Trump: I could shoot a person and not lose votes
ON POLITICS
Mary Troyan, USA Today 3:42 p.m. EST January 23, 2016

WASHINGTON â€” Donald Trump, apparently concerned the deadly blizzard was infringing on his media coverage, said Saturday that he is so popular, he could shoot someone and not lose voters.

Addressing a campaign rally in Sioux Center, Iowa, Trump bragged that his "people" are the most loyal.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay? It's, like, incredible," Trump said.

And in a move that any kindergartner knows would get them in trouble at school, Trump pointed his finger like a gun and cocked his thumb, just to illustrate how such a scenario might play out in Manhattan.

Trump's audience, for the record, laughed.

As evidenced by the defenses of him in this thread, that's about right.

90% of bloombergs votes would come from Hillary. Not the GOP.

Are you guys still convinced the Donald is the guy? Still nothing of substance. Just insult after insult like this race is the jerry springer show.

Quinipiac this morning has Iowa as a dead heat and Iowa state has a Cruz edge. Some seem to think these earlier polls last week were very flawed in their methods such as landline only, time of day conducted, polling all people and not people likely to caucus which is an entirely different process than normal voting. Any true poll is gonna use all forms of communication, all times of day and only people likely to actually vote. Next Monday could be a wild ride. The last two elections on the GOP side have seen the 2nd or 3rd place candidates outperform the week before polls by 6-16 points on Election Day.

If trump will be beat, it will have to be by someone actually surpassing him. Meaning, he isn't gonna lose many votes. Sad but true. His supporters have their heels dug in. And are naive apparently.

The irony is that some of them I know are the same ones that poked funny of Barry's voters in 2008 for falling for the rhetoric and snappy one liners. Now they are doing the same. History repeats itself.

I don't think 90%. Although early poll showed him hurting Hillary more than Trump, it was close. Blv me, when it comes time for him to enter and if he does, he'll hurt Trump more.

He hasn't spent a dollar yet and said he's willing to spend a billion. I know most of you can't fathom that kind of dough but just take it from me. It's a lot of money. More than a dump truck full.

It will backfire on him. Right now Trump is hardly spending. He has the media waiting on his every word. When bloom joins in, they'll be right there giving Trump free pub to answer everything bloom says.

I'm not saying Trump is the best choice, but right now he knows how to play the game.
So when he says he'll build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it, is it any different than running a campaign and getting the media to pay for it?

I don't disagree about Trump. Just saying that Bloomberg can be Trump on Steroids when it comes to ability to spend. He could probably spend 10x Trumps overinflated wealth.

He is the x factor. He may not hurt Trump as much as I'm saying but it won't surprise me. I don't think he'll enter if the experts are saying that he'll hurt the Dems more. It all depends on his message and strategy--which I suspect will mostly be attacking Trump. If that's so, I think he'll help Hillary and/or the Commie.

Trump is boycotting the final debate and won't participate.

I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct. Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!

Again conflating the very real problem of political correctness with simple decency.

If he can't handle Fox News's Megyn Kelly, he sure as shit can't handle the mainstream media legitimately in the tank for Hillary. And he sure as shit can't handle Vladamir Putin, ISIS, Kim Jong Un, or any legitimate threat...

Proving his point that idiots will back him no matter what he does.

Saw it all over the twitters and book face too. To the death.

Cruz challenged him to a one on one. And if Megyn is really the issue and Ted is stupid like Donald says, then trump should take this offer easily, right? He was about to be made to back up his authoritarian record tomorrow night. And will if he ever jumps on a stage again. People are sick of this charade. This circus. Empty rhetoric.

Hasn't he already had business dealings with Putin?

True

All you have to do is scour any message board, Facebook page or Twitter to see how sheeple trump supporters are. Everything they are basing their support off of isn't so. That's the sad part. And now the guy is a chicken shit. Going gets tough, he walks out. And then declines Cruz's offer. What. A. Fucking. Douche.

Fuck this piece of shit. And this is the guy people want as the commander in chief?

By his own admission they've never even met. The closest they've ever been is in adjacent green rooms for a 60 mins taping. Dealing with and making big picture deals with other countries as a whole on behalf of your country is much more complex than making a business deal which he is usually successful at by using his money and influence and sometimes even eminent domain (a liberal communist style policy).

Dude, I know you are a conservative. I'm asking you to open your eyes here and see through this guys rhetoric and for what he really is. Guy is an authoritarian liberal and has been his whole life. He has no past actions to back any of this up. He is using an angry populist message to pander to an electorate that is very fed up. He will do anything, say anything and run under any label or identity to get elected.

That was said about the last 200 "Trump stunts". Not holding my breath.

Remember, he could shoot a man dead in the middle of fifth avenue and wouldn't lose a vote, according to him.

Once the ones in the know who are currently backing Trump move their support elsewhere, the sheep will follow.
