Anderson Cooper to Trump: 'That's the Argument of a 5-Year-Old'
« on: March 30, 2016, 01:13:08 pm »
Finally!  The media finally calls out Trump on his behavior.  I'm not an Anderson Cooper fan, but he got it right and I loudly applaud him.  I've been way off and giving Trump to much credit in saying he's acting like a 5th grade bully ... no, he acts like a 5 year-old!

Anderson Cooper to Donald Trump: 'That's the argument of a 5-year-old'

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper mocked Donald Trump on Tuesday for using a childish argument to defend a tweet about the wife of one of his rivals in the GOP primary.

During a CNN town-hall event for Republican presidential candidates, Cooper asked Trump to explain the feud between himself and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Cooper specifically challenged Trump's decision to share an image comparing the appearance of his wife to Cruz's. The tweet used an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz.

"I didn't start it," Donald Trump offered to Cooper.

This was an apparent reference to an anti-Trump super PAC's online advertisement showing a racy photo of Melania Trump, a former model, from a GQ magazine photo shoot. The PAC isn't affiliated with the Cruz campaign.

But Cooper clearly didn't buy Trump's argument.

"Sir, with all due respect, that's the argument of a 5-year-old," Cooper said.

"No, it's not," Trump shot back.

"The argument of a 5-year-old is, 'He started it.' Every parent knows a kid who said 'He started it,'" Cooper said.

"You would say that," Trump said, talking over Cooper. "That's the problem with our country."

Trump's tweet last week about Heidi Cruz sparked one of the fiercest back-and-forths between the two candidates to date. Ted Cruz called Trump a "sniveling coward" and argued that candidates' wives should be off limits. Trump previously threatened to "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife in response to the super-PAC ad.

When called on his 5 year olds argument, Trump simply doubled down by using another 5 year olds argument.

He's a spoiled brat who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never grown up.

When asked about the Heidi photo used, did you hear him say he thought it was a nice picture?   The jackass is certifiable.

This election cycle I have more respect for CNN than Fox.

"You/They/He/She started it" is a refrain that has become very tiresome. Peel back the last 25 posts here and you are likely to find it in some form.

Megyn Kelly is the only one it seems on FOX that is not supporting Trump. Though even her show seems to have a quota that so many minutes has to be devoted to listen to a Trump supporter flap his gums.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
