What a Putz: Trump Drops to a New Low

The Fiscal Times ^ | 12/22 | Rob Garver

Trump has learned over the past few months that the people who attend his rallies will cheer delightedly when he spouts barely-camouflaged racism, outright sexism and religious bigotry. Evidently, he’s decided to find out just how low his supporters’ bar really is when it comes to what kind of thing it’s acceptable for a presidential candidate to say.

The Republican frontrunner, in a campaign event in Michigan Monday, was weirdly fixated on the fact that Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton took a bathroom break when commercials were aired during Saturday’s Democratic debate. No fewer than four separate times, Trump referred to Clinton’s leaving the stage.

I don't know how many more of his speeches it can take.

As many as he can give. It hasn't hurt him with his supporters yet.

...we'll get stuck with a RINO who can't win.

That is the possibility if Trump is the nominee.

[MNJohnnie]

I have to laugh at the shameless hypocrisies here. The same people all out raged at Trump use the term “screwed” frequently and had no problem referring to Tea Party members as “tea baggers”.

[Publius]

Ah, the meises, the meises! The guy who wrote this is meshuganuh. And the mishugas here is unbelievable. Is Trump a schlemiel, a schlimazel or a simple putz?

And from what I hear, Hillary is the one with a schlang.

[treetopsandroofs]

DT is extraordinarily crude and crass in addition to being vain and egotistical.

*** YAWN ***

[Grampa Dave]

You sound like Shep moaning today about Donald daring to say something about Clintoon.

[rhoda_penmark]

a putz is pretty much just a smaller schlong.

[Grampa Dave]

The whole bathroom break was bizarre and will haunt Hillary a lot more than Trump. She couldn’t go into the restroom with someone in the adjacent stall. I’m thinking Queen complex.

How about snorting a few lines and downing some Scotch to perk her up for the remainder of the debate.

[Publius]

I think he meant to say that she had been schtupped at the polls, but picked the wrong verb. Non-Yiddish speakers often get the verbs confused.

[Starstruck]

I don’t know why he is constantly given a pass on his infantile behavior.

I think he eventually plateaus on the number of people that accept his timbre as presidential. I laugh at his statements and faces, but I had a co-worker who could run rings around him in that regard.

[Publius]

And a schmuck is a larger schlang.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I don't know why he is constantly given a pass on his infantile behavior.

Because he is the exact opposite of every candidate that has run for the last 50 years. He says what he wants and is unapologetic. He doesn't parse his speech before speaking. He shoots from the hip and to hell with the consequences. People like that breath of fresh air in a national campaign.

That's why.

[Grampa Dave]

What Trump is doing is kitty pawing with Hillary right now...no one has ever been able to do this with her... He called her a snake and he used a word that she took down to the gutter when it was not mean that way at all...

Yeah, he's going to have her in her hospital bed with a nervous breakdown before the debate ever comes around...

[blowfish]

It’s the cult-of-personality thing. He could drop his pants on stage and his fans would cheer, talking about “Not a politician...sticking it to the elites...breath of fresh air...” ad nauseum.

[kabar]

LOL. Get serious.

[stanne]

Whatever 9,000 at his rally the other day. He tried very hard to get the camera operators to pan. They don’t want to lose their jobs

[Flick Lives]

He’s Trump the Insult Wonder Dog and he is funny.

[Vision Thing]

Translation:

The press are getting reamed by the Trump freight train. We're hearing the lamentations of their women

Looks like some of those effeminate lamenters are right here on this thread.

[erkelly]

Because Trump is the hammer that the American people are using to smash the Washington Cartel, get it? And, by the way, he may get a bit vulgar with those who pick a fight with him, but he is not infantile. And the joy of it is, that the political correctness that is destroying us cannot seem to withstand these vulgarities. And, furthermore, every single person who has been the focus of the Donald's scorn has deserved it. It bothers me not at all that Donald insults the despicable corrupt dishonest politicians and media that have served us so ill. They are evil and low, and they deserve his crude, yet truthful, put-downs.

[Electric Graffiti]

Too true. With the ‘new’ media aka the Internet ....Trump is pimp-slapping these gorons in the dinosaur media and the DEMONCRAT party.

I'm lovin it.

[Logical me]

Good for Trump. Hit the rotten communists idiot Hillary hard. No pulling punches. If the elite don’t like it the majority of Americans like the real down to earth speech.
