1. What did he say?

[joshcryer]

8. Said Bill is an abuser, threatened Hillary on "woman card."

Same usual.

If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!

Also made a really nasty jab at Sanders supporters an hour ago:

Strange, but I see wacko Bernie Sanders allies coming over to me because I'm lowering taxes, while he will double & triple them, a disaster!

Looks like Trump is going all out with the shit now.

11. Ugh. :-/

[Ken Burch]

2. I'd condemn him on whatever the #@$! he's doing with his belt, too.

Jesus!

[Chemisse]

3. Can you tell me where this clip with the belt gesture came from?

What was he talking about when he did this?

4. Ben Carson said in his wayward past he tried to kill someone with a knife

Ben Carson said in his wayward past he tried to kill someone with a knife and fortuitously for the both of them the attempted murder victim's belt deflected it. Trump argued it was physically impossible because the belt would move and gave a demonstration.

5. Ahhh, I see.

Rather crass, but not what I feared (that it was during the Hillary got schonged comment - lol!).

Thanks!

[BillZBubb]

6. Which remarks?

It would help if you provided a quotation or at least a summary.

Generally, I oppose what Trump says. Most likely that includes any comment about the Clintons.

[PowerToThePeople]

7. I think this is my camp.

Generally, I oppose what Trump says. Most likely that includes any comment about the Clintons.

[joshcryer]

9. I posted it upthread.

He's going all out against low wages and jobs overseas, too. Should sell well.

[joshcryer]

10. Trump lays it on thick every Monday.

Keeps him in the news all week long.

It works splendidly for him.

And I hope, oh so hope, he gets the nomination.

[brooklynite]

12. No-only because if I had to harshly criticize everything Trump said, I'd never get any work done...

[Bluenorthwest]

13. Sure. I've been condemning Trump since the mid 80's, so it's easy for me.

14. Here are some more Trump remarks about Hillary Clinton

In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton “terrific” again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State.

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her."

(from "When Donald Trump Praised Hillary Clinton" in Time magazine)

Somehow I have the feeling that I'm not being invited to join in harshly condemning those remarks.

The point is that none of this tells us anything good or bad about Hillary Clinton. Instead, it tells us that Trump is a loose cannon who, at any given moment, will say what he feels like saying at that moment. If he gets a lot of attention, be it praise or condemnation, that constitutes positive reinforcement for him, because it feeds his belief in his own monumental importance.

15. If it makes you feel better

Of course I don't support Trump's comments.

[Douglas Carpenter]

16. I support Sen. Sanders in the context of the primaries and the

struggle for the Democratic Party nomination. I agree with him more on issues and support his social-democratic message. I do not object to openly criticizing political positions of Bill and Hillary Clinton. That is another matter altogether. I feel nothing but contempt for Donald Trump's hateful and unprincipled campaign and certainly condemn these attacks. These recent comments by Trump are disgusting and harmful in every way.

17. Standing tall with you.

Fuck Trump and his racist, bigoted, sexist supporters.

[Persondem]

18. Trump has always been an @$$. Moreso lately. K & R nt
