Republican presidential candidate and noted abortion flip-flopper (http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/trump-s-flip-flop-on-abortion-20110215) Donald Trump has yet to make a statement on a pair of sting videos (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/second-planned-parenthood-video) that allege Planned Parenthood affiliates are selling tissue from aborted fetuses for profit.

His silence on the issue enraged conservative commentators and right-leaning political observers on two levels. On one hand, they blasted the mainstream media for conveniently glomming onto the latest Trump sound bite instead of substantively covering the sting videos. On the other hand, they suggested the real estate mogul was missing an opportunity to use his high profile to draw further attention to the Planned Parenthood controversy.

Rush Limbaugh complained a week ago, just a day after an anti-abortion group called The Center for Medical Progress released its first, edited undercover video (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/fivepoints/planned-parenthood-tissue-video), about all the air Trump was sucking out of the media.

"We're in a mess here. The Iranian deal's over here, this Planned Parenthood butchery, and we're talking Trump all day on CNN," Limbaugh said on his radio show, according to a transcript (http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/07/15/we_cannot_ignore_the_sickening_evil_depravity_of_p lanned_parenthood). "It's a way to not cover some of the really horrible things that are happening in this country and replace them with the bashing of Donald Trump, which I think has a subliminal effect of blaming Trump for it."

A couple days before, Trump had flatly dismissed (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/second-planned-parenthood-video) Rep. Carlos Curbelo's (R-FL) speculation that Democrats planted him as a candidate to sow discord within the GOP presidential field. But the real estate mogul continued to rile up his fellow candidates (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/gop-presidential-contenders-slam-trump-s-comments-about-john-mccain) Saturday at a confab for social conservatives in Iowa.

ah-ha! The old-reliable liberal pretending to be a conservative....always good when a conservative embarrasses the party. Maybe Trump is really a covert member of the militant a PTA splinter group....trying to infiltrate the NRA for nefarious purposes.

You're a classic example of a Trump supporter who will defend literally ANYTHING he does or says.

This is precisely why his latest classless escapade won't cost him a thing in the polls.

Heck, anyone over the age of 45 had a Motorola brick. I actually used mine for a couple of years after the little digital phones came out. The signal was amazing comparatively at the time, and they were indestructible.

Had this client who once rolled his Porsche. He got out before it went up in flames. Still had this crumpled up half melted brick on his desk for show purposes .. and the damned thing still worked! :cool:

Lindsey Graham called Trump a jackass.

Maybe libs will learn - and Lindsey is a moderate establishment republican lib - not to mess with Trump.

Because he will hit them where it hurts.

I can see trump on the debate stage with the Cookie Lady.

She won her first senate campaign in New York in part during a debate when the republican weenie walked from his podium to hers with a piece of paper.

I forget what the paper said but it was obviously a stunt.

Afterwards the democrats including the lib media practically ran the repub out of the state for "attacking" the woman.

He apologized.

He groveled.

Slashed his wrists and whipped his back but his campaign was over.

Trump wouldn't do that.

Bill's Coattails would get the Rosie O'Donnell treatment cause Trump wouldn't back down.

He might not win any new voters in lib la la land but he would not disappoint his supporters either.

I think moderate establishment inside Washington repubs and socialist demorats are in for a wild ride for the foreseeable future.

I might have this mixed up, but I understand one of the GOP candidates (I'm pretty sure it's Graham) has never sent one single email in his entire life.

He's been a U.S. senator for 12 years, and was a Congressman for eight more before that, but South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham says he has never sent an email.
In a discussion on NBC's Meet the Press (http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/sen-feinstein-clinton-emails-silence-going-hurt-her-n319491) about the controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton's use of a home-based email server while she was secretary of state, moderator Chuck Todd asked Graham, "Do you have a private e-mail address?"
Graham's answer: "I don't email. No, you can have every email I've ever sent. I've never sent one."

That should automatically disqualify him from serving in office.

In fact, he should be deported to Mexico - trade him for a Mexican goat farmer who at least knows how to send email.

Trump cannot govern a nation. Unless he changes the US to a monarchy and declares himself King Smaug. All hes doing is cherry picking topics that divide us, and pouring gas on them. He has yet to offer viable political solutions to anything.

We've had a long line of 'lawyer politicians' seated in the Oval Office, and the economy is stagnant at best, our foreign policy is a joke and our borders have more holes in them than swiss cheese. Trump if nothing else is a phenomenal businessman, with great business savvy. If he can't get this nation's economy functioning properly again, nobody will. His bravado is a bit overwhelming, but it may be just what we need to set our enemies straight. Nobody messes with the bully. Presidents surround themselves with advisors, Trump will be no different. Personally, with what I've seen this past week, I'd like to see a ticket of Trump/Carson. Dr. Carson's calming demeanor and super intelligence combined with Trump's aggressive 'take no BS' style may get the US back on top, with both domestic and foreign policy.

President Urkle has us on our knees making deals with scum, the scum that held our hostages until Reagan read them the riot act and got them freed. Iran, who vowed to blow Israel off the map, Iran who never honered any deal in the past, Iran who has admitted they despise our Western way of life, and the prez wants America to support that insanity. Trump dividing us? That's funny. No one has divided this nation more than Obama.

Nothing Trump can do will rise to the level of the crazy policies of Obama.

Highlighting the flood of illegal aliens is not a cherry picked issue.

Its an issue front and center with the American people.
