'I am Batman,' Trump tells boy on helicopter ride
cnn ^ | August 16 2015 | CNN

Posted on 08/16/2015 3:48:55 PM PDT by WilliamIII

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)A helicopter landed here just after noon on Saturday, causing a short but violent windstorm. Large trees shivered; small ones bent nearly sideways. Dust swirled up from the parking lot, stinging the eyes of the onlookers. The pilot cut the engines. A man got out of the helicopter. He wore white shoes and white khakis with sharp creases and a red baseball cap that said MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. He strolled across the searing asphalt and stood at the edge of a field, where nearly 100 people waited to find out what he would do or say next.

"We have quite a few children gonna take rides today," said Donald Trump, billionaire, celebrity, entertainer and Republican candidate for president. "Where are the children? Get them over here."

You’d prefer someone as exciting as Rick Santorum?

No, not Santorum. I am not sure I want an exciting candidate. I want an effective one.

I don’t think he would be effective. Dramatic yes, effective no.

People misunderestimate him at their peril.

Especially the GOPe.

Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

“His campaign has not been derailed by his inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants, ...”

I see CNN can’t help but throw an outright lie or two into the article.

Dear CNN, It’s ILLEGAL ALIENS he’s talking about.

...No other presidential race has ever been this much fun...

Isn’t that the truth :) I’m filled with cautious hope for the first time in years also.

LOL. Athough his is closer to Tony Stark.

Hey Trump, make a self-powered battle suit. The tech to do so does actually exist. DO IT! LOL again.

“...why do you care enough to offend people by calling them fools?”

Stock comeback when we were kids...’it takes one to know one’. That being said, Trump is no fool. And I am not a ‘low information’ voter, as George Will likes to refer to any who might be supportive of The Don.

I would say Trump is pretty effective at getting what he wants. I he wants to secure the borders, etc. then he’ll get it done.

There’s nothing wrong with a little drama or levity along the way. It sure bets the heck out of the players in current regime and GOPe candidates with sticks up their butts.

BTW, I’m with team Cruz.
