    so basically his attitude toward other Rep. senators is if you don't support me I'm going to attack and bully you, and I'm gonna F you up more after that.

    Now, we're hoping it is. It takes a special kind of candidate to make that happen.

    He's taking after his hero and resorting to name calling.

    The House GOP held a hearing with FBI Director Comey (also a life-long GOP member) about Clinton's misuse of email today. They also held a meeting with Trump. I am not sure if they are hurting Clinton more or Trump more given the press coming out of these events.

    That's exactly his attitude, well said. And it has been his attitude his entire life.

    Find an instance or a report or a business deal in which he treated anyone as an equal. It's all playground 101: either he perceives he can dominate a situation and bully someone, or he avoids the situation.

    Some people apparently respond to that and want to vote for him.

    He did that to everyone. Remember Megyn Kelley, star of Fox news? All she did was asking some tough questions. The list is long.

    Arizona voters beware, if Trump becomes President, he's gonna screw over your state because of personal beef with your Senator.

    It takes a special kind of candidate to make an anti-Hillary moderate like me think "gee.....maybe Ted Cruz wouldn't have been so bad after all..."

    As an anti-Hillary independent, I can't go there with you no matter how bad Trump is.

    The fact Trump and Cruz were the last two standing proves the national GOP is straight trash.

    Come on man it was days apart. You are arguing just for the sake of it.

    The George Saunders long article in the New Yorker is so worth everyone's time. No side is spared and it's very observant. Supposedly about Trump, it's really about America.

    Not a Trump fan but I will have to admit that his Twitter response to this latest tragedy has been surprising measured and balanced. Maybe Manifort pulled back the reins on him. He doesn't need to be saying anything divisive that will rally protests in Cleveland in a couple of weeks.

    Or someone other than Trump wrote it up for him for once? Not that hard to find sane and non-egomaniacal people on the street.

    Not only is it measured and balanced, it's devoid of any personality, much less Trump's. Obviously, the campaign can't just not say anything at all -- because it'd be saying something to say nothing -- but this statement is the PR-equivalent of saying nothing. I'm sure that's better than Trump putting his foot in his mouth again, but if Trump isn't Trump, what's the point of him running?
