guess which asshole said this: 'I could shoot people and still wouldn't lose voters'

[spanone]

what are the people of this country thinking?

this man is out of his fucking mind.

Sioux Center, Iowa (CNN)Donald Trump boasted Saturday that support for his presidential campaign would not decline even if he shot someone in the middle of a crowded street.

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally here.

Trump has repeatedly pointed to the loyalty of his supporters, many of whom tell reporters and pollsters that almost nothing could make them change their mind about voting for Trump in the presidential race.

Trump's comments come as the debate about gun violence in America has taken center stage in American political discourse amid several highly publicized mass shootings.

[question everything]

1. Sadly, he is right. His number will probably rise

The Republican "establishment" can now than that a-hole who shouted "you lie," the teabaggers who would come to rallies with Obama carrying their guns in public, and their members of Congress who said that keeping Obama a one-termed president was the most important issue.

2. Considering the statements of Trump supporters I've seen interviewed on TV

This doesn't surprise me at all. I've never talked to one, and hope I never have to.

[tularetom]

3. I don't know if I completely agree with that

It might depend on who he shot.

[KentuckyWoman]

4. Well he's right.

In fact if he stood out in the middle of 5th Avenue and shot brown homeless people he'd gain supporters. It's sickening.....

[ChisolmTrailDem]

5. The underlying feeling I get about him after all the numerous times he as inferred violence is...

...that he sounds like a mafioso.

[spanone]

6. i'm sure he's dealt with a lot of them...and who knows, he may belong to their club?

7. ....

8. The thing that is so frightening, is he could get his rabid pack of

followers to do the same.

[cloudbase]

9. That reminds me of Edwin Edwards

back in the day.

[3catwoman3]

10. As if there were not already enough reasons...

...to not want this man in the White House.

What a despicable thing to say.

As I commented in a different thread, I am fond of neologisms (even accidental ones like "squirmishes&quot . I have come up with my own for the crass, coarse, utterly classless Trump - CRASSHOLE

[spanone]

11. perfect!

20. There are some other good ones, too.

21. He and his followers are fakeriots. nt

[LisaL]

12. But isn't he right on that?

He could shoot people and his supporters would still support him.

[3catwoman3]

25. And he is calling his supporters...

...smart. Not so much. Some things are better left unsaid, and this is certainly one of them. SMH.

I am so glad I am not traveling abroad right now. I would be embarrassed to admit I'm from the US.

[B Calm]

13. Trump voters enjoy shooting their foot for Trump's entertainment, so I'm sure they wouldn't

mind if Trump saved them ammunition.

14. Nascent FASCISM, spanone, combined with Orwell's 10 minute hate. n/t

[NightWatcher]

15. Yet we can't fathom how Hitler rose to power?

I think we have to shut up now.

[mountain grammy]

16. Yes, I agree. He's out of his fucking mind.

and so are his supporters.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

17. I'm afraid I must protest your thread title.

It obviates the need for guessing.

[spanone]

19. you're right, it does. mea culpa!

[Thor_MN]

18. That would be any candidate who believes they have have "Blind Faith" supporters...

IMO, no candidate deserves blind faith. If they have it, they are unanswerable.

[hifiguy]

22. If he shot the "right" people

I am quite certain the Vulgar Talking Yam is correct.

[Odin2005]

23. This is pure Caesarism, Hitlerism even.

[TeamPooka]

24. To be fair, Dick Cheney did it first. nt

[3catwoman3]

26. Do I recall correctly that the gentleman...

...who got shot apologized for being in the wrong spot?
