Trump Will Pay For Saying Fiorina Is An Uggo and Ben Carson Is An ‘Okay Doctor’
Another day, another thing that’s definitely going to end Donald Trump! Or maybe even two things! In a newly-published Rolling Stone article, Trump went after Carly Fiorina over her looks, and is also now on the attack against his nearest GOP presidential rival, Ben Carson. Neither of these things figure to actually dent Trump, but maybe we can learn a few things from them.
To set the table, the new Rolling Stone features a profile of Trump that includes this description of the candidate watching Carly Fiorina on TV:
When the anchor throws to Carly Fiorina for her reaction to Trump’s momentum, Trump’s expression sours in schoolboy disgust as the camera bores in on Fiorina. “Look at that face!” he cries. “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” The laughter grows halting and faint behind him. “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”
That attack once again has people wondering if Trump has gone too far, and if this will finally put a dent in his now 30% support, but that’s because the mainstream media still doesn’t understand that to Republican voters, Carly Fiorina is just an estrogen hammer to beat Hillary Clinton with, and that there are lots of Republican women who feel that their white male husbands/brothers/sons/fourth husbands are just as put-upon and victimized by feminazis and minorities as those white males feel they are. We’ll know soon enough when Trump inevitably attacks Fiorina at next week’s debate, and if it does anything but give him a five-point bump, I’ll eat a “Make America Great Again” hat.
If they’re really paying attention, though, the mainstream media can learn something from Trump’s response to the Fiorina flap when CNN’s Chris Cuomo confronted him about the “un-presidential” attack on her looks, which is a bit like saying that public urination isn’t very kingly. Trump responded by repeatedly insisting that he wasn’t talking about Fiorina’s face at all…READ MORE

Carson’s favorite bible quote begins “…‘By humility and the fear of the Lord …”
He fears his god…?? Having not being indoctrinated in the christian religion, the idea of fearing your creator, the being that says he loves you so much “…he gave his only begotten son”, is completely illogical to me. As is the reason for Hell, a place of eternal fire, pain, suffering, and torture, where that loving creator will send even a child, if he/she exerts some of that free will he claims to have given them.
It just doesn’t make sense.

Usually if you are terrified of your father, there is a severe dysfunction in the family.
And can you be humble AND run for Prez? Do I smell an oxymoron?

Normally, I’d hesitate to use a family analogy, but in this case yours seems appropriate.

It takes a certain amount of hubris to believe you should be President. But Trump’s chutzpah is beyond mere self-confidence, it’s clearly a manifestation of narcissistic megalomania.

Trump gives narcissistic megalomaniacs a bad name…

Not a Trump supporter, but these comments will only reinforce Donald’s poll numbers. People assume that his comments will hurt his ratings, but they forget that such matters only apply in non-republican ethics. When it comes to GOP politics, the more vile and nasty, the higher the poll numbers.

Exactly and i heard on the radio that his support with women has grown! Unbelievable or is it? With Carson backing down to Trump (as a Black man) his numbers will grow and will bring out even more racist! IMO!

I have yet to see anything that he says hurt him yet
