Donald Trump On Protester: "I'd Like To Punch Him In The Face"
CNN ^ | 02/23/2016 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 02/22/2016 9:56:41 PM PST by goldstategop

Donald Trump said he wanted to punch a protester "in the face" after a man was escorted out of Trump's rally Monday night.

"I'd like to punch him in the face," Trump said, remarking that a man disrupting his rally was escorted out with a smile on his face. "He's smiling, having a good time."

Trump also claimed the protester was "nasty as hell" and accused the man of trying to punch the security officers forcing him out of the rally, though the man did not appear to be fighting off those officers.

"In the old days," Trump added, protesters would be "carried out on stretchers."

"We're not allowed to push back anymore," Trump said.

There is a clue in that story for how Cruz could get Trump out of the race. Get right in his face and confront him on his old liberal positions. You don’t have to hit him back but you do need to throw him to the ground and get him in a half-Nelson after he hits you or you look like a wuss. Make sure security is there to take him into custody right away.

If he doesn’t punch you, then you win by getting right in his face and telling him the stuff he claims are lies and make Trump the beta. It’s a win-win for Cruz.

Its sad to watch a 69 year old man talk about punching someone in the face while standing behind an army of armed private security and lawyers. You never would have guessed he’s running for President of the United States. The Kanye West candidacy, America.

Anti-Trump nation: milquetoast and tone matters.

Trump Nation: boasting and thug life matters.

lol.

Given those hours of tapes Cruz released showing him practicing and trying to appear as something he’s not, it will take hours of rehearsal time and 15 takes before he can pull off such a move in real life.

again, lol

Threatening how? By telling the truth?

Tell the truth. The Ricketts family is ‘supporting’ other candidates by funding negative ads against Trump, and their stated policy is to bring him down.

The story was posted on this very forum today.

Sounds like you’d prefer the sand-kicked-in-my-face candidacy.

Weakness.

In the old days...Trump dodged the draft

There's nothing in his deferment history that was considered unacceptable or illegal at the time.

There you go just as Trump taught you, ridicule is all he has. Thing is you have no effect on me. I stand with TED CRUZ. Now you don’t have to like that, but it is what it is.

If the guy was throwing punches at guests or security, what’s the brown shirt comment for?

You thing our folks should just take punches and not reciprocate?

I expect the President of the United States to have some diginity rather than behave like he’s running for President of the WWE. Its easy to talk tough while having your own armed private security force and threatening lawsuits every week.

This belligerence is what millions of people like. So while I’d prefer a more dignified demeanor, the Jesse Ventura approach may be more electable then the George Romney style. Or something like that anyway.

This time he’s REALLY stepped in it!

He’s done.

How many times has the media fallen for this?

It was unclear what the man who disrupted it was protesting. Moments earlier, another man raised a banner that read, "Veterans to Trump: End hate speech against Muslims."

That alleged veteran should speak for himself.
