    I think the point is to try to guage whether, even in hindsight, would he still say the war needed to happen (since he's always talking about bombing the shit out of everybody). of course he's backpeddling. that's all he knows how to do.

    unless he's talking about Rosie O'Donnell.
    If that's it, it's a terrible point. It wasn't even a strong or detailed statement in the first place. Plus he has clarified his viewpoint since then a lot of times. I think it's become an irrelevant talking point now. If I see any more members of the media ask him about it again, I'm going to just assume they are trying to irritate him (and it will probably work). Perhaps that is why people keep bringing it up? Just to get under his skin and see if he can maintain his composure?? Because at this point that's the most relevant thing the question/comment accomplishes.

    Haha, yes, he certainly hangs tough when it comes to Rosie O'Donnell, lmao. TBH, I can't stand her either. But I don't understand his apparently uncontrollable need to continue going off about how awful she is. She's a fucking talk show host. Who gives a shit?

    If he was smarter and had a manageable ego he would say just that...
    "What difference does it make? I was just a regular citizen who did not have access to the information needed to make such a difficult decision. The burden of that decision lies with the government officials who made it."
    But, no, his ego can't handle the admission of being wrong about anything ever. His campaign, his life, is based on the ridiculous notion that he is right about everything, all the time.

    Wow, I reread that and realized Trump isn't capable of making a statement that good. He certainly never has in his campaign.
    What an embarrassment he is to our nation.
    Honestly, shouldn't the ability to create and deliver a proper sentence be a requirement for POTUS??
    Yeah, the "What difference does it make" and then a redirection to Hillary's support for the invasion would seem like the more logical tactic...cannot believe one of these asshats will soon hold our highest office.

    I'm okay with stiffing a few lousy subcontractors from time to time, and accenting your bathroom in gold with the proceeds, it's business, works both ways, I get stiffed you get stiffed. Now speaking of stiffing, I'm not okay with turning Lincoln's bedroom into a red light room nor am I okay with stealing white house furniture and wall decor. Who does that?

    Is this a serious statement, or tongue in cheek?

    I think it's relevant. if the guy wants to talk about starting wars willy nilly, it makes sense to ask him about one that was started previously and, most everyone believes now, that it was a mistake.

    I hope you aren't justifying stiffing subcontractors. That's a dirty ass thing to do and goes against business ethics and general morality. Small businesses have little leverage so there's nothing they can really do, which makes it all that much worse.

    Yeah, but he also believes that it was a mistake (so he says, and has for a really long time). Don't forget that the government was lying about certain things when the Iraq war began, and that people were still raw about 9/11. I just don't think bringing this up matters anymore. If he STILL maintained that he supported it, yeah, that would be fucked. But he has literally never made that claim since that one time in 2002 right when it was starting. He's answered the question a million times. Why keep asking?? It's not like he's going to say anything new. For me the denial that he ever said it at all means WAY more than him saying it in the first place does.

    Pretty funny article by Bruni. But if it isn't, don't blame me. I didn't write it. It's not my fault. Unless you like it....then you're welcome.

    Surely even Trump isn't fucked up enough to think that making a big issue of Bill Clinton's infidelities is a good idea given his own marriage infidelities? http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/28/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-debate.html?emc=edit_th_20160928&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=36548795&_r=0

    Holy fuck, this guy is too much. How do Trump supporters feel about the way he reacts when he doesn't do well in a debate? Honest question. Wondering if the petulant blame game seems legit to you.

    They're hoping he goes there. People generally feel sorry for her when these things get brought up. That's why her favorability ratings were so high during the impeachment nonsense....

    Its actually embarrassing being an American that Trump is a candidate for President. And even more embarrassing that people are actually gonna vote for this fucking idiot.

    FFS, the two aren't even close to comparable no matter how much you may dislike Trudeau. Hey, I absolutely DESPISED Harper and a lot of the shit he did made me sick to my stomach; the man made the fucking atoms feel oppressive in Canada as far as I'm concerned. But I'm not about make myself look completely bitter by trying to suggest that Harper and Trump are comparable in any way, shape, or form.

    I don't think trump should go after the marriage infidelities but I think the rape and sexual harassment allegations are a different story, especially since Hilliary is bringing the trumps treatment of women into the conversation.

    I don't dislike Trudeau I just happen to think he is an empty suit....a man of no substance. Good looking, nice smile, but no "there" there. When it comes to policy he and Trudeau are at the same level of "depth" which just ain't much. At least Trump had a career of doing things prior to running for office. Trudeau was a good looking kid who gave a great eulogy...that was it. Our country elected a Canadian Idol candidate. It is embarrassing.

    Saying that he admired Chinese dictatorship was pretty embarrassing. That's the kind of stupid shit Trump says about Russia. He may have raised our stock amongst the global liberal elite but he sure hasn't amongst those who nations who wish to take advantage of western weakness.

    Ok, yeah, I remember that, and that was probably not the best thing he could have said. However, he was talking about their economy, not the dictatorship itself.

    Saying he is of no substance really isn't true. I find that it quite unfortunate about his good looks; it's just another weak way to trivialize his ability to govern. I think he has done quite a bit so far, and his tenure is still in its infancy. To hard nosed conservatives, I could most of the issues he has tackl d so far as "soft" or 'unnecessary" mainly because most of them are social causes. But it is exactly what a lot of people missed about Canada for the last decade.

    Anyway, back to drumpf.
