Ramos was out of line.

I don't have a problem with the way Trump handled it.

I wish Sanders would have done the same with that Black Lives Matter bitch.

If they're anchor babies he'll be fine.

In my opinion, Trump is an apology for a human being. I have never taken him seriously but am enjoying his antics. I do not watch any TV other than movies so I only get to read about this.
Super-PACs aren't the entrenched interests. They're a tool of the entrenched interests.

It's all bullshit. Trump is the entrenched interests. He's just going after the typical right wing pinatas, the media, "feminazis", black and brown people, the whole gamut. He's suckering the rubes, pandering to their basest instincts.

And it's working.

Pretty soon, I believe, the RNC will realize that Trump is their best chance. Then the megadonors will come to accept that Trump's interests and theirs are totally congruent and, no matter what they may feel about him personally, they'll sign onto his campaign.

Johnathan Swift's modest proposal comes to mind, would have mentioned that earlier but thanx for the context.

It's all a matter of taste, really. Irish babies are white meat.

How so? Trump comes across as an arrogant self entitled control freak with no obligation to facts or social courtesies.

I think you're both right. Trump was his typical asshole self, even more so when Ramos returned and the two had a lengthy exchange. On the other hands, Trump had just recognized another reporter and when, that reporter began his question, Ramos interrupted saying, "I have a question" over and over.

Now, what I don't know is what led up to this. We know that Trump is suing Ramos' network (for cancelling Trump's meat markets) so I find it very possible that, Prior to Ramos' outburst, Trump had repeatedly and pointedly ignored Ramos' raised hand. You know, gave Ramos a glassy eyed stare and then called on someone else.

So, I find it quite possible that Trump provoked Ramos' reaction, inappropriate though it may have been.

.

I'm starting to like the guy.

Of the 17 Republicans running he is far and away the best.

The rest of them are just puppets on strings.

They'll do whatever their Puppet masters tell them to.

And those puppet masters are in the shadows.

Trump is his own man.

What you see is what you get.

Sure, but so what?

My #1 choice is Bernie Sanders.

I'm going to be called nuts for that too.

I think having Trump and Sanders in the race is the best thing to happen in American Politics in a long long time.

They are both skaking up the status quo and that's a good thing IMO.
