To pararphrase Trump on McCaine “He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

As to Trump....“He’s not a serious candidate,” “He is a newsworthy candidate because he bitches and moans. I like people who suck it up.”

If you were a Presidential candidate would you require anyone who interviewed you to be 100% in agreement?

You are in liberal territory when you will not respect anyone unless they think what you want them to think.

Besides Trump was happy to be interviewed with Hewitt until Hewitt asked something that made Trump look bad.

This is shallow and weak ...but I guess if that is what you want in a President vote for him

Good for Trump. This is BS. As Mark Levin says, Who cares what their names are? “They’re all yabba dabba do...”

Hewitt’s position on Instant Citizenship for illegals is unacceptable.

He became the darling of the liberal media because they can use him as an example of a “conservative” who supports radical amnesty schemes.

I don’t have a problem with someone (a candidate) not knowing all the names of all the players in the middle east. What I want is someone who has a clear vision that mussies want a caliphate and willing to kill anyone who is not their flavor of muslim to get it. That is enough for me. I have come to the point where I am at the end of patience. Kill em all and let God sort it out

>> "“He lost me with his “third rate” insult. Really bad form. He’s a really sore loser, and he has power. That makes him dangerous to those with whom he disagrees. On some issues, that would be me - and you.”

I’m glad you finally see that. When he is not adored and flattered by someone, he uses his power to try to take them out. Uses twitter to call them tacky names. He has a toddler fit, screaming and kicking. Can you imagine him on twitter, calling Putin tacky names?"

LOL! No, not strange or tacky. Not "taking them out". This is how normal, regular people talk all day long. Y'all been spending too much time in political correctness. As Rush says, you get conditioned to watching your team and you find yourself going: 'Oh no, the media is gonna pounce on that'.

Haven't you ever sat around the TV with the guys watching the game or at the "water cooler" or wherever and noticed how people just comment on things and people: "Oh man, I hate that guy" or maybe: "Yeah that thing sucks" or maybe: "Yup, he's an arsehole". It's what people do. It's the American way to comment about everything and everything.

Trump's twittering is a window into a guy commenting on things as they happen. People have been having conniptions ever since email came along because they are unable to gauge the context over the written word. Just read it like regular people talk. Jeez. "Toddler Fit". "Screaming". You guys are really bad at this communication thing. And you need to grow a pair, this isn't France!

Hewitt, along with many MANY others should be torn down. They are part of the problem that cements our institutional bureaucracy in place. And if you haven't figured out by now that these elitists are not your friends, and that they *want* and *will* continue to ship jobs overseas and import invaders for cheap labor, and that they do not care a wit about America, then you need to pay attention more, rather than getting offended when an un-polished, un-slick, normal person faces the enemy media.

A couple of things:

1. I don’t have TV and haven’t since 1997.
2. You might be surprised how much I agree with your position.

The problem is, I see every culture as vulnerable, from time to time, to bring it’s own strong man to power. I think we are at such a crossroads and Trump could be such a man.

I’m not saying he is, but it will be clearer whether or not he is as time passes. If he is, a vote for him would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

I think Davisgate will be worse for him than this foreign policy muff, quite frankly.

We're already in the fire. We've passed the slow cooking frog phase. They are about to lance us with the spear. This is quite possibly the last relatively fair election. The invasion is an attack on two fronts - the popular vote - and the electoral vote. The enemy is relentless. And brazen. And "our guys" have been complicit.

We are at +100 million census just since 1980 and since the baby boom ended and we fell below population replacement levels that should be a self-evident explanation of the strategy they used. Yesterday they said +95 million out of the labor force. Do the math. These +100 million are allegedly ( no way to determine this scientifically ) breaking at 70/30 against us. They received +5 million in the last election, and that number will never go lower unless the candidate *this* election can turn (D)ummycrats to our side. In future elections, like the 2020 and beyond, it may prove impossible. They are turning us into a Euroweenie socialist state without ever firing a shot to overturn the first American revolution.

Electorally they are literally placing many of these invaders in strategic locations, and Texas is targeted. That "red" state is going to be "blue" within the next two or three census counts, or sooner with the help of a compliant Governor and Legislature that gerrymanders it earlier. Once completed, there will be no more Presidential elections that matter. The (D)ummycrats start at around 250 today out of the 270 they need. Texas has 38 today, and that will be 40 and then 45, etc, later. At that point they will have 280-290 electoral votes before the election happens. Even splitting California into 5 states will not help because they are doing it there also.

This is the urgency of *this* election. There is no room for dream candidates and boutique issues. There is only one issue now, and if it is not handled immediately, then we absolutely have failed our kids and grandkids. They might as well have been born in the 3rd world because they will live in a country that has the same kind of farce elections and the same socialist system as anywhere else.

"Strong Man"? I really don't know how to respond to that. Even FDR and LBJ and Nixon and Reagan with massive landslides could not become dictators. I'm pretty sure that is not in the cards, yet. But once the elections mirror Venezuela and Cuba then all bets are off.

And you can bet your sweet bippy that Hewitt woke that morning with no idea who the Hell those people were and researched possible gotcha questions.

What's the flight speed of a swallow?
