Trump responded saying that he is and has always been strong leader and that, "trust me" (he uses that phrases a lot), they'll do what he says. I would think that response wouldn't sit well at all with most in the military.

    Meanwhile, on MSNBC, O'Donnell was interviewing the NY AG about the Trump University fraud lawsuit against Trump personally. They've got a very strong case and this will likely hurt Trump, it's not too late.
    Wouldn't an order to kill innocent people be an impeachable offense? I guess I'm absolutely stunned that that's even part of his platform and more stunned that people support him.

      I don't think Trump would ever be allowed to serve.

            The 2016 GOP primaries will live in infamy.

            Rubio gets in the gutter with Trump and goes toe to toe with him. Then when Trump starts losing his composure, Cruz finishes him off.

            Cruz looked very good in this debate and Trump totally lost it. He sweated more than Nixon in 60 and stopped looking like the alpha.

            Megyn Kelly played a big part by starting the Trump University questioning and being prepared to nail him on the BBB lie from Trump. Trump led with his chin on that one.
            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                  Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                    After March 15, I think you’ll see it narrow down to one or two contenders opposing Donald Trump and I intend to support one of them,” says Romney, former Republican presidential nomine

                      Palin: If you are a republican against Trump then you are anti-american...

                      Palin defends Trump, attacks Romney on Facebook

                      Sarah Palin told Donald Trump on Thursday not to "take the bait" that Mitt Romney dangled in front of him Thursday by publicly calling Trump a "phony" and a "fraud."


                      In a Facebook post, Palin argued that the Republicans who are against Trump are also against Americans.


                      "The 'machine's' deception and nonsensical attack on Trump isn't really an attack on the candidate, it's an attack on conscientious, hardworking, patriotic Americans who know we need a revolution to stop the complicit politicians who are fundamentally transforming America. We found the revolutionary," she wrote shortly after the conclusion of Romney's speech from the University of Utah. "Donald Trump is the shock the Permanent Political Class needs to wake them up ... to destroy their selfish cabal ... to respect the will of the people ... to make America safe and solvent ... to make America great again."


                      "Don't take the bait, Mr. Trump. It's not about you. It's about us. And we've got your back," concluded Palin, who has officially endorsed Trump.
                      [...]


                      so if I am not a republican but against Trump am I still anti-american?

                              That would be more compelling had Texas not opted for Cruz, instead. Still not smart.

                                Well, at least Texas didn't opt for Drumpf so you need to give us some credit.
