Trump’s haters need to man up and deal
New York Post ^ | August 9, 2015 | Andrea Peyser

Posted on 08/10/2015 8:03:10 AM PDT by Hojczyk

When judging Trump, I would suggest we all man up. Look at his record of hiring, and firing, females. I’ve not heard of him called out for underpaying, overworking, failing to promote or laying hands on women in his employ.

In her quest to play “gotcha” with Trump, Kelly hit him with having told Brande Roderick, a former Playboy Playmate and contestant on his show “Celebrity Apprentice,” that it would be “a pretty picture to see her on her knees.”

“Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?” Kelly asked. Broderick — who, like Trump, said she didn’t remember the remark — sounded like an adult on MSNBC. “I don’t condone men being derogatory, but I think he’s just on television. He’s trying to be funny. He didn’t mean anything horrible by it.”

Love him or loathe him, Donald Trump is shaking up the political landscape with his brand of straight talk, unfiltered by political correctness or a politician’s need to take an opinion poll before taking a position. It’s contagious.

At Thursday’s debate, Ted Cruz called President Obama’s deal with Iran a “disaster” — Trump’s word when bashing policies of “stupid” politicians. Mike Huckabee also uttered the word, referring to plans to fund sex-change operations for service members. Don’t worry about women. We can take anything Trump dishes out.

Let’s be a little bit more clear here — Looking at his past statements and stance and comparing it to what he says now is NOT HATING.

It is a serious attempt at trying to understand what he really stands for.

Megyn Kelly’s “War on Women” question is hating, Looking at Trump’s past support of the Supreme Court’s Kelo vs City of New London decision is NOT.

“Let’s be a little bit more clear here — Looking at his past statements and stance and comparing it to what he says now is NOT HATING.”

I’d say statements like this qualify:

“He was disgraceful in his treatment of a conservative lady. It’s stunning to see such behavior justified and even defended. Shame on you. “

Trump aside, let’s not start down the path
of confusing political correctness with old
fashioned crude, rude, and generally boorish
behavior.

My understanding is that the playboy bunny was not offended. Where are all the women, as with Cosby? Lined up to speak against Trump. I hear, that he, if anything, is very protective of the women in his employ, and in the pageants.

Considering the accomplishments in his life, he’s a true American. He personifies what makes us of our heritage.

All of the other candidates, save perhaps Carli, have not experienced what it’s like to be on the top of a major company, where you are responsible for the livelihood of many.

In my mind, Trump is the real deal. If he forms a third party run, which I hope he doesn’t, I will vote for him.

For now, he is what I want our party to be like.

No more Karl Rove’s, the Bushes, the other career politicians.

A new broom sweeps clean....

Interesting article. One would think it was meant to be somewhat supportive of Trump.

Can’t help feeling it’s sole purpose was to marginalize the term “Swift Boat(ing)” further.

John Kerry was outed by the Swift Boat effort, of things he did that were wrong.

Donald Trump was slandered for something he didn’t do.

He was not Swift Boated. He was merely falsely accused and penalized unjustly.

Is that what the Swift Boat effort did to Kerry?

Hell no!

Man up and deal?

Frankly I think people should start wondering why Trump is accepting donations to a campaign that doesn’t appear to be making any ads or campaign appearances. As far as I can tell, Trump’s entire campaign consists of Trump’s verbal diarrhea 140 characters at a time on twitter (which is free)

See the amazing egress!!! $5

“My understanding is that the playboy bunny was not offended.”

Why would she be? She’s already degraded herself sexually in exchange for money. You can’t really have a thin skin about other people looking at you as a sex object when you objectify yourself for profit.

“The billionaire real estate developer was swiftboated Thursday night. He was effectively tried and convicted of displaying grotesque sexism by Megyn Kelly, co-moderator of the first prime-time debate for the 2016 GOP presidential candidates.”

Maybe next debate we can talk about the issues confronting this nation.

interesting article by the Post.
FOX has smeared its own reputation.
Now FOX is a venue for low class, trashy fake journalism
Let me add that they are also pretentious.
Today, the talking faces are all the trash reporters for FOX defending their biased, unfair questions to Mr. Trump.

So true, but the staid GOP leaders just don't get it. They need to wake up and design a platform that conservatives can support. Even Donald's 1-5-10-15 tax plan make more sense than anything the GOP has to offer. Until I see the GOP change from its current (non-conservative) position on everything from immigration to welfare reform, they will not get a dime from me.

Let’s see, he cheated on his first wife for five years before she divorced him.

Then he married twice more.

Has filed for business bankruptcy four times.

Was for abortion at birth till............?

Has been a Democrat, an Independent, now a Republican all within the last ten years.

Was for all the bailouts.

Close friend of Hillary and Bill, invited them to one of his many weddings.

For single payer medical system till............?

Claims he has politicians on his payroll.

Won’t promise to support the Republican nominee, won’t promise not to run third party.

Which party is he going to work with if elected, or does he think he’ll just do it all by himself ?

Kelly doesn’t seem to live in the real world. Celebrity Apprentice is a reality TV show. Nothing said there is real but controversial for TV rating to stay alive.

"I’d say statements like this qualify:

“He was disgraceful in his treatment of a conservative lady. It’s stunning to see such behavior justified and even defended. Shame on you. “

First of all, you gutless wonder, I see you were talking about me & this remark behind my back yesterday. You're like your hero---you get all wadded up and don't know when to let go. Have the decency to ping someone when you talk about them, per FR rules.

Being the emotional type that you are, you've seized on the liberal meme that criticism equals "hate." Not surprising, considering you're supporting a liberal Democrat.

Trump attacked Michelle Malkin on Twitter, calling her "a dummy" and "born stupid." He implied she had some shameful secret in her past, and didn't say a word when his fawning fangirls called Malkin an Asian prostitute. When Michelle pressed him for the details about the sordid past he hinted at, Trump---the sleaze---refused to respond.

Now you tell me in what bizarre universe that kind of behavior toward a decent conservative lady is permissible or excusable. Explain to me how calling out the sleaze responsible for it is "hate."

You must "hate" Michelle Malkin. I note you keep repeating "conservative lady" as though it's some kind of epithet.

More likely you can't drop this because your conscience is trying to get your attention. I seriously doubt your mother raised you to be okay with such disgusting behavior.

Thank you so much for proving my point about the haters, and for paying such close attention to what I post. You flatter me too much, especially in view of so many others here who take you down much harder and more eloquently than I do.

MFAO @ you and your personal attacks!

Keep the hate coming!

STILL LMFAO @ you, as I was quoting YOUR ‘conservative lady” reference to the bunny bimbo.

So much fun, so little time.

Thank you so much for the joy I receive when seeing your vitriol personally directed to me.
