So, let me get this straight, Trump can go out and say things like ‘How stupid are the people of Iowa?’ and ‘...we won with poorly educated! I love the poorly educated!’, and ‘I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters’ and yet he’s given a pass and cheers abound.
But Cruz points out “Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed.”
Did Ted call anyone stupid? No. Did Ted say Trumps voters are bad or dumb people? No. Cruz’ statement is correct. It’s obvious that people who support Trump are either not engaged in all the information that is out there, and/or they are disregarding all the information that is out there. There is a lot of stuff about Trump that should discourage logical, thinking people to reconsider wanting him as president. That’s just truth. Trump is a liberal, after all.
But of course Trump supporters are going to twist it, and get their panties in a wad. Which is ironic, when they claim Trump is this great, all knowing, all powerful hero that is going to magically fix everything and make everyone pay and yet if he were so winning and wonderful, than it should be smooth sailing, and never mind what people say or think about him, right? If he’s got it in the bag, as they keep claiming, who cares what others opinions of him are? Right? He’s got this.
So I have to ask, what do you call a Trump supporter who does research and vets the candidates?
A Cruz supporter.
‘‘How stupid are the people of Iowa?’’
Why weren’t the people and politicians of IA offended by this? When Cruz trashed New York values, there was plenty of pushback. Both ordinary, man on the street New Yorkers and politicians denounced the comment.
Why didn’t we see similar blowback in Iowa?
It’s the difference in delivery in many cases. A lot of the things taken out of context are things Trump said in jest, humor or in a positive way.
The “I love the lowly educated” comment was re: winning the “highly educated and the lowly educated”, I love the lowly educated... It was meant in an endearing way not an insulting way.
Isn't that what you are doing here is twisting Trump's words? You fail to provide the whole quote but several have here already done that but I noticed several of you have attempted to twist what Trump really said.
