Years ago I was told you don’t want to lower yourself to your opponents level. Thus I will not respond to this ***** of ****.

“No, we have to beat the savages,” Trump replied.

Can’t really expect moral authority from a guy with multiple divorces and bankruptcies. A guy who played hardball against his own disabled nephew’s healthcare needs, not to mention, an easy penchant for breaking the laws of the Constitution.

He’s going back to what seems to work for him as Cruz looks to be a threat.

So Trump is for torture after he was against it after he was for it. Maybe he’s for it on odd days of the month, and against it on evens. Maybe he flips a coin.

Since he’s admitted in legal documents that his valuation of his own net worth changes day to day depending on how he feels, maybe he’s for torture on days when he feels he’s worth less than he’d like.

A follow up question for Trump should be whether or not he thinks it is OK for other countries to treat US prisoners that way, and if not, why.

A question that nobody in the MSM has the balls or the basic intelligence to ask him, I’d wager.

Of course not. We’re winners. Only winners. So we never have to follow the rules.

This would effectively mean our soldiers should never leave the base when they are stationed overseas. Many countries, including our allies, might arrest torturers.

“They’re chopping, chopping, chopping, and we’re worried about waterboarding. …”

If you really want to punish them, Donnie, make them diagram one of your, or Wasilla Kardashian’s, utterances.

I swear sometimes that Drumpf is the revenge of the Americans who loved W and got mad because we all hated him.

The tragedy is that whatever caused by Trump is not visited upon people like the insect at CBS who loves Trump for his bottom line.

The MSM could stop Trump in his tracks immediately if they wanted to.

It’s interesting to me that folks here are saying less and less that it’s all performance art, he’s trolling the GOP, he’ll pull the mask off and laugh and so forth. There’s just too much evidence by now that he’s what he appears to be—a disgusting, mentally ill, morally perverted freak. I read an interview with a former colleague of his, a woman he delegated the supervision of a big construction project to decades ago. She respected him for some things at the time, but she said an interesting thing—that the anger is real, that’s not an act. And to my mind he’s consumed by it.

Trump did continue by saying he wouldn’t break the law, but would have the law changed. Another missed opportunity for John Dickerson, who could have asked if the Geneva Conventions should be ignored by his changing the law, or would he prove how powerful he is by having them changed. And as for our troops, they will be all powerful and never ever be subjected to capture once the country becomes strong again with Trump as CIC.

Let’s be clear here. There are 1,000,000 books which could be filled with Donald Trump locura.

The real villains are the MSM stenographers who have been ordered to give Trump the butterknife treatment. In a way, I am not specifically talking about the Chuck Todds.

I’m talking about the people who pay him.

And who, if Todd were to have an epiphany, would roll out Chuck Todd 2.0 (no more house on the lake for Chuck)
