 Trump says HE SAVED TED CRUZ’S LIFE!!

 (http://therightscoop.com/trump-says-he-saved-ted-cruzs-life/#ixzz4GBwNMmlJ)El Trumpo just has to keep ramping up the rhetoric always, it’s his only tactic. In this case, he appears to be flailing about in an attempt to get the press to cover something, ANYTHING, (http://therightscoop.com/trumpertantrum-firing-up-a-fire-marshal-controversy-to-avoid-questions-about-khan-family/) other than the disastrous Khan family controversy. (http://therightscoop.com/cnn-finally-invites-benghazi-victims-mother-on-just-to-hound-her-to-criticize-trump/) Now he’s saying he saved Ted Cruz’s life when he stepped out after his speech at the GOP convention.

Here’s the video – he says it at the 2 minute mark.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=105&v=H43B8u0cfWo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=105&v=H43B8u0cfWo)

Does he really think his followers were about to storm the stage and tear him limb from limb? And what does that say about his followers? I thought they were all peaceful and it was just the Bernie-lovers who were inspiring violence? Of course, to demand reason and consistency from the Donald is like demanding a cow play a violin concerto from Mozart.

Clearly Cruz seriously got under Trump’s skin because he just can’t let it go and attack Hillary, like he promised he would before the convention… (http://therightscoop.com/trump-i-wont-really-start-campaigning-against-hillary-until-after-the-convention/)

I still have no idea why this incoherent narcissist has even ONE follower!

People!!!   Do you even HEAR what he says??  He's an absolute idiot!!   

Yikes.


(And yes he did imply that his people would have harmed Cruz if he hadn't walked in.  He's nuts).

Post by: musiclady on August 02, 2016, 04:44:17 pm
So let me see if I understand him.  The republican convention was better than the democrat convention because his democrat kids are better than their hollywood democrats?  And because the stage was more attractive?  (The stage that looked like his Casino with TRUMP real big at top in gold lettering.)  And because he saved Cruz and they didn't do anything for Bernie.  And the republicans are unified around hating Cruz now?

OK.  He is entirely unfit for the Presidency.

An incoherent idiot.

Except that he's even afraid to say his name.

I'd think he was comparing Cruz to Voldemort......

Except I know from Trump's own mouth that he doesn't read, so he's probably never even heard of him.   **nononono*

And to some, maybe even many - it is my fault.  They call me a spectrum of unfriendly terms which just drives me further away.  They falsely and grotesquely accuse me of supporting Hillary Clinton which also drives me further away.

@musiclady

I don't think he can read or only able to read simple words he has seen over and over.  His early childhood behavior tells me he likely has a reading disability - Dyslexia.  Add Dyslexia to a Narcissistic Personality Disorder and you have a double whammy - more reason to attack others so he feels better than they are.

He will do the same with other countries leaders as he does with people here - demean them with words and turn countries against us.  I think that leads to World War Three.  No one should vote for an insane person for president.

I have my own theory.

A radio talk show in my area actually suggested (perhaps with tongue in cheek) Trump has cameras following him around so he can air this entire farce as a reality series later. It would explain his manic focus on Ted Cruz.

This makes sense.

I firmly believe still the buzz that he is planning to buy his own media outlet (like Newsmax TV) and part of this is building a completely loyal following. He'll do what he needs to in order to not win (his sandbagging shows this) then, he buys a media outlet and devotes full time to Trump opinion.

He wants to be the next Ted Turner.

I fully agree @Victoria33 .   There is something very dangerous about the kind of insanity that Trump displays.   And it is likely that he has an uncorrected learning disability which has led to his deep insecurity and the need he feels to lash out at anyone who crosses him (i.e. disagrees with him).

I am praying for some kind of Divine intervention before the election.  I truly don't think America survives either a Trump or Clinton presidency.

Well I can't argue with Turner's success, he rode the cable TV wave in. I have to wonder, though, how lucrative outfits like Newsman TV or The Blaze are.

Well, not anymore for me, because I'm an independent (thanks, GOP!)

Because he's running against a presumptive potentate in a pantsuit, I would love to find any reason to vote for the ignorant, blustering buffoon.

But unfortunately: every time he opens his mouth, Trump removes all doubt.

Thanks for bringing that to light, oh mighty Grand Duke Ala Orange.

I need to take care of that.  After registering in 1972 as a Republican and voting that way for many a year, thanks to Trump, I have no party.   I need to call myself what I am.......... unaffiliated.

@musiclady
@CatherineofAragon

Texas doesn't have an actual party registration process.  If you vote in the Democrat primary (or Republican primary), you are then labeled a Democrat (or Republican) until the next primary, then it starts over again according to which party primary you vote.  The only way to not get a label is not vote in either primary, just vote in the general November election. 

So, I am labeled a Republican since I voted in their primary.  I can't change that, but I am not voting for insane Trump.  My vote won't count since Texas is a red, red, state Republican so Trump will get our electoral votes.  It's a good thing I no longer work (volunteer work)  for the state or running a local Republican Party as my Republican County Chair husband and I did.  I also taught Texas Election Law and Election Judges and Clerks around the state of Texas.  I could not keep quiet about insane Trump if I was doing that work now.

I couldn't get past the "I would rather watch Ivanka Trump than any of their celebrities" without saying "Oh my God."    Saying he would rather watch his own daughter, which I bet he has, is kinds creepy. And then not mentioning Melania, until the very end like it was an afterthought.

Personally I would much rather watch Katy Perry. Yes she likes Clinton, but from what I hear so does Ivanka and Melania, and it is only because Donald is running that they are voting for a Republican. But the down ticket? bet you they don't.


And as usual he lied about the convention viewer numbers not comparing apples with apples.  Yes his speech drew a slightly larger audience, but if you noticed what he did using the DNCs lowest night day 2 at 28 mil, against the RNC highest night which was day 4 at 35 mil.  The DNC beet out the RNC over the 4 nights.   


2016 Convention Audiences
The below numbers reflect Nielsen sums of broadcast and cable coverage — as well as PBS stations.

DNC

Night 1 — 28.6 million 


Night 2 — 28 million


Night 3 — 27.3 million 


Night 4 — 33.7 million

 

Four-night DNC average = 29.4 million

 

RNC


Night 1 — 24.8 million


Night 2 — 21.1 million

Night 3 — 24.7 million


Night 4 — 34.9 million

 

Four-night RNC average = 26.4 million
