*Trump could not have bought this type of a favorable event.*

True. CNN talked about it for a couple of hours after re-showing the tape, over and over...it was wall-to-wall DT on CNN last night. Funny stuff!

You can’t do that...

Sounds like a statement not a question.

That Trump let him back in illustrates that he gave Ramos a time out. If he had merely had him thrown out, it would have been a personality clash. That Ramos re-entered, disciplined, shows who the adult was in that situation. I’m NOT a Trumpublican, but I do love to see the smug wiped off the faces of the enemedia the way I’ve wiped with a damp wash rag the crumbs and messes off the faces of little ones in high chairs.

Sigh.

He has said he ultimately would like a flat tax, but it will take alot of time to implement such a huge undertaking. In the meantime, he wants to keep the progressive tax, with a top rate of 15 percent, I believe.

These constant barrages of statements and questions trying to make him out to be some stealth socialist are getting very tiresome. It’s not just you, but too many people don’t seem to be up to speed on his plans. Perhaps you need to read his book where he outlines his outlook and plans on all the big issues of the day? He has presented MUCH more than any other candidate, but we keep hearing that people don’t know what he stands for. Sheesh.

Why don’t people trust Trump?....More gay rights?

Trump says it’s time to move on from gay ‘marriage’ battle: ‘The Supreme Court ruled.’

The GOP's leading presidential candidate said that he has been to a gay "wedding" and that conservatives should accept the Supreme Court's redefinition of marriage.

You Trump fans really picked a conservative winner.

Does anyone else see the symbolism of the moment? Trump "deports" the Mexican who "illegally" tries to cut to the front of the line, and then lets Ramos back in only after he agrees to behave and play by the rules.

I did notice that. I wonder if it was by design.

Trump is operating as if he's the president-elect-in-waiting rather than a candidate who's bowing and scraping for support. He demands to be treated with appropriate respect and isn't going to be pushed around by anyone.

It's fascinating to watch how he's playing the networks off each other. The CNN clip showed that the media can indeed be brought to heel by someone who knows how to manage them. Trump clearly understands contemporary media and how it works better than anyone else on the field.

I am not comfortable voting for a "maybe".

You've been uncomfortable for several decades now.

Yes. Cruz is a distant second. Cruz confronts them, but with little emotion. The emotional component is very important, because people take their cue from a candidate's emotions.

For example, when you say you're angry, there should be some visible anger or conviction.

True, but the GOPe has no interest in winning.

True. But there are a lot of good guys who have been walking on egg shells for a long time, when there was no reason to.

Stupid liberal arguments look ridiculous when they're countered, especially when they're countered with conviction and humor.

Trump was way more cordial than the snarky greaseball.

Gee, look: a rude, pushy Mexican who does not know his place.

That’s never happened before.

obama a few months ago kicked out some poor lesbian from his staged news conference.
