Trump: I Could Shoot Someone and Maintain Support 0:53
Donald Trump said Saturday that his supporters are so loyal that he would not lose backers even if he were to shoot someone in the middle of downtown Manhattan.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, okay, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?" Trump said at a rally in Sioux Center, Iowa as the audience laughed. "It's, like, incredible."
Trump has previously boasted about the devotion of his fans, but the new comment is the most extreme example of such a remark.
A recent NBC News/Survey Monkey poll suggested that Trump supporters, once decided, are likely to stay with him. About half of respondents backing the real estate mogul said they were "absolutely certain" that they will vote for Trump.
You post crap like this as if it were important. It's not.
First of all, it would depend on who he shot.

Aside from the absurdity of taking such claims at face value--the FACT is that he isn't doing any such thing, and EVERY candidate makes absurd claims.
Did you honestly just type those words??????????
flan

Of course. If he kills some gang-banger in the middle of committing a crime, I'm not going to care.

If he shoots some terrorist who is planting a bomb--not going to care, either.

Here's a hint: He was being his typical arrogant self.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Why do people keep saying he is a self made man??? His father was worth hundreds of millions of dollars and appointed Donald president of his large real estate company. When Donald went into business on his own, his father handed him millions of dollars in start up money. This is common knowledge. How is that self made?!?!

Oh, and each time it got rough paying the bills, Donald asked for a do-over in the form of bankruptcy. WE built that - the Americsn taxpayers. He didn't do it alone. Ever. Not in the beginning when he used his father's money to get started (don't blame him one bit, but that isn't "self made") and not in the middle when the taxpayers bailed him out.

He has way more money than his father ever had, even taking into account inflation, etc. And bankruptcy is a part of business.

Really? I would think that, if you were successful, you wouldn't have to go that route.

I would love to see this brought up by the media. Trump is perfectly happy to bask in his "image," whether it's the truth or not.

But he isn't self made. Not even a little. When your rich daddy appoints you the president of his very successful company and then gives you the seed money to start your own, and leaves you millions when he dies...that isn't self made. I don't begrudge him those opportunities. I just think it's a far cry from self made.

Self made is someone who did NOT come from money, had to work for every opportunity they got, couldn't use family connections to get prestigious jobs or to start a business but did so anyway and succeeded.

But libs LOVE John Kerrey--who married into it.

George Soros--who swims in it.

Hilary Clinton--who charges universities 200 grand a pop for a speech while calling for student loan "reform" (meaning stiff the banks and don't make anyone pay them back).

BS. You've voiced support for several of the examples I've given on here before, including Hilary.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

First of all, we're talking about Trump here. But as far as all those Dems go that you were listing I think all of them are pretty bad too. Except for Hilliary. She takes the bad cake.

Like MM said Trump is definitely NOT a self made man. And many of his deals have been off the backs of poor people. He has purposely entered into bad deals that he knows will bankrupt people like you and I so that he can make even more money.

Trump misresprents himself all the time. This nice little story about him being for abortion and then seeing a friend change their mind and give birth and then he had an epiphany? No one can find one little piece of evidence to support that. What they can find is that his sister Maryanne Trump Barry is a Senior United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She has fought heavily for partial birth abortions. Trump has openly promised to find her a place in his presidency if he should win. Trump's views on abortion didn't change until he decided to run for president. Then he was told his views would not garner him enough support.

Personally, I don't care how he made his money or what his true views are. I just want honesty. And he has NOT been honest. We've had enough liars in office already.

I really don't get this line of skewed reasoning. Hilliary lied so it's perfectly fine for my candidate to lie. How someone can justify lying is beyond me. If my kids came home and told me they lied about something because other people in their class lied about too I would punish them. I wouldn't reward them for learning how to lie well.

Oh, Hillary does want to be rewarded for lying well all right..

He just said he could shoot somebody on a crowded street, (heavily implying a random person from the crowd, not a terrorist ) and his followers are so blindly loyal /stupid they would still vote for him. He is a liar and bully who openly mocks everyone, even his own supporters. I don't UNDERSTAND.

First, we're not talking about Hilliary. We're talking about Trump. And I will say a thousand times Hilliary doesn't deserve to be president. But if all your candidate needs to measure up to Hilliary's standards that's a pretty piss poor low level to measure up to.

And Trump now wants to be rewarded for lying too. So what's the difference? None.

Well, I have typed out several. I'm sorry that you can't read the ones I've posted. The latest being that no one can find, and Trump can't name, this mysterious friend that ended up not having an abortion. He was pro abortion until the day he decided to run for President. And then he was told to change his stance on abortion. Also, Trump is not a self made man. He inherited millions of dollars. So every time he says he's a self made man is a lie. Those are two.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

People can argue all they want, but the two things Trump has that no other candidate has is his non political background and his shooting from the hip style. All the others can't speak without a pre written speech.

WE said he was a self made man. I dont know what he says. He obviously built a huge empire. As for abortion i know people who have changed their position on it over the years either way. I didnt know you werent allowed to ever develop your positions.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I have found a bunch. But there's really no reason to even post it here because the Trumpeteers are blind to anything negative about him. They just pretend the story isn't real. They remind me of all the sheeple that blindly followed Obama. Now we just have a bunch of sheeple following Trump.

You know what's sad? I thought, at one point, I could vote for him. So I started doing research on him. I wanted see how all my candidate's stacked up. I originally was a huge Carson supporter but knew from the beginning he wouldn't be chosen. So I was smart enough to realize I would have to go with someone else. So I started looking at everyone. I actually thought I could vote for him if the other candidate's started failing. The more I looked the less I liked. But yeah, I actually took responsibility to research. And I read stuff both for and against him btw.

LOL we all think Trump will lose, we've been thinking that for what? a year now? Put his numbers just keep going up. And the reason is people are tired of our political system and want someone to break the cycle. Trump sure has his skeletons, but it appears people don't care about those. Numbers, true numbers, don't lie.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I won't vote for him. Doesn't matter who it comes down to. And I'm tired of posting stuff about him, and I have posted sever links, and people just tell me they're fake. Why should I keep posting links so people can tell me they're fake? That's just dumb. Yes, his numbers are rising. Sure, he has a great chance of becoming president. But I keep hearing everyone say Dems lie and that's so bad and it's so horrible and some of the things the Dems have done are so bad. All I'm saying is Trump has done his fair share of crappy things. If you don't mind overlooking them then fine. Overlook them and vote for him. I won't.
