    Jim, are you maybe jealous that we have some new dummies on Tweb, and you're trying to prove you are by far the DUMBEST?


    (ETA - maybe one of your liberal buddies needs to explain to you that "incredibly petty" is NOT a compliment or a defense )
    Oh that's nothing new, that's how you operate, CP. You call him petty, you call him a liar, you say he should stop tweeting etc etc. but then you defend his lies, his tweets, and everything he does.

      You really are trying to prove how stupid you are.

      And that's how you operate, Jim - you try to prove you can lie just a much as Trump.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        . . . but of course, to Trump political gatherings for Trump are exempt or maybe 'immune' almost.

          . . . most likely, because of 'no respect.'

              Is it a big deal? In the grand scheme of things, no. But it would have taken very little effort, made Trump look like more than an adolescent playing at being a statesman, and probably would have appealed to some African Americans he's trying to get votes from. It also would have stuck a thumb in the eye of people who insist he's a racist.

              But no. He couldn't rise to the challenge we repeatedly saw young kids conquering on TV today.

                A classic case of "Damned if you don't; damned if you do."

                Look at what happened the day Lewis died. At first liberals criticized Trump for not saying anything; then when Trump sent out a a very nice tweet, liberals responded with indignation that he said anything at all.

                            You know I am right. No matter what he does, the MSM will twist it into an attack.

                            If Trump cured cancer, the headlines would be "Trump puts thousands of researchers out of work - how will they feed their families?"

                              I don't, actually.

                              He'll be criticized for it, sure. Whether it'll come from "the MSM" is entirely questionable.

                              And let's just shelve the notion of criticism of the president being a bad thing. All presidents get criticized for everything they do, all the time. Trump potentially being criticized for paying his respects to Lewis is not an excuse for not paying those respects. Any implication to the contrary represents cowardice.

                                I don't think it's cowardice at all - I think it's more lack of class. But we knew that.

                                Again, Lewis set the tone by attacking Trump and refusing to attend events where Trump was attending, but still, I think Trump should have risen above Lewis' pettiness..... would you call Lewis a coward?
