    I have been saying it was Trump's mouth that lead to his rise above the pack and it will be his mouth that brings him back down to the pack. Trump's problem is he has to attack everyone who even says a minor bad thing about him. He can't just let it ride or flow off his back.

    I think when he made his McCain remark that was his turning point. Sure he continued to rise in the polls afterwords or at least stay the same. But trump's remark showed he couldn't control his mouth and his need like an old woman, to always have the last word.

    Here is an interesting article from Nate Silver's 538 about Trump's war with FOX.

    No, but becoming a billionaire, using all means possible, is not the same as being President. The President should represent ALL citizens, not just males.
    His comment showed a total lack of respect for 51% of the population, a deep core ignorance , and blatant misogyny.

    Women should pick up on this and start thinking about what a President who just crawled out of a cave means to them and their future.

    Do you use that same prerequisite for Obama? Obama is the most divisive president who was ever elected. Also, Trump defended Miss USA from misogynists. Why would he do that if he hated women?

    There have been exceptions though. Joe Biden is one. The Gaff master Joe got away with saying the most stupid things that should have sunk him but people got used to and just laughed it off. Sometimes I believe he is trying to see what he can get away with because he moved into groping women on camera. Unbelievable. Sure liberal Biden has the media covering for him but it seems Teflon Don's supporters are hanging around no matter what he says.

    Obama is not the topic, don't you have enough grunting, "we hate Obama" threads? I haven't heard Obama make a statement about women that stupid.

    Trump defended Miss USA

    A. because he owns it.

    B. because he believes women should be judged on their looks and conformation just like horses and cattle.......another misogynistic idea.

    Mostly I consider Nate Silver to be massively overrated as a prognosticator but in this regard he's pretty much spot on in regard to Trump and the man's chances and why Trump is pretty much doomed to being nothing more than a blazing flash -in-the-pan on the political stage -- again. People thinking that Trump has a great chance of going the distance in the primaries should pause to review the man's past attempts to get to the end of it.

    He ALWAYS implodes at some point because, as you say, " . . . he has to attack everyone who even says a minor bad thing about him. He can't just let it ride or flow off his back." On top of that the form of attack is as likely as not be utterly inappropriate for a fellow aiming to become the president of the United States of America -- at least via the GOP entryway because GOP voters EXPECT a certain amount of both self-control and class from THEIR upper level politicians, especially from the ones running for the presidency . . . and Trump is pretty much the poster child for No Class and No Self-Control.

    Oh I thought you said you wanted a President who represented all of us. If that's true Im wondering why the same person could possibly support Obama with a straight face. If you have no explanation, then that's perfect. Exactly what I was going for. It proves your comment about representing all of us is pure B.S.

    Oh sure, there are always exceptions but as you point out it's hard to put a foot seriously wrong in a lasting manner when the bulk of the Mainstream Media is always eager to spin and cover for whatever whopper of a gaff comes tumbling from one's lips. So Biden and other leftist gaff-masters are ALWAYS protected to the very end by the leftist media whereas Trump is currently bull's eye for their ire and now -- perhaps -- for the ire of some of the people at Fox News who are likely to consider his attack against their own to be a 'crossing of the line' in regards to acceptable behavior.

    (Shrug) But we shall see. I am simply taking this outrageous outburst from Trump to be the re-establishment of his old pattern of endlessly shooting himself in the foot after once again gaining national attention. As for his supporters, they won't be sufficient if the bulk of the public turns (once again) against Trump's candidacy, as has ultimately happened in the past every time he's tossed his hat into the political ring. One wonders if any of them have bothered paying attention to the specifics of his past, failed political bids and why they all eventually went belly-up on him.

    Is this really the type of man you want for president ? I liked Trump's ideas on immigration and outsourcing, but he's lost a lot of respect. He isn't worthy of the presidential office. What a shame, how low the right wing's bar has been lowered.

    Not me, she had to ask the question. Too many in the field to have a good actual debate. Some need to get weeded out.

    Lowered by who? Just because someone runs, or spouts off their mouth, does not lower the bar, it only gets lowered if he wins. And any of those smart lawyer women at the Foxy Blonde Legs Channel can tell you that.

    Factually incorrect.
    and did you just refer to Miss USA as an "it"? Freudian slip much? Trump defended Miss USA against people who wanted to punish her for having sex and drinking underage. He was the one that insisted on giving her a second chance. It was leftist champion Rosie who began her campaign of hatred towards women.

    I am a realist. I also have no horse in this race. Yet anyway. I have been following presidential campaigns, primary and general since 1956 when I first became interested in politics. Whether or not Trump has good or even great ideas about fixing this country is irrelevant. If Trump can't control his mouth, if he can't come across as at least half presidential instead of vindictive and attack everyone who makes even a mild bad remark about him. He will not have the chance. He will not win the Republican nomination let alone the general.

    Trump has an unfavorable rating among independents today at 60%. Even among Republicans his unfavorable rating is 31%. The highest of any of the potential nominees. If one is to take Trump serious, as a contender for the GOP nomination, he has to improve with those who view him negatively. Spouting off like he is doing will not accomplish that. What it will accomplish is harden his rather small number of avid supporters in the GOP.

    Notice I said avid supporters, not those who may have just said, "I like his ideas and what he said, I think I will support him." Those mild supporters will quickly fall away. Trump is starting to come across as a bully to all but his most avid supporters.

    None of the other red meat he threw out there before the big show was presidential in nature either.

    yeah yeah blah blah blah

    i expect better behavior and composure and temperament from a potential president.
    as much as he came off brash with good ideas, he's lost a lot of the nation's respect.

    Precisely so; because after the Left and the radical Left put a first term U.S. senator with ZERO meaningful national level experience or management or leadership historyinto the presidency who'd been mentored by a host of nation-hating radical leftists in his youth and young adulthood and who was steeped in the Saul Alinsky methodology and who launched his political career in the living room of an unreformed domestic terrorist husband and wife team . . . well political bars just don't get set any lower than that.

    So leftists and fanatical Obama supporters should really pause for thought and then pause for REAL thought before investing much criticizing in the way that the GOP runs a primary contest and with what sort of candidates . . . whom collectively after all did meet the same qualification standards shared by BOTH parties.

    Well stated and I agree. Next month the GOP will have another darling to rave all over. We have had Paul first and then Carson, now Trump. Sort of like 2012 when it was Bachman, then Perry, Cain and Gingrich before they settled on Romney.

    Because I believe it was disrespectful to mock and insult Megyn Kelly, that makes me a feminist ? Look at the anti-feminist threads I have created and it's easy to dismiss you, very easy. Do a little research before you accuse a person of something.

    Why didn't she ask how Mexico would build the Wall, or how bombing ISIS oil wells and refineries would end their advances?
    She and her whole team intended to hurt Trump for zero reasons by attacking him in public about his supposed bankruptcy in Atlantic City when he was already OUT when it happened.
    He had added more money to his account there, and left before the present crash had even started.
    These were NOT politically necessary questions and were clearly intended to make Trump look bad for no reason,... except to get him out.

    What she did was encourage Trump to become a third party and kill the Republicans chances.
