Listen to his call-in to “Fox and Friends” where he made this comment. I’ve heard no implication that he was being hyperbolic.

hmm, I think most have noticed Trump frequently uses some hyperbole in his statements.

I really can’t think most “normal” people demean others to make themselves feel important, or use vulgar language and innuendos, or constantly tell us how wealthy they are, or what a great company they have built, etc. The others with their (as you call them) canned speeches at least know what they believe. They mostly say the same thing each time and not shoot from the hip like Trump. If that appeals to you, be my guest.

Again, listen to it and explain why one should assume he was being hyperbolic.
Or should we now assume that anything and everything he says is hyperbolic? That would actually explain just about everything that comes out of his mouth, including his references to his own genius.

You may not do that but others do talk differently in life and they are not bad people.some are more cultured while others are more blunt and still others are a little crass. There are all sorts of people in real life and despite the way they talk many are good people.

Whether you disavow Glenn beck is of no significance. Trump has been hounded for days on end even after he has disavowed David duke whom he doesn’t even know personally. Here comes Glenn beck, cruz’s BFF, who is practically a lunatic. I don’t even care what cruz says, but I am aware of the part the media plays in all this: they won’t go after cruz and ask him to disavow beck.
All fire is trained on trump all the time.

Ha, but morally speaking he was opportunistic as he was a little slow and intentional not to cut loose the white creeps. I suppose all is fair in love and war as Obama is the same with his creeps.

How many people do you know that you would consider good friends, but you also think they would not make good Presidents? You might gladly accept their support, while not wanting to give them your support, and in fact, if you thought strongly that they would be a terrible President, you might feel a need to speak out.
The comment, Sir Mitt Romney, is beneath you. The truth is, Trump has lowered the discourse during this campaign and the overall discourse in this country over the years has sunk into the mud. That is why, when someone like Romney speaks like a mature adult, it no longer sounds right to many people–they have forgotten what its like to hear a calm and rational approach. And, before you bring up Rubio, I would agree that what he has done lately is wrong, and I am already considering retracting my support of him. I don’t think the way Trump has insulted so many people is right, nor do I think Rubio’s childish insults are right and he did not do himself any good. That behavior, from both men, is not fit for the Oval Office, imo.
Ask yourself a question–would the Lord have us disagree in a calm and rational manner, or would He have us slamming each other with insults and debased comments?

I will agree it was a slip. Exactly why I don’t know. But he had disavowed KKK multiple times before that one show so it was blown way out of proportion.

No offense, it’s taken for granted any decent people would disavow a vile talk like beck’s. I was trying to point out the role of the media in how they choose to go after someone.

I supported Romney. I thought he was a good candidate and a gentleman. I no longer believe he is a gentleman. Like many others I feel betrayed by him. I feel that his good manners and nice demeanor are only pretension that don’t mean much any more.

Well surely we can deduce he was well aware of the escapades of while racists and yes it was a slip I agree, BUT, surely one would have come to some moral conclusion about that way of life and should have spoke clear. But again I don’t see that with Obama either. But two wrongs never equate to right? Maybe what they are all in a philosophical way telling us is we are all prejudice.

No offense to the OP but yawn I’m bored with Romney. His 15 minutes are up.

I really don’t know what happened. It could be the ear piece. It could be him being opportunistic. It could be he was having a senior moment as another has mentioned. It could be he was asked the question so many times already he wanted to sound different this time. I dont know. But I do know he had disavowed the group multiple times prior. So the media is trying to milk it way too much.Well surely we can deduce he was well aware of the escapades of while racists and yes it was a slip I agree, BUT, surely one would have come to some moral conclusion about that way of life and should have spoke clear.

None taken – I’m just glad this *thread *didn’t last 15 minutes.
(Well, that plus the fact that posters are calling Romney by name and not “an establishment figure” or something like that to make him seem like a drone. )

Vanity of vanity said the preacher, all in life is vanity. Yes he wanted to sound different and hit the media attention note which he appears to be on often, is that winning or some form of self loathing? I don’t know, but its concerning?
