1. 2015 or 2016?

[EarlG]

4. Oooooops...

I knew I was going to do that at some point. Fixed, thanks.

[Plucketeer]

12. LOL

Ya had me goin' for a minute.

[liberalnarb]

2. first rec!

2016

[wordpix]

3. That comment should garner him lots of support

among football fans and foreign policy wonks

[reACTIONary]

5. Kim's H Bomb....

.... is as real as Trump's wall.

On edit, as real as a Trump condominium project.

[Cyrano]

6. Oh, c'mon. Trump could moon the camera,

pass gas, and his lead will grow bigger.

The polls are showing us the incredible ignorance of so many Americans.

Up until now, I really didn't believe there were that many stupid people inhabiting our country.

But here's what I believe to be an absolute fact. There aren't enough of them to get him to the White House.

[2naSalit]

9. I strongly suspect

that there are far fewer than the M$M would have us believe. I suspect that the Chump has an astroturf operation going on where most "supporters" are paid shills who are bused in to his rallies and the M$M isn't about to expose him any more than they were willing to do with the teahadist astroturf operation.

And I think the polls are not honest. Wonder where they get their random phone lists from for calling participants in their surveys.

[3catwoman3]

26. 2na and Cyrano, I...

...sooooooooooooooooo hope you are both right.

Ignorance, stupidity and arrogance are a really scary combination, whether it is in candidates of voters. There is an oversupply of all.

[pansypoo53219]

17. fame idiots as well. the kardashian effect. tRUMP is on my TEEVEE.

[awoke_in_2003]

38. The fact that stupid people back him isn't worrisome

To me it is the number of people, who appear rational, that are behind him. This man can make it to the White House, and that is scary. That is why I will be voting for the nominee regardless of who wins the primary.

[bulloney]

7. If Trump thinks football has become soft, let's suit him up and have him line up as an RB in the NFL

The first hit on him from an oncoming linebacker will knock him to next January.

[hibbing]

16. It is a violent violent game

I listen to sports talk radio, and Dan Patrick says the general public does not really understand just how fast and violent the game is. The guy on the Steelers almost got his head taken off this last game. Oh well, just making a serious point in regard to the fascist candidate's latest blathering.

Peace

[awoke_in_2003]

39. It has gotten rougher, IMO

The guys are bigger, stronger, and faster than they were 30 years ago. With that in mind, the forces have to have gotten greater. Pads and helmets cannot stop the brain from slamming into the skull.

[YOHABLO]

21. You don't make a statement that undermines FOOTBALL!! and become President. Bad move Trump.

[BlueMTexpat]

33. Would love to see that, but

Trump is nothing but a bombastic bully. Like all bombastic bullies, he would run as fast as he could were he ever to encounter a situation that requires courage - such as actually having to face any NFLer in a no-holds-barred situation.

Considering his wealthy and privileged position, WASP Trump is allowed to say and do outrageous things by the craven US MSM who refuse to call him out. But we all know that already.

[yuiyoshida]

8. If Trump wants to Run America like North Korea

and Get rid of NFL Football, he is clearly not the candidate to support...and omg, if he gets elected!! Yeah, I know... that is freaking obvious.

[NewJeffCT]

10. He loves Putin and Kim Jong Un

I remember an old Daily Show where they had Newt Gingrich on saying that the capital gains tax in China is 0, and Jon Stuart's response was, "So, in order to stop Obama's socialist machine, we have to become Communist."

[SoapBox]

11. Insane

One would think that even the dolts watching FuksFakeNews, would think...What the hell?

[awoke_in_2003]

40. Have you read 1984?

Thirty years ago I didn't think Doublethink was possible, yet I see it in use frequently.

[Jim Lane]

13. So we make Kim Jong-Un the new NFL Commissioner, solving two problems at once. (n/t)

[libodem]

14. Sure because he's so rugged

If I were more talented I'd put this up in V&M as a straight up video. So if someone knows how, please steal the link and do it for me.

[Gary 50]

15. Hmmm. The Donald expresses great admiration for Kim and Putin.

Just like him they are take charge kind of guys. So they routinely kill their enemies, we all have our faults. He likes how everyone, fearing for their lives, treats these guys like Gods. He thinks that's how people should treat him. And he, in turn, will treat the people like the peons and excess baggage that they are, just as Kim and Putin do.

[narnian60]

18. No words.

Really, there are no freaking words.

[Bucky]

19. At this point, I feel like he's fucking with me personally

Delusional Egomania is a rational response in these times, I believe

[vaberella]

24. i love your statement. n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

41. At first I thought the establishment GOP

put him out there to make Jeb! appear to be the sane choice. I don't think they realize the monster they have created.

[WhiteHat]

20. Oh my. This guy doesn't care WHAT he says.

As a tough guy, Trump doesn't cut it. My grandma would trash Trump with her walker.

What a buffoon!

[erpowers]

22. This From A Man Who Never Played Professional Football

This is a comment coming from a man who has never played professional football. How many years did Trump let his sons play football? Football has not gotten soft. Donald Trump should talk to the guys in football who are getting concessions every week. Maybe he should talk to J.J. Watt, who is going to have groin surgery tomorrow. This is happening after Watt played most of the season with a groin injury. Trump should talk to all the other player's who have had knee, hand, and body injuries. He should talk to Ben Roethlisberger, who left the Steeler/Bengals game after an injury, but then returned when his team needed him and played injured. It was later announced that Roethlisberger has a separated shoulder. The NFL contains many men who played through injuries and pain. Football is by no means soft.

Donald Trump on the other hand is soft. You cannot even talk about this guy's hair without him running around screaming and crying about how mean people are to him. If you cannot take some saying one negative thing about you, you should not claim anyone or anything is soft.

Kim Jong Un is not in control because he is strong; he is in control because he was the son of the leader who died. If Kim Jong Un had not been born into his position he never would have gained the position. It is easy to take out your enemies when you enemies cannot fight back. Kim Jong Un is the same as Donald Trump, a weak bully.

[3catwoman3]

28. You nailed it.

"If you cannot take some saying one negative thing about you, you should not claim anyone or anything is soft." Indeed you should not.

Can you see him surviving even 10% of what President Obama has dealt with since his first day in office? Nothing would ever get done because he would be spending all his time retaliating against everyone who said even the mildest negative thing about him. He has a big mouth and extremely thin skin.

A prime example of one who can dish it out but not take it. What a whiner.

I'm 64. I cannot ever remember someone who wanted to be president speaking admiringly of leaders from countries typically considered to be enemies.

[erpowers]

31. He Would Never Make It

Donald Trump would not be able to take 10% of the insults that President Obama has had to deal with during his time in office. Yes, all he would do is complain about his critics. It is be so horrible to have Trump as President. It would be painful to have to hear him almost everyday run to the media and cry about the latest insult he has had to endure.

[montana_hazeleyes]

32. erpowers and 3catwoman3,

Just wanted to thank you both for your posts. You made many very good points.

[narnian60]

42. Totally agree.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

34. Or maybe he should watch

Concussion to see what these players really go through.

[erpowers]

35. He Should

I have not seen Concussion, but I do want to see the movie. I think it might open his and my eyes to what happens and can happen to these men once they retire from football.

[valerief]

23. The oligarchs would be jizzing non-stop if the U.S. were like North Korea.

But they'll settle to have us like China. My, my, the sacrifices those oligarchs make.

[yallerdawg]

25. Trump has issues with professional football.

USFL - "Loser!"

[vkkv]

43. Trump's LAWSUIT againt the NFL didn't go SO WELL! TRUMP IS A LOSER !!!!

[phantom power]

27. I bet these people rooted for the Empire in the Star Wars movies

The Emperor, Darth Vader... those were some guys who knew how to take charge.

[houston16revival]

29. What sort of Casino Family Values does this fellow Trump stand for?

Have the Republican voters figured out the incongruity yet?

[arely staircase]

30. That is fucking hilarious nt

[Orsino]

36. The Kim Jong-Un blurb is revelatory.

Trump would equate inheritance with leadership, wouldn't he?

[NoMoreRepugs]

37. It never fails to amaze me that Republicans think the spoken word

somehow equates into being a tough guy. Reagan, Bush1, Bush2, Cheney, Trump - tough guys?? Seriously - I'll bet we could count up all the serious fist fights that collective bunch of p$%%#@#
had on a fingerless hand.
