Trump Blames 'Our Communist Friend'

[SHRED]

Blaming others for his failings and name calling. What a dick.

1. That is the typical Republican response--ALWAYS somebody else's fault

and be sure to smear the other guy with some name-calling lie while you're at it.

2. Trump had to say Communist

But I believe he meant Jewish!!!

4. He might have meant BOTH

The important thing is Trump is shaping public opinion to perceive a state of civil unrest.

And you know, Trump is going to argue that TRUMP! is the guy that we need to save us from the unrest.

3. This all feels quite orchestrated. Remember Trump and Bill had a little meeting right before Trump

declared.

Plus I think my PC needs a bilge-pump accessory - all the scolding authoritarian directives that are oozing out today are kinda stinking up my computer!

Do they really think that stuff works? Yikes!

5. Ya, I've had the awful feeling that Trump is a stalking horse...but

I think no one expected his success, even him.

Now the cannon has broken away from it's mount

6. When you have

So many (R) who say Hillary over Trump you know the GOP is in trouble. They are going to a contested convention and Trump can not get it. So after first round he is going to lose delegates and then as more are allowed to switch he will lose more. I think after 3rd round 80% can pick who they want. That is why they told Rubico inc to stay around.

7. Yes

They could possibly even "parachute in" someone else they want if they really want to work for it, even Jeb Bush! (probably not though)

8. We'll be hearing "commie" a lot more from Trump and Cruz

Meme needs to squashed as efficiently possible, to prevent them from influencing the uniformed portion of the electorate.

9. I can hear Bernie now..

"excuse me.. it's 'Democratic Socialist' thank you very much!"

lol.. and Drumpf blowing him off. They are going to be some loud debates!!

10. Trump's mother should have taught him better

Like this lady in Vermont taught her son 30 years ago:

<The old woman looks at him and smiles indulgently. She clearly likes the mayor. “I shouldn’t say this,” she tells him, “but I saw you on TV the other night, with my son, when they finish fixing North Avenue? And my son says to me, ‘That Mayor Sanders, he’s a communist, you know.’ And do you know what I say to him?”

Sanders shakes his head no.

“I say to my son, ‘Don’t go around saying such things where intelligent people can hear. They’ll think you are stupid.’”>
