I disagree. Trump has reached the stage in life where a man starts to think about his legacy. What are his real ambitions? To make another billion dollars? What's the point in that?

It's clear from the actual clip that as usual some off the cuff remarks are taken out of context, seized on and blown way out of proportion in an attempt to score political points. Another example of the double standard. Compared to Biden's history of gaffs this one is pretty tame.

What is telling is that any other candidate facing similar criticism would instantly backpedal and go on an apology tour. That's the sort of blatant hypocrisy that American's have come to expect from the political class, and it's refreshing to see someone who isn't afraid to speak their mind and is more concerned with the real issues than mollifying bruised egos. That's why Trump is gaining some serious respect from the general population.

Here are all of these GOP hopefuls, each with one or two strong issues they can aim at Hillary, and here they are so easily diverted to squabble among their own.

You guys all need to grow up here. Trump is way ahead in the “plain speak” derby.
