What a classy guy

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has mocked Hillary Clinton for apparently taking a toilet break during a televised Democratic debate.
"I know where she went. It's disgusting," he said to supporters at a rally in Michigan.
The former secretary of state returned to the stage late after an advert break during Saturday's debate with her party rivals for the presidential nomination.

Mr Trump also said Mrs Clinton had been "schlonged" by Barack Obama in 2008.
Using a vulgar Yiddish term that means a man's penis, he was referring to Mrs Clinton's defeat to the then senator in the primary contests that year.
"Even her race to Obama. She was going to beat Obama. I don't know who'd be worse. I don't know. How does it get worse?
"She was favoured to win and she got schlonged, she lost."

Mrs Clinton's spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, tweeted: "We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher"

It is not the first time Mr Trump has referred to women in a controversial way.
In August, he implied that he received tough questions from Fox News debate host Megyn Kelly because she was menstruating.

It would be better for my mood if Mr. Trump were entertaining me with his misogyny and his xenophobia, but he is not. He is capable of getting under my skin. I really resent what he said about Secretary Clinton and also about the other women mentioned above and many other women who have not been mentioned in this thread but whom he has impugned over the years. That he is ridiculous and disgusting and can easily be made the butt of of a good joke does not make him palatable to me. I see him as representing ideas which are harmful to vulnerable elements of society. In the words of George W. Bush, I see him as an evil-doer.

Perfectly, perfectly said.

This is his way of letting people know that he never has to go to the bathroom.

Well, that explains why he's full of shit.

According to poll results THIS is the best person the right can find.

DF, if Trump and Clinton were the candidates would you still vote for Trump after all the caca he's smeared over America?

So if the two candidates are Trump and Hillary would you vote for Hillary, or stay home?

IMO the last good president was FDR.

Every once since has, willingly or not, been the bitches of the military industrial complex, just as Eisenhower warned us.

We no longer have a democracy.
A few zillionaires install the US government and control it.

We need a constitutional amendment to take campaign contributions out of the political process.

WHY IS IT THAT LOW!!

What is WRONG with 1/2 the population. It should be 80% at LEAST!

I almost linked another article to this thread last night and I am glad I did not. By waiting, I got an even better one. This one is a by-line by Frank Bruni entitled, "Blood, Sweat, and Trump". After posting the link I will quote some of it. As I said above, Although I take the threat of Donald Trump seriously, the way he can be skewered by intelligent critics can be funny.

Link to article...http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/23/opinion/blood-sweat-and-trump.html?ribbon-ad-idx=6&rref=opinion&module=Ribbon&version=context&region=Header&action=click&contentCollection=Opinion&pgtype=article&_r=0

"On Monday he said this of Hillary Clinton’s mid-debate bathroom break: 'I know where she went. It’s disgusting. I don’t want to talk about it. No, it’s too disgusting.'

He didn’t specify why. But it’s difficult to find anything indecorous about Clinton’s behavior unless you see it as entirely volitional and utterly controllable — something you do to indulge yourself, something that can be put off for hours or forever, an emblem of your weakness. I guess in Trump’s world, only 'low energy' people need to go.

That would make sense, given how fantastical his cosmos is. It’s a place where thousands of Muslims in New Jersey publicly cheer the fall of the World Trade Center; where a stretch of the Potomac River alongside a Virginia golf club of his magically becomes a Civil War site; where his own net worth changes by an order of billions from one moment to the next, in accordance with his need to puff up his chest.

Why wouldn’t it also be a place where people relieve themselves only if they’re losers and they’re intent on a messiness that they can avoid? Maybe Trump really doesn’t pee. Maybe he outsources that to a Mexican immigrant in his employ.

You have to hand it to him: He divines character flaws where no one else could or would. Through his warped lens, there’s shame in John McCain’s imprisonment in Vietnam, horror in Clinton’s use of a toilet, dysfunction in each bead of Marco Rubio’s sweat.

Those last two items underscore his bizarre obsession with, and objection to, body fluids. In early November, Daniel Lippman of Politico noted that Trump had 'remarked on Rubio’s perspiration at least eight times in the last seven weeks.' On two of those occasions, Trump suggested that sweating would put Rubio at a disadvantage in negotiations with Vladimir Putin, who would find him too soggy.

The fluids of women in particular rattle Trump. When a lawyer who was questioning him during a 2011 deposition asked for a break so that she could leave the room and pump breast milk for her 3-month-old daughter, he was unhinged.

'You’re disgusting,' he berated her, according to a story in The Times earlier this year by Michael Barbaro and Steve Eder. Then he stormed out of the deposition.

More famously, he reflected on Megyn Kelly’s interrogation of him at the first Republican presidential debate by saying that 'you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.'

Clinton’s bathroom break — or, more precisely, Trump’s revulsion toward it — lies at the intersection of his misogyny and his fastidiousness. He’s a germophobe who once labeled himself 'a clean hands freak,' called handshakes a 'terrible custom' and said that the obligation to engage in them was one of the great curses of celebrity like his.


Even so, a kidney doctor I know was baffled by his latest outburst.
'Urine is sterile,' Maya Rao, an assistant professor of nephrology at Columbia University, pointed out. 'It’s not "disgusting." Wow. I literally feel like I’m dealing with an elementary-school child and we’re talking about cooties.'

...​

This, ladies and gentlemen, is your Republican front-runner. It’s probably too late to teach him manners, but maybe not to teach him biology: When you imbibe fluids, you excrete fluids, sometimes through sweat, often through urine. "

That means according to a poll that day 50% of All Americans would not be embarrassed to have Trump as President.
I'm a "the glass is half full" kind of person.
Being positive is good, right?

Depends what's in that glass.
What about: 50% of all Americans have not murdered someone?
I would't refer to that glass as half-full.

You have to wonder about the 50% who would not be embarrassed by Trump as Prez. Who ARE these people?

The 50% of PS that is laying low and staying silent regarding Trump.
After reading PS over 10 years I'm certain there are several here who will vote for Trump.

I'm scared. My nightmare is that he and Ted Cruz who is certifiable get the nomination and the religious wackos who support people like Kim Davis start voting because they do not want a women in the WH. As much as I HATE how Hillary cheerfully slimed all those women who had the extreme bad taste to boink her husband, the alternative is way to dangerous. For ALL of us.

I'd venture a guess that DF and I (and the MIA beebrisk) are the most conservative PSers . . . or maybe we're just the only ones willing to out ourselves . . . and I don't know anyone here dumb enough to vote for Trump. His running should have been received by the public as a big fat joke, and he should already be in a corner licking his wounds and hate tweeting Rosie O'Donnell. As assclowns go, they don't come any bigger.

I can't believe he is even a serious candidate.... I also have never gotten why voting is not compulsory like it is here.
