When Marco was pestering him for his "plan" on health care and Trump was trying to say that his plan was the open marketplace (take away the state lines) and all Trump said was "there are many plans"......what he should said to Rubio was "Marco you dont like my answer or you dont understand it because my plan doesnt have anything to do with Washington".

He seems to be the one candidate who truly understands that a large segment of the voter base is unintelligent enough to be swayed by loud bluster and a slogan ("Make America Great Again" or whatever), while only having vague ideas that likely have no chance in hell of actually getting put into play (building a wall on national borders, lol). Essentially a Repub version of Obama or Sanders, but with more loud bluster. He fires up a sizable amount of the fanbase and has essentially made himself a "made man" who can say virtually anything, no matter how repugnant, and not lose support. On some levels, his campaign has been about as fascinating of one as I've seen.

He doesn't know enough about the KKK to denounce them? Now he is claiming a bad earpiece?

This should honestly have been a slam dunk election for Republicans and they will blow it because they are going to nominate Donald Trump.

That is not a reflection of the guy nor should it be discussed for one half a second.

majorspark;1783980 wrote:Did you watch the interview? Its the kind of Gotcha journalism that Trump knows his supporters loathe. Trump is not going to answer the question in the typical grovelling manner of the average politician practically begging for forgiveness for something totally outside of their control. Trump frames the context into that of political endorsements and says he knows nothing of them. Tapper recognizes this and tries to refocus him and drive him into the typical grovelling condemnation of your average politician. Trump says he will disavow any group if specifically named. Tapper quickly tosses in the KKK while Trump is talking and he does not hesitate as if he does not hear it. Tapper does not press very hard after that because he has his sound bite. Trump stated late last year that he does not want want Duke's endorsement. Trust me Tapper was fully aware of it prior to the interview.

I am no Trump fan. I have made that quite clear. Cruz and Rubio foolishly think that attacking the perceived anti-establishment anti-press candidate in kind (as he has them) will win them significant numbers of his supporters. Just the opposite. Instead of reading the political tea leaves the last two remaining viable challengers fail to create their own anti-establishment brand they just end up looking like feckless imitators. As Washington politicians they had a large hill to climb to begin with.

Those of us in public life can only resent the use of our names by those who seek political recognition for the repugnant doctrines of hate they espouse.

”The politics of racial hatred and religious bigotry practiced by the Klan and others have no place in this country, and are destructive of the values for which America has always stood.”
