What is it about so many guys dissing how women look? Do people like Newt, Trump and all the zillions of barroom beefcakes look in the mirror and see that they have been sculpted by Michelangelo?

What you can’t tell here is that she’s actually 8’10", which is shy she carries that extra 60 lbs so well. :wink:

Trump: Very offensive, I know. I am ahead. I was and will alway be ahead.

Can we keep this in the news daily for 5 weeks? There are lots of ways to make reasonable women angry, but among the easiest is to have chubby guys tell them to lose weight.

Gingrich then went on to repeat unflattering news stories that have circulated since Hillary Clinton brought up Machado at the debate, including that Machado was once accused of threatening a judge.

Thank you for repeating the unflattering stories with no added context.

It’s crazy that they can’t stop talking about a topic that clearly hurts them.

The surrogates and campaign staff have taken on Trump’s persona, when they need to do the exact opposite. Sad.

Well,considering the NYT piece from the anonymous sources inside the Trump campaign said that the Ailes prepping sessions were basically Trump and Ailes having a bull session about how they have been wronged by women and political war stories…Gingrich seems like a perfect fit at that table.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich joined in on Donald Trump’s body-shaming comments about a former Miss Universe, telling a meeting of D.C. Republicans that she gained “60 pounds” the year she was crowned and dismissing the story as a media "trap."

And yet you all can’t stop yourselves from walking right up sticking your balls right on in. I’m almost giddy over how stupid they are being. :grin:

“This is actually a sympathetic, sincere girl scout of extraordinary decency and great nobility who was really battered by Donald Trump 20 years ago and therefore we should not vote for Donald Trump despite everything else,” Gingrich added sarcastically, according to the site."

So, the argument here is that because she’s not perfect, because she’s made mistakes in life and possibly behaved badly herself some years later, it’s totally OK for Trump to have humiliated her repeatedly and fat shamed a teenage girl? That’s the argument you want to go with? Guess what? She’s not running for president. She may have gone on to be the biggest bitch on the planet, that still doesn’t excuse Trump’s behavior. The fact that they think it does is actually more troubling than the original complaints. They’re basically saying, “it’s OK for grown men to abuse teenage girls when we don’t like them.” Sick.
