Agree 100%, but again, that does not mean he doesn't have guts. He handled this one perfectly.

Are you fucking stupid or batshit insane? Nevermind I already know the answer to that.

Westmoreland had guts, Bush and Cheney had guts and where did that get us?

If I have a choice between guts and level headed, I'll take level headed anyday of the week. Why? Because I prefer not to see, "These are the names of the US Service men and women who died this week in _______ in the war on _______".

Ticks me off whenever I hear "he has guts"

He's an annoying blowhard that only cares for himself.

He doesn't have guts, he just doesn't give a shit what people think. Why should he? Anyways, would I rather have someone like Trump, or some lifelong leech politician? I'd do Trump for the entertainment factor, I mean, what the fuck could he really fuck up that wasn't fucked up already.

I don't need to twist, the video will be more damaging to the GOP than anything I personally have to say. 🙂

Especially how Trump responded to Jorge Ramos saying he has a right to ask a question as a legal immigrant and Trump answering, "no you don't."

Trump was correct. He doesn't have a right to ask a question out of order without being called upon. That is how press conferences work. Security had every right and responsibility to throw him out. Regardless of his nationality. Ramos was just being an @sshole and you know it.

security removed him. and rightfully so.


edit: the OP is also trying to twist the facts into something sinister when nothing wrong happened.

Capt. Univision was acting like an irritable activist.

In the end, I do believe he got to ask Trump more questions than every other person even though he wouldn't drop the nonsensical behavior.
 
CNN is really twisting this with the headlines and taking certain things out of context. I'm not a big Trump fan at all but the Univision guy did get his questions in and Trump answered them. The Univision guy then kept going on and on and eventually they had to remove him to get the show on the road.

Trump did a good job, I don't see anything "crazy" here other than the fake controversy made by CNN.
 
I watched a little segment this morning on CNN, it's hilarious to see them try to manufacture an "issue" where there is none. One of the idiots was saying that the rest of the press in the room should have banded together to make sure one of their own wasn't "bullied". This is the kind of stupidity that passes for journalism or reporting these days? Nobody was bullied. The idiot wanted to use someone else's press conference as his own personal pulpit to spout his inane drivel. He got shut down. Trump was actually nice enough to let him come back later and ask questions, that idiot should be banned from all political press conferences until he learns to respect others and take his turn.
 
Trump is a major ass, but I don't blame him for this one. Trump was calling on reporters and Ramos was just shouting and not waiting to be called.

Realibrad, you forgot that the first amendment is a big thing here and it includes freedom of the press no matter how rude, how stupid, how biased, how racist they are.

Look at this how the POTUS handled a press member for being "rude": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuFkKbrUFw8

The difference between the two is that Obama made the press reporter Garrett look stupid.

And in contrast to that, Trump made himself look stupid, biased, racist.. you can pretty much name your adjective here.

Did... did you just quote "the first amendment" when it comes to speaking out at a PRIVATE meeting with someone? Oh god my head hurts. The stupidity is strong here.
 
It's really hard to hate Trump when he is so often right.
Calling the other republican candidates suck-ups was quite accurate.
And not just this current group.
That is why Donald does so well. People know politicians are bought and paid for.
And after their election, as Trump so accurately put it, they become overwhelmed by all the marbled walls and fancy wood in the capitol building and forget why they were sent there in the first place.
I buy that. It's true.

What Donald is saying everyone already knows to be true.
That if Hillary were elected, nothing much would change.
If Jeb Bush were elected, then again nothing would change except we would probably get the same old crowd in there that served his brother GW, and that would mean back to the future for all America.

As far as that reporter giving Donald crap, Donald was right to toss him out.
I myself might have first given him the chance to sit down and shut up, promising I would call on him when it was his turn, but only if he behaved until then.
But this reporter seemed awfully set on making a statement, and trying to tell not only Donald, but all of America how to handle our illegal immigrants.
Which obviously, this reporter felt the answer was to do nothing, let them the illegals all cross the border willy nilly, then allow them to stay put in America.
Which would amount to working for wages paid under the table, paying no taxes since they are invisible to the IRS, and showing up in our emergency rooms with no medical insurance nor any desire to pay for their medical care.

And we all know exactly where that has gotten us.....
 
Meh, they both suck in the exchange.

I've said for years that we're well on our way to "Idiocracy" becoming reality. Well, President Camacho can't be that far off.

Sounds like you already thought Trump was stupid, biased, and racist, and you're twisting the nature of the situation to confirm your own view.

In other words, you're delusional.

Have fun in P&N!
 
Ramos was out of line but Trump should have just ignored it. Now the increasingly hostile latino media has a nice clip of one of their most respected (and viewed) journalists being forcibly ejected from a Trump press conference. Sure this plays great for the primary but holy fuck is stuff like this going to come back and bite the party in the general election. This toxic stew of social conservatism and borderline (sometimes not so) xenophobic rhetoric is apparently being heated over burning copies of the GOP report from the 2012 election about how the party went so wrong.

How do you ignore a loudmouth who insists on standing up and shouting out idiotic questions out of turn?

He did the exact right thing.

They were already hostile to him since he doesn't believe in simply throwing open the border. Anyone who considers Ramos a "most respected" journalist is already an idiot and will obviously vote democrat anyway. Ramos is a leftist activist and his daughter is part of hildabeasts campaign.

What's even more interesting is the responses from other news sources where they jumped to the interloper's defense with skewed biased interpretations of what actually happened.

So here's this guy disrupting Trump's press conference to draw attention to himself and his agenda, quite similar to how the Black Lives Matter folks disrupted Bernie Sander's rally, and the news folks are jumping in to defend this reporter that was attempting to make news for himself whilst criticizing the Black Lives Matter folks for doing the same thing (for different reasons of course).

Go figure.

For clarification, I'm not defending Trump's behavior, but I am wondering about the media and how they tried to turn what happened into something they could exploit at Trump's expense.

What's to wonder? Our news media's sense of self importance is wildly over inflated. The behavior that results, such as what you point out, is entirely predictable.

How long before Trump creates a reality TV show called "The Candidate"? I will proudly abstain from this election as I have done since 2000.

oh shit! you should send him a email for it. If nothing else for the lolz.

No way Trump wins. but he is sure making this election exciting. he is something it really needed. A candidate that does not take shit. I'm waiting for the people of #BLM to interrupt him. that should be fun.
