He said he hadn't decided what the punishment should be yet.

How 'bout 'cliterectomy'?

Fit the punishment to the crime!
How about having to have dinner with themadpooper or Flavius?

I've got to the point that if I turn the channel and see his self-satisfied mug, I have to instantly move on, in order to preserve my sanity and maintain a decent blood pressure level. His connection to reality grows ever slimmer. "Make American great again"? More like take American back to the Dark Ages.

It's a cry for help. He desperately wants people to stop voting for him, and is saying anything he can think of to make it happen. But the votes keep coming.

In Donaldom America, after it's finally been made "great again" (like never before), there won't be a constitution.

It was a little off putting to hear Trump asked if he would ever nuke Europe and hear him not rule it out!

What, no comments about Trump's Geneva Convention statements?!?!?

Trump calls Geneva Conventions 'the problem' - POLITICO

“The problem is we have the Geneva Conventions, all sorts of rules and regulations, so the soldiers are afraid to fight”

What seems so silly about this line of thinking is, what about 'our guys' ... you may not like the Geneva Conventions when they restrict what 'we can do to them', but what about what 'they can do to us'?

I can't believe he said that.

Trump doesn't have the reasoning skills to deduce that.

His flipflopping on abortion certainly points to that, it's like he is trying to piss off everyone right when he has the nomination in the bag.

With his abortion comments, he's trying to take votes from Ted Cruz.

If you take the "abortion is murder!" argument to its logical conclusion, then Trump is (or, I should say, was for a few minutes) absolutely right. Which should make it obvious that the abortion=murder claim is so absurd that not even the pro-lifers actually believe it themselves. It's essentially a marketing slogan that sounds good in a soundbite that is intended to sell a product but ultimately makes no sense at all.

I've just looked at the video of where he said it, and I don't think he was that smart. It just looked like Chris Matthews wouldn't let him dodge the question and he didn't know what his answer should be, so he said yes, and then later "clarified" that he didn't really mean it.

It's just like everything else with Trump his positions are all vapid talking points just to try and win votes. When someone actually makes him answer questions about the implications of his positions he just shows he hasn't thought anything through.

It's about time someone actually held Trump's feet to the fire about some of his positions. I hope it continues.

What was Trump doing there is the more interesting question.
