Rep. frown on is Hillary's policy's, they're exactly the same as Obama's & that's what the Rep. don't like. Don't know if you read the headline news on Yahoo or not, but the title to the article says, "Obama's next gift to Iran means breaking another promise to America". It says, "Iran financial resources well beyond the $150 billiion it's already pocketed under the nuke deal". How can the other half of the American people stand to see these kind of things continue? To answer your last question about Hillary getting the Dem. nomination, you're exactly right, why would we elect a socialist to run. It'll be Trump vs Hillary in the end. Now you know where I stand. GOOD COMMENT, THOUGH!

You are a perfect example of an idiot. Let me help you with your education, or can you learn anything?

Bigot implies intolerance. If you are saying that I am intolerant of Obama because he is black, then you are an idiot. I tolerate, therefore I do not fit the definition of bigot. Remember, Obama is also half white. I won't go into that because the whole race thing is a liberal thing, not a conservative thing. Unlike the left, we don't rate people on their race, gender or sexual deviation. We just rate the person on their ethics, morality, experience and wisdom/common sense. Obama has not shown much of any of those traits. That doesn't make me a bigot, that makes me discerning.

What you say is true, not that it matters if I agree or not.

"Bigotry is defined as “intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.” Notice that bigotry is not intolerance toward the opinions or beliefs of persons other than yourself, but intolerance of the other person. Bigotry is not simply disagreeing with what someone else believes; it is an unwillingness to tolerate or accept the person who holds those beliefs.

A little reflection on this definition will reveal that the vast majority of bigotry accusations populating the internet and in public discourse are not legitimate ones. On the contrary, they are the consequence of a mistaken view of tolerance that is itself a product of a warped postmodern epistemology."

Calling people idiots doesn't persuade anyone to read your post with an open mind.

Thank-you for your post. I leaned something. I had to read it a couple of times before I could get past that you didn't like anything the man has ever done or believes but not dislike the man because he's black.

When I read all the bigotry and hatred on the threads it takes more effort to spot the broadminded.

Spellcheck does not check grammar. That's why spellcheck did not suggest "not" instead of no. The word no was spelled correctly.

Why are republicans not embarrassed when Donald Trump goes on national TV and talks about the size of his 'manhood'? Is this the way the leader of the free world speaks? If Barack Obama had uttered those words back in 2008, he would be history. Putin probably loves this kind of language, but sane world leaders think Trump is nuts, according to today's news.

No he wouldn't. The Left would just cry racism and Obama would get a pass.

I don't know who reads Al Jazeera America. Is it read all over the world? Is it dismissed as Un American.

I searched for Trump at their site.
Search | Al Jazeera America

I didn't see any titles that sound positive.

I believe that you have taken the comment out of context. If you are speaking of his response to Rubio's comment, when he said Trump had small hands and you know what that means? Isn't it about time that you liberals grow some hair and start getting over your girlie attitude of worrying about every word someone says. I have yet to hear you liberals complain about the vulgar language on prime time TV, where teenagers use the foul language and are portrayed consuming alcohol. I have no interest or liking of Trump, but he does bring out the sissies on the left. For that, I applaud him. Because I do enjoy teh entertainment. He might even earn my vote if he ends up running against Hillary. He can't be any worst than what we have in there now, and definitely no worst than having the criminal, liar Hillary in the White House. If I was on the left, I would be embarrassed to be supporting Hillary after all the crimes, and lies she has perpetrated. I see a lot more to be embarrassed about her than a few off color remarks coming from Trump. I guess you didn't have any problems with Biden's remark regarding Obamacare, right?

Guest 03-28-2016 05:17 PM
Are republicans not embarrassed by Donald Trump calling women dogs and saying they should be treated like (expletive deleted)? Someone should tell the brilliant Mr Trump that women make up 53% of voters in the US.

Who will ever forget Karl Rove running around back stage at Fox News on election night 2012 yelling no, no it can't be over, and the vote counters telling him that 'yes, we are 99.999999999% sure Obama will carry Ohio and with that goes the whole enchilada'. (Well, they probably didn't say enchilada).

Do you have a link to when he said these things. Not that I doubt you, but I would like to know if it was said recently or fifty years ago, and in what context he said it. Not that it matters because the primaries are over for Florida and if he gets the nomination, he will get my vote. You see, there is no way in h3ll that I will vote for Hillary. Because no matter what he has said, he is the only choice. Hillary must go to jail for her crimes. As far as I am concerned she is a despicable felon.

Yes they both are showing it ... Not embarrased just disappointed. Well at least you answered it. I think Trump who has a favorablity rating in the mid 20s with women is going to have to do something to make up for that figure. There are not enough old white men or white rednecks to overcome those kind of negatives. It makes Hillarys negatives meaningless and another landslide for the dems.
Trump in the 20's you say? Clinton's not much higher, especially with the under 25 group, that's all Bernie's. The left has a pathological liar and stone cold hypocrite along with a self proclaimed Socialist that would love to end free market Capitalism once and for all and you insult the Republicans?? EPIC!!!!

Whatever he is short on he will just make it up in his next reading (I refuse to categorize what he does as a speech....ever).
