He did indeed. You know your history.
Then there was that infamous incident in the '62 Congressional elections ...

Donald Trump is at it again. He recently criticized Carly Fiorina — who’s rising in the polls in Iowa — because of her looks. He wondered out loud — when surrounded by yes-men — how anyone could ever vote for her. “Just look at that face,” he said, adding that she’s a woman and he’s not supposed to talk about it, but “come on.” He later pretended he was talking about her “demeanor,” but no sane person accepts that explanation.
No, Donald, you were criticizing yet another woman because you think she’s ugly. That’s all there is to it.
And that brings me to one of the biggest problems I have with Trump: his obvious lack of respect for every single one of his rivals and even for critical journalists, especially those who regularly have “blood coming out of their whatever.” It isn’t merely that it’s anything but presidential, but that it’s anything but civil. This is not how anyone should behave — be they politicians, plumbers, lawyers or construction workers.
Amy Holmes said something very profound yesterday at The Blaze. Donald Trump should take it to heart:
"A leader should lead with respect for others and maybe the example of Jesus, and showing love."
There’s a lot for Trump to learn from that. Having good manners isn’t the same as being politically correct. And no, being politically correct doesn’t always mean that a person had good manners. In fact, we often see the most “politically correct” people say the worst possible things. Just look at how the average liberal behaves on Twitter or Facebook when he reads something he disagrees with. If you thought only 3 year olds can throw pamper tantrums, you’ll soon know better.

Hey—its rolling stone—I don’t believe he really said that and if he did it was out of context. Rolling Stone (remember the campus Rape story that turned out to not be true?) We only know what The “Reporter” said he heard? he could have gotten it really wrong.
"Vote for him, he's better than you"?
Not exactly a winning slogan.
If that's how he thinks, voters will (deservedly) kick him to the curb.
Also, why is it a matter of "favorable treatment" (versus unfavorable treatment, I guess) rather than a decent middle ground for all?

I was thinking more like Zotbait.
Franklin disowned his son, who was the Governor of N.J.and sided with the Brits during the Revolution.
For those who don't know much earl,y American history ( especially the author and poster of this stupid thread ) I suggest they read AFFAIRS OF HONOR by Joanne B. Freeman.
Nonsense....this kind of thing and much worse, has been around/indulged in since the founding of this nation !
Ah yes the more gentlemanly peaceful respectful politics of the 19th century. If we could only get back to that.
It makes us all better by allowing us to discriminate between those not worthy of respect, and those that are, thereby enforcing a system of values towards which young men are provided a strong incentive to follow to become responsible citizens and leaders. If everyone must be treated with respect, then everyone is respectable. It's like the punk panhandling who said, "You man, why you dissing me, you ain't gotta talk down to me? Give me some respect!". I said: Earn it, if you act like a man I'll treat you like one.
Yes, beatings on the Senate floor, duels, and libelous "gossip" that was very much still part of politics, back in the 1950s !
It is appreciated.
My deep insight goes largely unappreciated around here.
I attribute that largely to Obama.
And Alien mind control and Communist media making movies about Alien mind control.
See the circle? SEE IT???
Bring back dueling pistols!
Just three points:
September 23, 2015.
CERN / Large Hadron Collider.
HAARP Manipulation of Weather.
That is all. ;)
You keep talking about that stuff and you’ll wind up back in the FEMA camp.
Good point...
Watch out.
That dude writes about himself in the third person.
That can only mean that he is either European, Arrogant or gay.
And you don’t want to mess with any of those.
Further, 50mm believes "wrong tone", "disrespectful" and "mean" are all PC code for disapproval of a man still in possession of his spine and his junk. 50mm respects all men who refuse to surrender their spines and/or junk to appeal to those who possess neither.
