Let's look at this inContext he was answering an accusation made by another presidential candidate who made the reference first Donald was simply defending himself. Donald is not a politician we must keep this in mind he may be just what we need. I for one am sick and tired of people who have Gonda college have never had a real job become a politician get voted office and then do nothing for the remainder of their life yet make more money than I will see you in 10 years. Donald Trump is not a politician he is a businessman they are afraid of him because the first day in office he is going to do what he always does look at the bottom line. He's going to look at Phil programs he's going to look at managers and politicians who are doing their job and he's going to start cutting people out if I were one of the Czars I would be shaking in my boots at the thought of donald taking over because that is the first place he's going to start. Maybe it is time that we have a businessman who has real feelings real emotions and speaks his mind and when threatened or personally attacked a text back.

MSG David Chappell If the Commander is doing their job it will likely be more than 10% to verify this all we have to do is look at the approval/disapproval polls. Making the right decisions doesn't always make one popular. I worry about high popularity in that it leads to a mass direction without anyone looking at where they're really headed. To see how some of this works all we have to do is to look into mob psychology. Look at Ferguson for example I'm saying look at what the mobs did there most of what happened there would not have occurred had it not been for the leadership suggestions of popular leaders who were inciting the masses in the wrong direction. Those leaders left and they were unaffected by the aftermath of burned buildings, destroyed properties, robberies, the expense of calling out the National Guard, the expense of overtime for all the PD involved and Firefighters. We must be careful. I remember clearly being told, just because someone else thinks it's a good idea doesn't make it a good idea. Yes the media drives but let's all take a moment no matter which candidate you like to THINK and look for substance. On your point about Trump not taking donations, that 's not true his web site hosts two donation buttons not one and he has received $7.5 million dollars in donations.

CPT (Join to see) - Donations from individuals not political groups not groups who have political agendas veterans groups yes support groups yes as for your comment on temperance sent you just prove my argument. If you're doing a good job you're not going to be always popular. We have become so politically correct that we're afraid to even mention certain aspects of politicians or criminals. To me Trump is refreshing because he is not confined by political correctness he calls a woman ugly he calls a woman beautiful he calls a politician a criminal and he calls people idiots to their face this is so refreshing to me especially as a soldier. I have never had to be politically correct when doing in intelligence brief to my Commander nor have I ever had to be politically correct when referring to failed policies or plans when I brief the commander. I am a little confused though why would you support a candidate obviously you do not support Trump but why would you support a candidate who embarrassed himself first by referring to the size of Donald's penis or support a candidate who promises everything in the world is going to be free free healthcare free education free ice cream. Here's an interesting question and you do not have to answer this because it would be politically incorrect I was a master sergeant and I did not go in death I did 30 years in uniform and every four years I reenlisted. I did this for two reasons one it reminded me of my obligation as a soldier by reciting my oath in front of the soldiers. Into it reemphasized to me why I was wearing the uniform of my country. My commander would always ask me how I wish to end the oath of enlistment and I always proudly said so help me God. Do you sir have an issue with this being removed for politically correctness? I find it amusing that many groups are free to trump in one of the groups that is afraid of Trump is those that advocate removing the 10 commandments from our places of government or removing the word so help me God from Nowthen list meant why do we have to change our traditions why do we have to be politically correct and why are we so worried about offending other people we are the military it is our job to kill and destroy the enemies of our country isn't that insult enough. Tell me what it is about trump that has you so concerned

MSG David Chappell - "What Trump doesn’t say is that he and his top campaign aide have connections to a super PAC collecting large checks to support his candidacy — a group viewed by people familiar with his campaign as the sanctioned outlet for wealthy donors. The Trump campaign’s links to the low-profile group could undercut the candidate’s posture as the only Republican in the race who has not sought to curry favor with wealthy donors, a central part of his anti-establishment message. Last summer, Trump appeared at at least two events for the Make America Great Again PAC, which took his campaign slogan as its name and received financing from his daughter’s mother-in-law. A consultant for the super PAC is a Republican operative who has previously worked with Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, according to several people with direct knowledge of their ties."

And Hillary's top aid is connected directly to the Muslim brotherhood and she violated national security policy and every candidate has secrets. You're just pointing out what everyone already knew though Trump has it made it a secret

I thought it was Rubio that made the comparison, albeit not so directly. Everyone knows that Trump will come back with guns blazing each and every time someone takes a shot at him. Why are all the other candidates trying to out match crudeness? Take the high road, what will be said it they stick to their campaigns and tell us how they are going to improve their lot.
