Trump should stick to lampooning opponent’s campaigns and positions. When he makes it personal, he diminishes himself.

IMO, he should apologize for his unfortunate turn of phrase, and then lambaste her for her political positions.

I think Trump has learned a lesson here and will be more careful in the future as sound bites can bite you.

Ha-ha. What, again? How many snide remarks does it take for Trump to starting thinking before he speaks. Impossible!

Trump made his bones with his immigration comments, which were spot on. People responded because to that point almost nobody else was speaking the truth.

The media wants to drag him into the weeds and away from serious issues with this silly personal sparring.

He needs to stop it.

“It depends on what the meaning of the word “face” is.”

That made me belly laugh - thanks!

Regarding DT’s method of fighting back - I think it will be good to have someone punching back hard at the goons in Iran and ISIS and BLM and Mexican cartels, etc., who are threatening and attacking and killing Americans and others. If this is indicative of the fight within DT, then I’m comfortable with him “negotiating” with these world stage buffoons.

“The Trumpster may have taken a hit with the homely female vote.”

You mean the 60’s female hippies? He doesn’t have them anyway, the “Birkenstock crowd,” is in the tank for Hitlary or Liawatha!

I do believe that Trump needs to hire somebody to coach him a bit regarding his hyperbole, particularly regarding himself and the use of the word ‘great’. The way he goes on about his ‘great’ business and his ‘great’ people and his ‘great’ buildings is becoming a bit wearisome.

Last week, at his presser after he signed the loyalty pledge to his party, he introduced Setya Novanto, the Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, and whom he had only met just previous to his appearance, as a ‘great’ man. I have lived in Indonesia for 30+ years, and know the political scene rather well. I can assure you that Setya is nothing but a crooked Golkar party political hack, and in no way a ‘great’ man, nor even a good man.

Obama’s story has pretty much been make believe.

Imagine the snide remarks that Trump has held back on? Those must be some real zingers! Go Trump!

You’re right of course but I was just venting. Using an excuse such as the candidate isn’t pleasant, good enough looking or has the wrong accent is so mind blowing if they are seen as being able to get the job done.

It would be like needing a medical procedure and not choosing a world class surgeon because you don’t like his bed side manner and instead go with someone lessor talented because he is “kind” and reminds you of your Grandfather.

Good point. Maybe some others say it with more finesse but they still stick the knife in.

Trump has also presided over several failed businesses.

Anymore original observations?

Nope, that's it. Thanks for playing.

Rolling Stone, filled with fake journalists, gives extremist liberals every benefit of the doubt.....if a Republican says something controversial, no quarter is given.

All they did was quote him. And anyone who thinks Trump was misquoted or who thinks he wasn't referring to Fiorina's looks have not been following the man.

She annoys the cra* out of me. I don’t like her manner, her voice, her snark, which she is incapable of pulling off.
As a matter of fact, I view her presentation in the same way I see the Hill...very very unlikable.

All that aside, her views are not in line with mine. Her big jump came from making comments pointed at Clinton. Big whoop.

There was a list of them [Trumps's failed businesses] posted in an article a couple of weeks ago.
