    The Trump defenders here have the strategy all wrong. He is going with the anti-candidate strategy, Opposite George. He is going to do everything opposite of what a traditional candidate would do. There is no way a republican can beat a democrat in a traditional race so he's going unconventional with nothing to lose.

    Trump supporters should be saying "yeah he said that" and crank up the batshait insane to 11.

    I don't know the definition of pud whacker, but if I looked in the dictionary... I wouldn't be surprised to see Ted Cruz mentioned in some form or fashion.

    NATO doesn't work when mutual defense isn't automatic.

    But, I can't vote against Trump any harder than I already intend to do.

    Please tell me you have a punch bowl ready to use when Trump loses in November. I hear the Jonestown flavor is to die for.

    This NATO posture of Trump's is extremely dangerous.

    It's f***ing stupid. All the chickenhawks here would be having an aneurysm if Obama said anything remotely like this.

    It's just vague enough to give Russia hope that invading those countries might pay off, but not to ensure that the USA won't get involved. The most important thing in foreign policy is to make clear exactly where your boundaries are.

    Saddam started the first gulf war precisely because of crap like this - he probed the US, and the response was wishy washy enough that he thought that they were hinting that they wouldn't protect Kuwait.

    This is the kind of **** that could start WWIII. No hyperbole.

    Either throw them to the Russians (not in favor of this but it's better than waffling) or make clear that you will protect them. Wars start because leaders miscalculate how the other side will respond.

    I'm gathering a list of things the media has fabricated to diminished Trump's campaign.

    Let me guess: you know they are fabricated because of some stuff you found in the media?

    You know what the media is right?

    Do you claim to have knowledge of Trump's campaign that you did not get from the media?

    This should be interesting.

    Are you starting with the direct quotes?

    I applaud RocketsLegend. It is about time someone kept an eye on the crafty media.

    An excellent post, Ottomaton! Trump is a blithering idiot, and a dangerous one.
