Donald Trump echoes DU members' comments re. why Hillary was late at the debate.

[RandySF]

For Trump — who comments often on Clinton’s penchant for pantsuits, has insinuated she is in a lesbian relationship with close aide Huma Abedin, and insists she doesn’t have “the strength or the stamina” to be president — Monday’s remarks take his focus on her personal life to a new level of intimacy.

Remarking on Clinton’s late return to the podium after using the bathroom during a commercial break at this weekend’s Democratic debate, Trump said, “I know where she went. It’s disgusting. I don’t want to talk about it. It’s disgusting.”

Trump also took a shot at Clinton for losing the Democratic nomination to Obama in 2008. “She was favored to win and she got schlonged,” he said. “She lost. I mean, she lost.”

At one point, Trump contemplated the possibility that Clinton would become the next president and slapped his palms on his head in mock exasperation. “Is that a president?” he said. “You saw her the other day, in all fairnes

1. You mean "echoes about two DU'ers comments". Right? Or was it one? nt

[joshcryer]

3. I counted like a dozen or so.

Just went back to the latest idiotic thread and checked.

[Scootaloo]

12. So, a dozen or so, out of... what, four hundred odd Bernie supporters?

Man. Guess that means i'm free to judge the sixty-or-so Clinton supporters by the ~9 antisemitic shitheels posting links to Stormfront, asserting jews all hate blacks, fawning over Louis Farrakhan, and such, right?

[joshcryer]

13. If you're going to use numbers when you downplay...

...at least be a little bit accurate?

If you want to be honest about it why not consider how many Sanders supporters are defending her in that thread vs how many are trashing her? I count like 3. And it's way more than a dozen assholes now that I look at the rest of the thread.

What's really annoying to me is that most of the posters are regulars, whose nicks I recognize, so it's not like some sort of rare thing, it's just your run of the mill crap posting. And yeah I have a lot of people on ignore so I probably have missed the Louis Farrakhan thing and the Jews hate blacks things and the links to Stormfront (although I think I saw you and another poster having it out over that Stormfront thing, seems to be a reoccurring thing).

I can only tell you what I'm seeing in this instance.

[1StrongBlackMan]

20. I didn't see the thread; but, tell me ...

There were 350+ Bernie supporters taking that "dozen or so" to task ... right?

[joshcryer]

22. Nope, 4 including me.

But I stopped replying when I got a litany of replies in my inbox and I simply didn't want to reply to each and every post.

I have a new respect for those other 3 Sanders supporters who either shrugged it off or one of them who actually argued with the others about how it was bullshit.

[1StrongBlackMan]

23. Litany of replies in your in box? ...

LOL ... sad.

Though we frequently disagree on stuff, I have always respected you.

You are the kind of supporter, campaigns need; as opposed to fans ... who, in their zeal, do more damage.

[joshcryer]

24. In my "my posts" I mean.

I think of it as my inbox lol... never get PMs, if I get a PM message alert thing I just assume I got a post hidden.

[1StrongBlackMan]

25. Oh ... okay. LOL. Which thread was it? ...

I'm headed to the airport and will be needing some comedy.

[joshcryer]

34. Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251931777

Didn't realize it was self deleted!

[1StrongBlackMan]

36. That was,the one with the picture of the O'Malley staffer ...

Right?

I saw the title and read the 1st paragraph, and moved on.

[joshcryer]

38. Yeah

I only made 3 posts there because it wasn't worth it.

[George II]

46. You saw Clinton supporters posting links to Stormfront? If making such a slanderous accusation....

....I'm sure you can tell us where they are, right?

Before you say "they're gone", posts if deemed offensive don't get deleted, they get hides.

So, where are they?

[Recoverin_Republican]

49. I'm sure there's more GOP scumbags on here than that. Hooray for RW disinformation (NOT)

[NuclearDem]

6. Yeah, no. It was a few more than that.

[joshcryer]

7. I should say I stopped counting after I hit 13...

...kind of pointless to read that stupid thread again.

[libdem4life]

2. After careful thought, I believe she did what most women do after they, well, they freshen

up their makeup, check their nails, make sure their hair is right, no toilet paper under the shoes kind of thing. And come on, a fashionably late entrance? That's what we do. It was a bit rude to the awaiting audience, but in the end, I'm OK with it.

Trump, OTOH, is becoming increasingly unhinged. But I have plenty of popcorn.

[joshcryer]

4. It was dumb that they gave all the candidates 5 minutes.

But there are so many reasons why she would wait for the other person to exit. Wanted to check her make up, wanting to give herself a pep talk, wanting to check her phone for texts (she had functional pockets, I have no doubt her phone was in there), needing to completely remove the robe to use the restroom and didn't want to feel nervous with another person being in there.

It's so absolutely ridiculously how people blew up over something completely reasonable. Completely reasonable.

And it wasn't like she had SS take the woman out of the restroom, she waited patiently until she could go in by herself, and then did what she had to do, which she clearly felt merited privacy. And given that it was a damn debate, you want that privacy to clear your head.

[libdem4life]

9. I agree with you for the most part. Maybe it was a man who made up the rules. That would make even

more sense. Time flies when you're on a break...we all know that.

[restorefreedom]

39. it was INSANE to have a 5 min break

the abc people were being pricks just because they could. and then to start before they were all back? rude beyond rude.

and i am not a clinton supporter.

as to trump, he seems to have issues with normal human functions. maybe he is a germophobe. in any case, its the clown show.

[2pooped2pop]

5. perhaps but I did read a report saying that the reason she was late

was not because she was late getting out of the bathroom, but because she was late going into the bathroom. It said she refused to go in until it was cleared of anyone else. Yes a woman of the people.

[libdem4life]

8. I know what I do...I bend over and check to make sure no one is in the stalls, then I feel more

comfortable. And it was nice of her to let O'Malley's staff person go first. But I'm thinking that if I knew the entire audience...there and tv...were waiting. I mean she could have elbowed her way in first so she could get back in time, but that wouldn't be gracious etiquette. Like I said...I'm OK with it.

[joshcryer]

10. I'm a guy and I do that, too.

I'll even use the stall over a urinal (without dividers) if I can. People have different ways of handling public bathrooms.

[George II]

47. Yes, and if she did what you suggest toward the end of your post, the thread would have been....

....about how much of a bully and self-important she is. Good that you're okay with what happened, probably 99% of Democrats are, too, but there are always some who aren't.

And I can't believe that three days after the debate people around here are still talking about it as though there are no important issues to discuss.

[libdem4life]

48. Me either...moving on...

[2pooped2pop]

52. well to be sure

it does make her think herself too good to share a bathroom with the little people. She had to have it cleared out so that only she could use it.

[Paka]

17. And she knew a late arrival would put the spotlight on her.

Her ego has no end.

[leftofcool]

19. More peepeegate?

[1StrongBlackMan]

21. LOL ...

I swear ... DU gets more entertaining by the day. I can't wait for the primaries to be over so some of our more imaginative and creative members can turn their fire on the gop, instead of Democrats.

Do you think they will still be around?

[stevenleser]

26. Folks who make comments like that is why I hope that crowd leaves for the

Jackpine website and don't come back. Attacks on BLM, then pretending it never happened, ranting about the efficacy of online polls when before July of 2015 we all acknowledged how online polls don't mean anything and all the stupid comments about Obama and Hillary over the past 7 years, honestly the website can do without folks who behave that way and do with more level headed Democrats.

I've noticed how many of the best DUers no longer post or have cut down posting and the slack has been taken up by the kind of folks who promote "peepeegate".

[1StrongBlackMan]

35. I know what you mean ...

I commented before, I have noticed a pattern ... when I post a substantive post, which I rarely do these days, it either goes uncommented on, is met with snark, or is soon derailed to discuss something "more important"; but, when I post BS snark, the sub-thread goes on, forever.

[leftofcool]

31. Yea, some of them will stay to attack the GOP

The die hard "I will not vote for Hillary" people will no doubt find a cesspool where they can trash her 24/7

[stevenleser]

28. Another low for DU for sure. Nt

[riversedge]

40. I would expect that from a Republican-like Trump--not from a DU member. It is shameful

[2pooped2pop]

54. again, since she did the same thing last debate didn't she? n/t

[RandySF]

41. Again, a typical Bernista comment

Looking for any reason to zing her no matter how petty. Perhaps you are so perfect that never had reason to want to be alone. I would bet that Bernie, as an older gentleman, wants a little privacy as well.

[2pooped2pop]

53. I've never tried to claim an entire bathroom for myself.

no matter how much I would have liked to.

[SunSeeker]

11. Donald Trump is disgusting. nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

51. You got that right... for the life of me, I still can't figure out what tRump was implying that was disgusting about using the bathroom.

BTW, I also don't understand why the candidates don't have direct access to bathroom facilities (w/o having to wait) during debate breaks.

[Cha]

14. I'm sure trump would busy himself with Hillary's bathroom details and we all know trump is an

asshole.

[yuiyoshida]

15. He certainly is that

Cha..

[Cha]

16. Aloha yuiyoshida~

[yuiyoshida]

18. aloha Cha!

[liberal N proud]

27. Nothing Trump says or does echoes anything I say or think

He is a misogynistic asshole of epic proportions.

I think the best thing that could happen to this nation is an election pitting Trump against Hillary.

It would expose the hate and inequality which embodies the republican party like nothing before. It would give this nation a chance to see what they are really about.

The voters would have to decide, do we change for the better or continue this neo-conservative slide into the abyss.


So when you say he echoes DU members comments, you need to be specific as to which DUer's he agrees with.

[Thinkingabout]

29. He jumps at every opportunity to make a complete a$$ of himself.

Since there appears to be a lack of knowledge of the difference of restroom customs in men and women is the same reason the Republicans thought a committee of only men was the best to decide women's issues. Are we going to need to produce a Biology 101 in order to explain restroom customs, perhaps we will in order to explain why it takes women longer on restroom breaks.

[notadmblnd]

30. I think your comment about fellow members here is over the top nasty

I have never seen any member here say that sort of thing about HRC. This is a blatent slur against fellow members and just goes to show how damn low some are willing to go to.

[LuvLoogie]

33. Something about shoe and foot

and hurt feelings. I'll remember once I have my coffee.

[daybranch]

32. As Bernie said we are sick of hearing about your damn emails,

and were never really interested in Hillary's restroom time or activities. Get over yourselves Hillary people. I remember when Sadat went to White House to visit Jimmy Carter, and Jimmy asked if he needed to use the bathroom. I thought reality is reality. I know all you Hillary fans would not wish anyone to know she poops but we do and we really do not care. As far as not using the bathroom while a Bernie person is there, maybe she wanted to get information from her handlers or just could not stand anyone who disagrees with her. In any case we do not know and I really do not care. Another poor Hillary , the female is mistreated dog whistle to those ignorant of her positions versus Bernie.

[LuvLoogie]

42. More hurt feelings.

[1StrongBlackMan]

37. And why not? DUers have taken to ...

posting from rightwing sites, on the regular.

[Bluenorthwest]

44. One of the Hillary supporters who did that got banned, finally. KellieKat44. Reasons for PPR:

"Posted an OP claiming that the terrorist attacks in Paris were an effort to distract the public from the crimes of Jewish bankers. Posted link to disgusting antisemitic website to support this theory."
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=292436&sub=trans

Here is one of her many smears of Bernie, unrelated I'm sure to her 'disgusting antisemitic' bent:

"7. Actually, if you are honest, Bernie seemed to be the candidate of anger and bluster. nt"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251681040

That same poster had blamed LGBT for the 2014 midterm election loss, 'the brazenness with which they flaunted their marriage rights'.

I spent a year watching her cohort defend her, I had posts hidden for quoting her anti LGBT materials.

So while you think it is all 'them' it is really also 'those others too'. The high horse in our stable really should be left unmounted until a suitable rider is found for such a steed.

[Bluenorthwest]

43. If that's how you roll then I judge Hillary supporters using as metric KellieKat44, PPR'd for

blatant antisemitic posts and links after a year long bigotry buffet on DU which included blaming LGBT for 'the brazenness which they flaunted their rights' for the midterm election losses. Or I could include in the metrics any of the many Hillary supporters who have linked to Stromfront, or to Progressives Today while declaring that they would not vote for Bernie if he is the nominee. I could include the one who says she mostly works with Republicans to get low property taxes and more liquor stores on the main streets.
I have links to all of those and many more. They are just as definitive of your cohort as your chosen examples are of Bernie's. Exactly just as definitive.
On the other hand, I see many posts and even OP's from Hillary critics defending her for the sexist debate break bullshit. One of DU's most ardent Hillary critics made such an OP. I have never seen any of the ardent, dedicated anti-Bernie posters do such a thing for Bernie. Nope, they attack full time. I also do not see you giving any credit to the Bernie supporters who do defend Clinton when the occasion calls for it. Nope, you attack. Full time.

So is that fair? That I use the worst of those posing as Hillary supporters as metric by which I judge you and the rest? That seems to be what you are demanding here.

[NCTraveler]

45. Certian DU members are demanding Clinton appologize to Trump.

Jump....The....Shark....

Getting crazy around here. I almost want to gift Sanders five points in the polls just to calm rhetoric around these parts.

[Cha]

50. KICK!!!!
