‘Trumpanswering’ Questions – an experiment
One of the things Donald Trump gets away with is never answering questions. What he does instead is lay down some ‘Trumpanswer’ and move along. So I decided to try it.
The Boy: What’s for dinner?
Me: Dinner is going to be fantastic. You’ll love it.
The Wife: Did you mail that check for the insurance?
Me: Look. I know people. They say the check mailing is excellent. It is amazing. You are going to be really thrilled with my check mailing.
The Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: I’ve heard that, but what I want to know is why nobody is taking care of the veterans. Its an embarrassment.
This is perfect. And our press lets him get away with it.
Did you see Trump’s question and answer segment last night?
And there you go!
He’s just being a cautious politician. Refusing to declare all Muslims the enemy cost McCain the support of most of his own party back in ’08.
Obama: “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”
Jonathan Gruber: “Well that’s pretty much the same thing, why’s it matter? You’ll see. And they were both in and that passed, because the American voter is too stupid to understand the difference.” His comment about the wording of Obamcare.
Jason it happens on both sides.
That’s the funniest and most ridiculous false equivalence I’ve seen in quite a while. I love how you think you made a point. Seeing you flop around like a fish on a boat’s deck gasping for air is oddly pleasing…
Gruber’s remark was impolitic, but accurate.
I will no longer call him Donald Trump. He is now a genocidal fascist tyrant. I shall call him Donald Hitler.
Latest national poll shows Carly tied with the Donald at 22 percent. Can you imagine who could have predicted that?
Absurd.
Carly will be very easy to beat.
You know… if Carly really wanted to get rid of Planned Parenthood she could simply apply for the position of their CEO. That would do it.
ZING!
And so well Hillary, DD!
The Clintons houses, after “struggling to make ends meet, after Bill’s Presidency”
$1.7 million mansion in Chappaqua, NY so Hillary could claim residence in the state ahead of her 2000 Senate campaign.
$2.85 million mansion on Embassy Row in Washington D.C. The home has 5 bedrooms and 6 baths.
211 Lily Pond Lane, is on the market for $32.5 million, Clinton’s summer home in the Hamptons.
To beat Hillary Clinton (or any Democrat that wins the nomination), the Republicans will have to run someone who appeals to at least a handful of non-Republicans. They don’t appear to be willing to do that.
Obama has yet to come out and deny he’s a Muslim so why should Trump correct an audience member.
And even if he is who would care on the Left side…
If you believe Obama is a Muslim then explain your Reverend Wright hysteria.
And I wouldn’t care. We don’t have a religious test in this country. It’s in that document you guys pretend to love, but really hate and keep trying to destroy.
I love how Republicans are still running against Obama. Surely they will beat him this time.
Tom Kline has yet to deny that he is sexually attracted to goats. So….?
Jason, you have written some from thought provoking articles. You’ve brought up some very valid points in some of your debates.
So, why lower yourself and go on a personal attack on Tom.

You clearly haven’t spent much time here. This is not, and never has been, a gentle playground. And the people who stay here know that.
Jason is yet to deny he is sexually attracted to goats, also.
3. No Vile bigoted statements
“We are talking about racial, homophobic, sexist, ethnic, and anti-semitic slurs. We are not talking about profanity or profane name calling. Calling someone an “asshole” is ok. Calling someone a “fag” is not.”
I think beastiality fits within the above guidelines, as well as calling someone Hitler.
I just think that is wrong, IMHO.
Respectfully.
Anonymous, you don’t get to set the rules. If you want to set them start your own blog. Our house, our rules.
And you can drop this veneer of civility. I find a lot of what you write offensive and incredibly uninformed. Guess that counts as name calling in your book.
And before you start calling us out (on our flippin’ blog) you might want to spend more time getting to know the players here.
Jason made a point with his comment to Tom. If that sailed over your head (sorta like my comment about your mortgage) then that really is your problem.
No one puts Jason in a corner!
I think that someone got Anonymous’ goat.
I’m so over the “civility for thee, but not for me” argument.
Anon, I was pointing out how utterly fallacious Kline’s argument was. ( BTW – fallacious means false. Based on faulty reasoning. ) I was also using sarcasm. You see, I don’t believe he is attracted to goats. And I don’t believe not denying it means that he might be.
But jason last night you said you had photos of Tom and the goats …
Lol. There is that James O’Keffe video.
Anonymous thinks he’s right because of his “both sides do it” BS. Dorian called him out on that. His “moderate” street cred is BS as well. I’m so over this crap.
@ Pandora, the rules I quoted were not mine, but the rules of DL’s blog.
You find what I write offensive. I don’t denigrate, call anyone an idiot or use foul language. I also stated that it was just my humble opinion. Everyone has a right to state their opinion, right?
You are an idiot.
See? That’s within the rules.
And you do have a right to state your opinion, what you don’t have is the right to state it without criticism. See how that works?
Pick a name, CrackerJack. Do you want to post as CrackerJack or RobberBaron? The rules, which anonymous is so concerned about, are quite clear about sock puppetry.
And you also might want to bring an actual argument. I know, that’s hard… like math and science.
4. Stay On Topic, Per DL rules.
We’re really on the edge now, Pandora. And if I could use the quote of a very respected person. “I’m so over this crap.”
Have a great Weekend!!
