fortune.

Well, I wonder even then.

Considering how the teaparty would worship someone who has done the horrible things he has done.

6. It's not a legitimate gripe to complain about his first fortune

It's not a legitimate gripe to complain about his first fortune, he earned it like W did, he inherited it.
Reminds me of what Ann Richards said.

7. I am not even talking about the money daddy gave him.

Research what he did with that money, how he did what he did, if you can find the info...

He has gone to GREAT lengths to hide it.

I knew someone who had up close and personal experiences with that Trump, way back then.

They probably figured they don't need rating to cover him like CNN and MSNBC

9. He's taking questions. First question: How do we get rid of the Muslims in this country?

Trump: We're going to look at a lot of things.

interviewer: At your rally in NH, you were asked 'how do we get rid of the Muslims in this country?' You said 'were going to look at alot of things. What does that mean, can you explain that?

whatever answer he gives the next question is...

interviewer: Do you want to get rid of Muslims in this country?

11. It is how you win a debate.

Debates aren't all won or lost on debate night. You need to sell the victory. Fiorina and Donald are pushing their "win" while other GOP candidates are covering their loses. The net result is Donald supporters (many who didn't watch the debate) will conclude he won. It is actually a good plan. Particularly for Trump since he appeals to really low information voters that like "winning".

The longer I listen to him, the more stupid he sounds.

He's in NH. He is making a speech saying the same rhetoric over and over.

"were going to do great, everybody will be happy" Thats the answer to every question he was asked there.

This is a daily reality show. They can't tune him out. Trump looks like he can win this.

17. No details to a single question. Only regurgitated talking points
Thu Sep 17, 2015, 07:43 PM
Sep 2015

From his stump speech which he has repeated nearly verbatim from one venue to another. He even gave a mini version of it at this town hall although he said he would only be making a few remarks before taking questions. He never gives one detail, one solution...only vague generalities followed by platitudes. And the audience accepts that and won't press for more. Imagine anyone else giving answers like, "We are going to look at a lot of things." And the journalists and audience don't ask a single follow up or demand details.

We have met the enemy and he is US.
