Some thoughtsâŠ
- Iâm done predicting what will do Donald Trump in. His base loves him and Iâm to the point of thinking he can do almost anything short of murder on stage and theyâll eat it up.
- That said I think his antics â Iâm not sure what happened between the debate where he was pretty self-controlled and this event â has capped his support. Iowans donât much care for personal attacks, and what Trump had to say was pretty personal. Criticizing issues, positions and record is fine, but Trump crossed a line.
- Before Trump calls people stupid perhaps he needs to make sure he knows what pathological means because itâs obvious he doesnât know.
- Trumpâs discounted Carsonâs transformation, âHe goes into the bathroom for a couple of hours, and he comes out, and now heâs religious. And the people of Iowa believe him. Give me a break. Give me a break. It doesnât happen that way. It doesnât happen that way,â Trump said. So apparently Donald Trump is an expert now on spiritual transformation? He apparently doesnât understand how radically God can change a heart. Considering heâs never asked God for forgiveness itâs likely heâs never experienced it.
- When discussing Ben Carsonâs growing popularity in Iowa he asked âhow stupid are the people of Iowa? How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?â Trump provides a great lesson here on how not to expand his base.
