No, it is not. If Trump were the nominee it is very likely that he will be attacked on the basis by the Dems. Asking how he will handle it is legitimate. Given his propensity to shoot from the hip and the higher chance that Trump will say something ill-considered, it is doubly legitimate. I do agree that there is a certain component of "When did you stop beating your wife?" in the question. But I don't think it predominates, and knowing how the candidate will answer such questions, when you can be assured the other side will ask them, IS important. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Then there's this: http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb...ina-town-halls/?dcz= This suggests that he's not serious or not interested in running a more conventional campaign. Or is his thinking the Donald brand can supersede some retail politics? Bill Gullette | |||

Yes, it obviously was. If the moderator was interested in knowing how he would respond to false democrat attacks, she could have asked:
See how it's done? That question is designed to actually give the candidate an opportunity to respond to a substantive issue rather than a very thinly veiled attack masquerading as a question. If people can't see the difference, they are either intentionally obtuse or as in the parable they are just refusing to see. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

That article suggests Trump shouldn't rule out an independent candidacy. If Trump did that, we should conclude he is a secret Democrat. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

"Trump vs. Kelly: an Establishment Trap:" So, what is the conservative response to Mr. Trump’s dust up with Ms. Kelly? Don’t step into the trap. Sidestep. As Mr. Trump said in the debate last week: The issue of immigration would not be discussed at all but for his entry into the race. The conservative choice is to focus on the issues that really matter in the presidential race. Mr. Trump is hitting hard on the issues that impact our country most, and conservatives should not be sidetracked by Establishment Republican’s insubstantial distractions. Look at Walker, and Cruz: Cruz is the only figure in view who has answered his party’s betrayal of its rank and file like a roaring lion, calling out no less than its Senate leader (who responded by sending an aide out to cower for him). Walker has defeated three attempts by the hard left to destroy his governorship, in the process breaking the power of the government unions, a victory for which he deserves his own private Rushmore. Sidestep. No one has done it better than Ted Cruz. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Cruz is a master. Though I know it is folly to read anything into the various machinations of anyone involved in politics, deep down I dream that the Trump-Cruz phone call and lack of entanglements between the two is secret plan for Trump to play bad guy, doing the dirty work to pave the road for Cruz. Surely, it is just a dream. Watched a recent interchange between Cruz and Feinstein. He really got under her skin, but was completely un-fazed by her retorts. BTW, she looks like she should be the spokes person for Batesville Casket Company. This space intentionally left blank. | |||

Exactly, the anti attitude again MJ isn't just because she asked a insensitive question on a topic that nobody really wanted to hear about from these candidates, and of a personal nature. It could have been asked in a professional manner, instead it was done attack mode. I haven't seen any other listing but do we have her other personal attack questions on the rest of the candidates, other than "bush being a bush" | |||

Yeah, well, he's actually read, and understands, the Constitution, and litigated it successfully at high levels on many occasions. As an "eyewitness", he ruins a lot of good stories! I'm not buying the story about an actual agreement between him and Trump. Cruz and Huckabee seem to understand what the goal is, to get every vote they possibly can to go for us and them, best done by explaining their ideas and goals and values, not wasting their time and attention tearing up someone else directly, talk about principles, not people, except Hillary, of course. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

Yes, I think that's a dream. From what I know of Trump's MO, he is not that altruistic. But they share a lot of common ground, and no doubt see each other as allies, especially so since Cruz refused to join the yapping, cowardly Republican attack dogs. Over time, I see Trump fading and Cruz emerging. That is my dream. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

The plus for Trump, besides being too rich to be bought by the industrialists and interest groups or that he sees a bigger picture, is that if you work with him (congress) then you'll ride to higher levels, you fuck with him and you might find you're shoveling dog shit out of the white house lawn with a plastic spoon He has the ability to own the press, this could be advantageous to getting people to do things . Or he might implode, either way its fun to watch | |||

You think Trumps numbers and popularity are big now? Wait until he bitch slaps one of these black lives matter twits when they try to bully him off stage. A Bernie Sanders he won't be. All the pieces are in place for this to happen. He's thrown down the gauntlet and they accepted. Wait for it... Wait for it...  "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S.

Here's Trump getting a bit more specific on what he plans to do regarding the border and Obamacare. This from a Hannity interview: http://video.foxnews.com/v/441...etwork#sp=show-clips | |||

Unlike this decrepit old twit Sanders, Trump will have security people within a couple of steps distance and Shaniqua and Man'trav-ious are getting their asses stomped. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

There are quite a few very large former NFL and NFL wannabes looking for work. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Who is the football player who did those commercials where he came out of nowhere in business offices and body-slammed people? That's who Trump needs. | |||

Hell, those two ladies from the YouTube video could clean house and then lay down a great verbal riff about it all.  One thing for sure, there will not be some pathetic flunky sidling up to the mike to squeak out, "okay, we are going to shut it down." ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||
