Donald Trump took shots at several of his fellow Republican presidential candidates in a Rolling Stone profile published on Wednesday, but it’s his comments about Carly Fiorina’s physical appearance that are attracting the most attention....
“Look at that face!” he cries. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” The laughter grows halting and faint behind him. “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”
Asked what she believes Trump meant by the comment about her face, Fiorina said “I have no idea.”
“Honestly, Megyn, I’m not going to spend a single cycle wondering what Donald Trump means. But maybe, just maybe, I’m getting under his skin a little bit because I am climbing in the polls.”
Fiorina was far from the only GOP contender that Trump mocked in the Rolling Stone article.
Moments before his comment about Fiorina, Trump and his aides appeared to joke about Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s mental acuity.....

Not convinced Trump is running to save our Constitution - but more likely his own financial empire.
What makes you think his financial empire is in jeopardy?
You took me literally? Your posting style doesn't surprise me, then.
Thanks for your service.
My "end game" is that I want my candidate to be the last one standing. As is the case with you and everyone else who HAS a candidate.
That's how it works, correct?
Just wondering if you see any value with Trump being in the race now? I’m loving it!
Since you like to post the same material multiple times, here is a repeat response...
Carly insulting Barbara Boxer’s looks...

Everyone’s finances are in jeopardy in this worldwide recession. Trump’s assets are tied up in construction, vacation spending & gambling; all suffer as consumers cut back. Trump has more to lose if the wrong tax & monetary policies are put in place after Obama.
Some of the things he’s been saying needed to be said, but that’s as far as it goes with me. He’s a liberal and I’ve never had much use for him.
Sure they are. I invite them to vote for Cruz.
Fiorina missed a major opportunity to put herself at the head of the class. All she had to do was respond with something like “When a particularly unattractive man criticizes how I look, it’s hard not to break out in laughter”.
Not carrying water, just don’t understand how a 69 year old man talks that way about women in public. Doesn’t make sense to me. Politically stupid as well.
To resolve any misunderstanding, our brave Senator Ted Cruz remains my number one choice. He'll do great things and, as President, restore the Biblical principles that are the essential foundation of the Republic.
As for Donald Trump, I take the same view of the owner of this site:
I note you never answered those questions sbout Trump’s attack on Michelle Malkin.
You chose to dodge and give me a bunch of tied-together slogans extolling the wonders of Trump.
Continue fangirling. Have fun.
I see it as little more than a couple of folks having some good-natured fun. It's comparable to pre-season football training camp when teammates go head to head in spirited competition.
Continue fangirling. Have fun.
Donald Trump is running to be my servant not a king. Should he rise to the presidency, he won't be a dictator like hussein. We and other Patriots will call the shots and he'll have the means to carry out our will. While I remain firmly in the Senator Ted Cruz camp for 2016, to me Trump represents a viable fallback. Frankly, I'm not really a fan of Donald Trump any more than I'm a fan of my mechanic. Competency is all that matters.
Malkin didn't see it that way.
Ironic.
"what an idiotic premise, obviously done by a sycophantic"
One does not 'do' a premise. Is this George Will dumbing himself down further?
You lay out 2 insults and one use of 'obviously.' So it must be clear for all to see, easy to express:
What is it that is so obviously idiotic about my wonderful comparison, which suggests that one should prefer a leader who makes fart jokes to a leader who ... well we know the list of O's jokes that pass for a presidency and would be laughers if they didn't hurt so many and so much?
Rules: You must include logic, and you must marry nouns with verbs with which the nouns are compatible. Why is a man who makes fart jokes a worse candidate for president than one who does what Obama has done?
Give it your best!
Yours,
P. In Transition
You’re judging without having the facts. That says more about you.
Donald Trump already clarified he meant persona when he said face. And in descriptive parlance ‘face’ is used in many languages including English to represent persona.
For example, the ‘face of evil’, the ‘face of defeat’ etc.
And in Fiorina’s case she is the ‘face of failure’ in everything she’s done.
Donald exclaimed just look at the face of this loser meaning look at the character that has never succeeded in achieving anything other than ripping people off when they were caught blindsided.
“Look at the face of this!”. It’s a figure of speech. If you and others are too sensitive and unwilling to absorb the bigger picture you have plenty of candidates to choose from that will satiate your desire for perfect nothingness.
I just want him to win. I don’t think his name-calling comments help. I have a hard time understanding how he can be such a loose cannon. I guess I’m extreme, but to me publicly slagging a woman’s looks is not done. He can do better.
Maybe it’s Trump?
