Donald Trump’s campaign leaps over one taste line after another. Now his campaign manager has been formally charged by the police with physically assaulting a reporter during a rally. Trump promises to stand by his employee. What next for this crazy campaign, in which his supporters will forgive anything?

…Surely you’ve seen the video? He harmlessly pushes past her. That’s it. And she just stands there. She isn’t knocked back or down or anything.
We’ve reached a new low yet again. A woman’s hysteria is now taken so seriously that clear contradictory video evidence is considered irrelevant.
If video won’t save a man anymore from false accusations, then I doubt SMS will still work.
The rate of frame misses the incident. Focus on trump’s goon.
I’ll allow for the possibility but remain skeptical. Seems TPTB are grasping for straws against Trump.
And I’ll add that in my experience, women can bruise over nothing. I pinched one girl, and she got a huge bruise. I lightly grabbed another’s arm. Same result. You’d have thought I had beaten them, and if they were terrible people they could’ve gotten away with claiming so.
In any case, I inhabit the real world where women looove drama and attention and often grossly exaggerate.
The real world in which no one would be talking about this if a woman had done it to a man. Or if we were, the conversation would be about how he must’ve deserved it.
Ah yes, those “hysterical” women, driven to madness lies by their lady plumbing. She then clutched at herself to cause some photogenic bruising in her quest for attention. How did she ever figure out that this would be so damaging to Trump’s campaign with her tiny lady brain? She must’ve been coached by a big handed man.
At least a Donald T. Rump presidency would be a constant source of amusement. (Best observed from a safe distance, New Zealand perhaps)
If that snake really would eat – and metabolise ! – Rafael Edward Cruz, I’d certainly vote for it (if I but had the franchise !), in the even it were qualified under Section 1, Article II of the US Constitution ; i e were a natural-born citizen of that country, had attained the age of 35 years, and had resided there for a minimum of 14 years….
