The logic is all backwards. That's why the pundits get everything wrong. Trump losing when all his talks about is winning and about how he is a winner; that doesn't help him. | ||

On the one hand, it cements any us vs them mentality he wants to send. On another level, I wouldn't be surprised if the spark for this particular fire involved someone initiating violence, then someone being violent back (as Trump tacitly supported), and then everything snowballed out of control. Kind of a perfect demonstration of how that idea is fundamentally stupid and destructive compared to the Golden Rule that civilized humans should use at least when it comes to low level altercations. Not that anyone will make that connection even instinctively, so the point is fairly moot. | ||

Liberal media and the whole establishment remain ignorant to the fact that atacking someone 24/7 on the media means he gets 20 times the exposure of all other candidates together. How do you think it looks to non-liberals when a bunch of people you dislike (liberal establishment) spend all their time name calling someone? | ||

It's taken me only a few posts to get you to resort to that crazy, revisionist "it never actually happened that way" style of argumentation that we all know and love you for. But yes, articles such as this one: Donald Trump is coming to Cincinnati this weekend ahead of Tuesday's Ohio primary. The Republican presidential hopeful is scheduled to hold a rally from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Duke Energy Convention Center, The Enquirer has learned. Doors open at 9 a.m. Trump's campaign has rented enough space at the Downtown venue to hold 7,000 people. Trump, the GOP front-runner, will make his first visit to Cincinnati since he entered the race. Two polls released early Wednesday showed the billionaire real estate developer leading the Republican field, including Ohio Gov. John Kasich, in the Buckeye State. posted at 11:45 AM on Thursday, are entirely made-up and created by the PC police MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Trump never even wanted to go Cincinnati prior to the Chicago cancellation, but hey, sounds like a good idea! Gosh, what a maneuver Trump. You're the best. Donald Trump coming to Cincinnati Also, it looks like we've got our resident Chilean conservative in the mix now with another confident and well-informed vote for Trump! Either of you wanna take bets or what? | ||

What do you think will happen when he is up against Hillary and his message is "bring down the political stablishment?" | ||

CINCINNATI -- Rumors of a visit from Donald Trump to the Duke Energy Convention Center Sunday seem to be just rumors for now. Trump's travel schedule updated Friday did not include a stop in Cincinnati, but the Republican front-runner will be in Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday. The Dayton rally is set for 10 a.m. Saturday at the Dayton Airport Expo Center. Neither the Trump campaign nor the convention center have confirmed the visit yet. http://www.wcpo.com/news/political/donald-trump-will-be-in-dayton-area-saturday-for-campaign-rally March 11th. just keep talking please, this is hilarious.

But seriously, I can understand many Trump supporters, but people ignoring him just outright lying is confounding to me. Particularly when his honesty/straightforwardness are some of the most frequently mentioned reasons for supporting him. Well ain't that somthin' Straightforward I get. But honesty? WTF. Pretty much every time he opens his mouth a falsity rolls out. He is either honest and as dumb as a brick, or a pathological liar. Neither sound like good traits in a president. | ||

A Texas Candidate Pushes the Boundary of the Far Right MINEOLA, Tex. — On Super Tuesday, Dale Clark voted for a local Republican who claimed on social media that President Obama had worked as a gay prostitute in his youth, that the United States should ban Islam, that the Democratic Party had John F. Kennedy killed and that the United Nations had hatched a plot to depopulate the world. Mr. Clark, 75, was unaware that the candidate he had supported — Mary Lou Bruner, 68, a former kindergarten teacher running for a seat on the State Board of Education — held such views. But as he sat with his wife eating lunch in this East Texas city, Mr. Clark was ready to give Ms. Bruner the benefit of the doubt. “I would not discount her on the basis of having those beliefs,” said Mr. Clark, a retired pilot. “It convinces me, though, that she’s quite conservative, and if I were going to err either way, I would want to err toward the side of the conservative.” Ms. Bruner’s anti-Obama, anti-Islam, anti-evolution and anti-gay Facebook posts have generated national headlines and turned an obscure school board election into a glimpse of the outer limits of Texas politics. In a part of the state dominated by conservative Christians and Tea Party activists, Ms. Bruner’s candidacy has posed a question no one can answer with any certainty — how far to the fringe is too far for Texas Republicans?
