Earlier Trump addresses pathology.
He says pathology is uncurable. It’s an interesting section, too.
The more interesting aspect is that Carson used the word “pathological” to describe his behavior first. It’s like a court case....Carson opened the door.
Yep, the usual everyday purposeful misunderstanding by the liberal Media. They just can’t get it right. LoL. Bunch of ninnies who cry wolf everyday. All epic failures.
Media lies.
Horribly.
They’ve been doing it to Carson. This is the same to Trump.
This is clearly a deliberate distortion meant as a smear of Trump to purposely and knowingly present a false impression in people.
Bigger question Is why is Trump even talking about belt buckles and knives?
When Obummer speaks it’s called a speech, when Trump speaks it’s called a rant.
In the end, we are presented with less than ideal human beings for whom to vote.
Our choices are;
1) Hillary Clinton. (documented congenital liar)
2) Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, et.al.
The former is all about self, and could care less about anyone else.
Of the latter, none are perfect. One must choose who is most likely to perform the most acceptably while in office. People grow, people do change, albeit slightly and slowly.
The real question is about CHARACTER. Who has the best character and is likely to do what is best for AMERICA as opposed to themselves. Who among the Republican contenders most represents your thinking on matters of importance to you. My own choice has to be acceptable to me. Whether you agree or not is not important to my choice, and why I chose that person.
For me, Donald Trump is not the ideal candidate, nor is Ben Carson, nor Ted Cruz. The rest are completely unacceptable. So of the three presented, which would you prefer? Your choices are this...or not vote at all, which essentially would be a vote for choice #1 above.
Here’s a question for all the legal eagles out there - but is Ben Carson actually liable for prosecution on the basis of his admitted crime of trying to stab his friend in 9th grade?
This incident would have happened in 1965 or so, when Carson was in 9th grade.
Carson graduated HS in 1969 and went to Yale. So he lived in Michigan for four years after the incident.
He then graduated from Yale in 1973 and attended medical school in Ann Arbor, finishing there in 1977. So that’s another four years of being a Michigan resident.
He then went to Johns Hopkins to finish his residency and then stayed on there for the rest of his medical career.
The Michigan Criminal Code for statute of limitations gives a limitation of ten years for charges to be brought for the crime of “assault with the intention or conspiracy to murder.” However, this ten year period apply to time of residency in the state of Michigan, in which the individual was “substantially residing” in the state. Carson only had eight years of post attempted murder residency.
So is he still liable for prosecution if he sets foot in Michigan, or liable for extradition?
Not saying this should or will happen...but it does raise an uncomfortable question.
Trump “how stupid are the people of Iowa, how stupid are the people of the country, to believe this crap”
Spin it any way you like that exactly what Trump did. Trump has got to learn to be more disciplined. It these sort of off the cuff remarks that are hurting him with voters who might other wise vote for him.
The only person who can stop Trump now is Trump. These sort of comments are not going to help him
He’s a New Yorker. That’s how they talk. I am not sure it will work for an Iowa audience, but who knows. I don’t see it as a big deal. It is part of his personality.
how stupid are the people of Iowa, how stupid are the people of the country, to believe this crap..."
Yes, some Iowa voters are stupid. Then again, the idea that a bunch of local political kaffeeklatches are somehow a key decider in who will be the candidate is ridiculous. We’re all stupid if we assign that much credibility to a localized, non-binding political contrivance like a caucus. All primaries should be set on the same day with only those registered with the party and on the rolls allowed to vote. I don’t care how the democrats do it.
Trump is a man. He is not God. He is not perfect. He is going to make mistakes. This is a mistake.
So Trump is attacking Carson - GOOD!
Better than telling us we should elect him and he’’ beat hillary becuase he with propose a tax plan that will do this, and he should be elected becuase blah blah blah, like Bush should be elected becuase he cut taxes in FL, YAWN.
We need someone who will take the fight TO the person he is running against. Hiilary is scared to death that Trump won’t treat her with kid gloves like the media and all the rest of the boring GOP candidates.
The New York crowd understands full well what Trump was doing. He was not actually calling Iowans stupid in the literal sense as in saying you are stupid people. The phrase “Are you stupid?” Or attaching stupid as an adjective is for better or worse a figure of speech in this region to denote something unbelievable. In this instance, Trump in effect says that he can’t believe Carson is this high in the polls based on an unbelievable (to him) story. So he makes a statement and follows it by a reference to being stupid. We do this all the time here. As an example, say someone will make a statement that the Jets will win the Super Bowl, a normal discussion might be “The Jets haven’t won since Namath, they’ll never win, what are you stupid?” So this is a case of Trump being Trump. Question is, will the larger population understand this and be okay with it.
