I know conservatives (as well as Trump) don't want us to look like Europe, but he's a dude that only France or Italy or Hungary could elect. Forreal.

How can you not love this guy? whether prez or not, hes entertaining.

For reality TV, sure. Running the country? Get the hell out of here with that.

Trump...

There are no words that can appropriately describe this election. All I know is that we'll never EVER live it down if wins the GE. Our shame will be forever archived on paper and digital media in excruciating detail for hundreds if not thousands of years to come. I won't say tens of thousands because if this is the best the largest superpower on the planet can do humanity is not long for this world.

 

[Templar Wizard]

Don't care, I find it pretty damn funny. I approve. I don't support torture or waterboarding, but I totally approve of that woman, and Trump, calling Ted Cruz a pussy.

Leading candidate sees opportunity to create a humourous situation at a rally for a few thousand people.
The woman shouted it out, he built it up with some professional timing, crowd laughs their ass off.
He walks off the praise and then back to it.

Cue acres of outrage!

 

[Rentahamster]

Cruz should just reply with this:

Funny quote, but Betty White actually never said that joke. This Chinese dude did.

[Coffee Dog]

holy fuck, that's hilarious. oh my god.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Cue acres of outrage!

I'm not outraged. It's just not every day that a major presidential candidate would knowingly say that into a live mic.

 

[HStallion]

Is his campaign the greatest piece of performance art ever?

Is Trump really Banksy and fooling us even better than Exit Through the Giftshop? Maybe he is really Thierry Guetta?

Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn!

 

[sangreal]

I don't even know how to react to this at this point

e: Trump curses all the time during his rallies, but this one feels special lol

 

[SURGEdude]

Wow. That was actually a pretty masterful way of repeating it into the mic.

 

[Snaku]

And this is to go even further beyond...

 

[BoboBrazil]

Damnit, not the day before a primary Trump. We need you to win the nom.

 

[params7]

Do you have a vid of that?

I think a candidate saying they want to carpet bomb people and 'I didn't take that money from a bank' is a lot worse.
And I'm not only referring to Cruz.

 

[MThanded]

How can you not love this guy? whether prez or not, hes entertaining.

No. It won't be funny or entertaining if he is president.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

No. It won't be funny or entertaining if he is president.

Advocating for "water boarding" and "much worse" is HILARIOUS.

 

[Iorv3th]

I think a candidate saying they want to carpet bomb people and 'I didn't take that money from a bank' is a lot worse.

That's exactly what trump said.

He said he would bomb the hell out of them and that he doesn't take money from donors and funds himself.

 

[leatherhat]

I love the fact that Trump is advocating for a more socialized healthcare system while completely pretending he isn't.

 

[HStallion]

Advocating for "water boarding" and "much worse" is HILARIOUS.

He's for universal healthcare, but not single player. He actually says it's going to be private, so his plan seems to be something more akin to Switzerland than Canada, though with a strong public option for the poor or something like that.

 

[theignoramus]

Feels like were that much closer to a racial slur coming out of his mouth, as if to complete the cycle of madness.

 

[SURGEdude]

For sure it's ethically worse. But people expect a leader to say awful things in polite language. Until Trump that is.

 

[statham]

For reality TV, sure. Running the country? Get the hell out of here with that.

Hey I'm TeamHillary maybe Bernie, but this dude seriously has a shot to be the next prez. I see a Trump vs Bernie race, and I don't know if Bernie can win. Exp if the NY dude joins, which is looking likely.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I don't remember that episode, but it probably was hilarious, to be fair.

 

[SURGEdude]

Nah Bloomberg is all talk. He knows damn well it's too late to start up a campaign with any chance of success.

 

[Templar Wizard]

That's exactly what trump said.

He said he would bomb the hell out of them and that he doesn't take money from donors and funds himself.

Perhaps I wasn't too clear:
Mr Trump said he would bomb Isis's money stream. Not to flatten a town or village.
And by 'I didn't take money from a bank', meaning they are lying their ass off, because they did.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I think a candidate saying they want to carpet bomb people and 'I didn't take that money from a bank' is a lot worse.

Oh I don't. I obviously think saying pussy into a microphone is way, WAY worse than bombing people.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

"We’re fighting a very politically correct war,” he said in response to a question about avoiding civilian causalities. “And the other thing is with the terrorists, you have to take out their families. They, they care about their lives. Don’t kid yourself. But they say they don’t care about their lives. You have to take out their families."

Donald J. Trump.

 

[Templar Wizard]

Well, I think it's choosing the right style for the right venue.
Huge rally demands a different communication style.

Watch him at a NBC town hall, very very different.

 

[statham]

from today
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/08/politics/michael-bloomberg-2016-election/

and IMO this would lead to a trump win. :/

 

[Nipo]

Advocating for "water boarding" and "much worse" is HILARIOUS.

Both establishment Republican and Democrats hate him. They'd make him run with an establishment VP and find an excuse to impeach him within a year.

 

[TouchMyBox]

That's not nice of him. Cruz has done more for the Trump campaign than anybody else out there.

 

[rec0ded1]

Idiocracy was a documentary

 

[Sickboy007]

I know conservatives (as well as Trump) don't want us to look like Europe, but he's a dude that only France or Italy or Hungary could elect. Forreal.

Eh, I've yet to see in Italy a crowd at a major party rally cheer for torture. This one's all yours.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Who is he?

 

[Templar Wizard]

Oh I don't. I obviously think saying pussy into a microphone is way, WAY worse than bombing people.

I know
I wasn't commenting on you, just in general.

 

[sangreal]

[Digital-Hero]

For the first time... Trump scares me. Heads will roll if he is president and it won't be his.

 

[params7]

Who is he?

Average Neogaf poster between July-November of last year.

lol

There have been posters denying Trump's threat as a candidate up until January. A lot of gaffers are slow on the uptake.

 

[gutter_trash]

I LOLed

 

[GavinGT]

She being random Trump rally audience member

Trump handled it surprisingly well. I mean he said it but he qualified that he shouldn't which is weird as I thought there wasn't anything he wouldn't think he could get away with saying.

Wait...he was totally agreeing with her and just trying to avoid some of the blowback of explicitly agreeing with her.

 

[RustyNails]

I think thats the first time i've seen Trump laugh.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

eh this shit works

I was just about to hit the Share button, just like the OP created a thread

this shit really works, this guy knows how to play this game too well.

I think this guy might win it all.

Spoiler

She was a plant

 

[GavinGT]

The crazy part is Cruz said during the debate that he would allow waterboarding. But I guess he's a pussy for not proposing mandatory waterboarding for every Muslim.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Advocating torture is exponentially warse than calling another dude a puasy.

 

[Nipo]

lol

He isn't going to get the nomination.

Woah, it's not torture, it's "enhanced interrogation". It's not torture unless you lose an organ.

Cruz is the guy that would wait for 'Freshmen Orientation' to drop the bomb on students right?

I get these crazies mixed up
