READ THE COMMENTS in the link! These people are hilariously stupid, a truly special kind of stupid.
If the comment section of the article you posted is at all a sign of how Republicans will react to Trump’s ignorance of foreign policy, then it won’t make a damn bit of difference how ill-prepared he is in the debates.
His admirers are dopes, and all they really ask is that he keep blustering, sure. But still, I don’t think Trump realizes what he’s in for on August 6. It’s possible he could melt down and stomp off the stage. At the very least I think it’s a situation where his vacuity could really stand out. God knows the standards are low for Republican voters but at some point gravity has to reassert itself.
I tend to think Trump will go in on the attack and keep attacking every chance he gets. If Jeb! tries to press him for an answer on a policy issue, I suspect Trump will just attack Jeb. If they try to gang up on him then he’ll claim it’s because he’s beating them in the polls and because he’s telling it like it is and they can’t handle it. I also think if he gets backed too far into a corner some of the other crazies will come to his defense. If you’re Cruz, Paul, Rubio, Santorum, or Carson, it behooves you to keep Trump in the race and use him to push out Jeb and Walker in hopes of later beating Trump and inheriting his voters.
For truly epic stupid comments check out the Bloomberg thread (NH voters asked why they like Trump). “Oh He’s rough! That’s why I’ll vote fer him!” Or “I asked my mom if i could write him a letter and ask how I could get rich too.”
I had to quickly down a shot of bourbon just to begin to deal with it. And that was well before noon today.
Now he’s just trolling us. To paraphrase the late Billy Martin, “One’s a born liar, and the other…a bigger liar!” (Sadly, neither one has been convicted of a crime…yet.)
Donald, Donald. In Russia Putin takes loud-mouthed billionaire-buffoons like you and strips them of everything and sends them into exile, that is if his cronies don’t just kill them in the street first.
Nice to see Trump working on alienating the Ukrainian American and East European votes (you know a substantial part of the “Reagan Democrats” demographic) as he opens up on foreign policy. Of course the Paleo-conservatives will love it, but they aren’t going to help win a general election.
