Trump and allies digging into attacks on beauty queen


Donald Trump and his allies are refusing to let up on their attacks on former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, with Newt Gingrich shaming her for gaining weight during her reign and Corey Lewandowski suggesting she’s an attempted murderer……………

…………Gingrich, a former House speaker and top Trump surrogate, echoed Trump’s attack line during a dinner address to the Log Cabin Republicans in Washington on Wednesday. ……….“You’re not supposed to gain 60 pounds during the year that you’re Miss Universe,” Gingrich said, eliciting laughter from the room of Republicans…………

“You got to be kidding me,” Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri tweeted in response to Gingrich’s comment. “I am sorry, I can't get past this. Newt Gingrich is criticizing someone for their weight.”...........

......The attacks didn’t stop at the dinner table, though. Lewandowski, a former Trump campaign manager who still has ties to the campaign and contributes regularly to CNN, launched a new attack during the breakfast hour Thursday, resurfacing a decades-old allegation that Machado was involved in an attempted murder in Venezuela.

These clowns are playing with fire and do not have a clue......

Is Donald “Sniffles” Trump to be the next Bill Cosby of politics?

My money is on YES
 
The forums were a lot nicer without you posting all this spam on here.
 
So now you're saying Trump is a Serial Rapist?

He probably doesn't know what he is saying. His post is so disjointed it would take MI6 and a decoder ring to figure it out.

How is what Gingrich said shaming?

“You’re not supposed to gain 60 pounds during the year that you’re Miss Universe,”

You're a man so you would have a hard time understanding what is going on here............

I think he has a very clear understanding of what is going on here.

A beauty queen gaining 60 lbs. during her "reign" is like an NFL tailback under contract gaining 60 lbs. of fat and running a 6.8 40 yd.

There are some "jobs" that require people to perform to a certain physical standard.

If you don't want to uphold the standard, don't take the job.

There's nothing wrong with the average housewife letting herself go, putting on 60 lbs, and lumbering through the cookie aisle like a zombie.

But when your "career" is predicated on maintaining a certain standard it stands to reason that the people who pay you or have a vested financial interest in you holding a position are going to be less than thrilled when you fail to uphold that standard.
 
It's not the fact that she gained weight...it how he treated her for doing so.
 
Trump needs to double and triple down on this. He needs to attack that women without mercy or let up every day for the next several weeks.

This should be the centerpiece of his campaign until further notice.

Another one who does not understand the political ramifications of the Trump "bully" trash talk
 
Let's say I have a better understandings of the sensitivity of a woman from first hand experience............I have 3 daughters
And you automatically assume that the people you are discussing this with don't have daughters? Lot's of men have daughters. I have a daughter. Wife, too. And a mother to boot.

That must mean I am endowed with some kind of super cosmic wisdom or something. AWESOME!!:D

My wife, a South American Latina, agrees 100% with the position I've stated.

She's openly laughed about the fact that this has even become an "issue".

Only emotional invalids feel "bullied" by people making perfectly rational statements.

The only political ramifications this has is that people are openly relieved that we've got a politician out there who doesn't walk on eggshells around every conceivable special interest group or run in fear from the fact that some people (God forbid!!!) disagree with something he's said.

Stating the truth is not hard to understand.

Now Please explain why you think it is shaming since you are much more enlightened than I.

We are talking about Gingrich, not Trump.

There are lots of things to criticize Trump about and there are a lot of things that are simply made up about the man, but this particular incident shows me just how mentally off base this guy is. Trump is making the same mistake with this woman that he made with the Khan's. He is so insecure and his ego so fragile that he cannot let any insult, any criticism, any slight no matter how small or insignificant go unanswered. He took the bait on this during the debate and his is still choking on it days later. Let it go, you moron!

I did not say that...........I am just repeating what women have said........


Is there any reason to be snide?

REALLY............shall I post what Trump has to say on the issue?

He was up tweeting about it all at 3 am...........

As one observer noted........

"The best way to dispel the perception that you have a problem with cocaine and/or women is to rant on Twitter at 3 in the morning."

I agree with your opinion about Trump and that is why I want him to double and triple down on this beauty queen attack and in fact increase it making it the centerpiece of his campaign until further notice.

Knowing him, you might get your wish.

I specifically quoted what Gingrich said and commented on that, and you know that so why try to distract from that?
