I often post things that are true, but you don't tend to believe them. In the second sentence of your post you pretty much stated that this time would be no different.

The problem I see is that Trump (and you) seems to see any criticism as an attack. The guy blurts out whatever pops into his head, and it usually happens on camera. That opens him up to questions and criticism. He's running for president, for God's sake.

The Megyn Kelly incident is a great example. The asked him some really tough questions, but they were fair. He made the statements that she quoted, and that makes them fair game. His response was to imply that she was being irrational because she had her period. How can you possibly justify that? It was a stupid, childish, offensive thing to say, and he was wrong to say it.

You are often wrong and just because you believe the liberal media or those on the right that don't like Trump does not make it true.Also I just don't like lies and slander. Trump does not use lies and slander like his political enemies have against him,this is one thing that so many overlook. I also believe a person has the right to stand up for himself and even attack back after being attacked first especially when it comes to politics and Trump has done this and what I noticed about Trump is when he hits back its the truth,it is not just made up things. His political opponents on the other hand use lies and slander to attack Trump.I mean Ted Cruz would talk about his faith in Jesus and then tell lies. I know he did'nt like Lyin' Ted but it was true. I knew he was faking his Christianity and was not sincere. Honesty beats that any day, yet Cruz supporters just overlooked it because he talked about Jesus. Every President the last 50 years has talked about their faith in Jesus too and yet we get abortion, same sex marriages,etc regardless of who is in power,nothing changes. So we have been tricked many times and yet Cruz fans overlooked this and overlooked his lies.
Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

Regardless of who you like, I think you gotta have true objectivity.

Trumps 'there must be blood coming out from somewhere' quote is unexcusable.
I am neither for him or against him myself. Don't know enough.

But I'm waiting to hear what acb has to say concerning the comment edward brought up.

If it's a 'Yeah, but....' then I question if acb has true objectivity concerning trump.

Though it's good to be fiercly passionate about what you believe in, it has to stand up to honest evaluation. And not automatically dimissing what others have to say.

I wonder if Hilary Clinton ever told a lie or acted like a bully? Made multiplied millions in foreign money exchanged for green backs?

Anyone know?

Yes, went to North Dakota to help friends there wire several equipment shelters - ie barns... replace fuse box with breakbox, check electrical circuits, run wire, get power to garage door openers, rough in and finish lights and plugs and switches...

Tired now as I try to catch up what is going on here on the forum...

The way things appear to be in the US, tensions and the like, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump was assassinated after being elected and Pence ended up becoming the President. That'd make a vote for Trump a vote for Pence wouldn't it?

That is a flat-out ridiculous statement. Need examples?

- Muslims in New Jersey gathered to cheer as the Twin Towers came down. That's a lie, and it slanders American Muslims.
- "They" demanded for a moment of silence for the Dallas shooter. That's a lie, and it slanders African Americans.
- Lyin' Ted's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination. That's a ridiculous lie and it slanders Rafael Cruz.
- Trump called Ben Carson a "pathological liar"? That's not slander?
- Trump claims that, unlike Clinton, he was vocally opposed to the Iraq war. If that's true then why can't anyone find any evidence that he said that before this election? No? Oh, right, he's lying.

ACB, Trump lies constantly.

If she did is that justification for Trump to do the same?

I think he's safe enough. The people most likely to snap and kill the president are Trump's most vocal supporters.

That's cool with me. Pence being president, I mean. Because I think governors are not as corrupted by Washington dirty money and limousine lifestyle. Pence is probably just as screwed up as a normal person, but at least he's no Warren or Lord knows who else Hil will pick

If Megyn Kelly can dish out unfairly setting Trump up in a national debate unlike any other candidate Trump has every right to call her out on it and nothing Trump said even comes close to what liberals have said about conservatives like Sara Palin,etc. She cannot set up Trump like she did trying to take him out and expect Trump not to respond. She was in the wrong and deserved what Trump said.

This thread is about who Mike Pence is.

Let's keep the Trump butt kissing for one of the other threads.
