> [@doorhinge](#): > > Where those answers based on the actual questions they were being asked by the media outlets or did they have actual knowledge of the Trump radio interview made days after the GOP candidates debate? They were campaign announcements made without any media outlet questioning at all, in the case of Fiorina and Graham. It was a press release in Erickson’s case, again without any media questioning. All were made before Trump’s radio interview, not that anyone cares. ---

Were they? idk. Maybe they only had gas? 😃 ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > I would wager that if you showed 100 women a transcript of his comments, at least 75 would say that he was referring to menstruation. That’s too bad. In a better world, all 100 would say “this guy’s whining because the moderator of a debate he entered into voluntarily asked questions he didn’t like. Such childish behaviour is typical of Republicans. They are not fit to run a garage sale.” I think people are losing sight of what’s important here: Republicans behave like children and are not fit to run a garage sale. ---

Something said for effect. As an physical reaction, anything from glaring (unblinking stare) to bloodshot eyes (due to elevated blood pressure). Does the term “whatever” always mean “menstruation” to you? ---

There are several Trump threads going, but I picked this one as it seems to connect to The Donald’s relationship to The Party. I guess I could have started a new one. I am changing my assessment of Trump’s candidacy. If he stays in–and I’m the one who picked “out by Halloween” in the poll thread for when he’d quit–I think Trump will win every primary state and hold his own in the caucus states. And here’s why:[Republican voters don’t want entitlement cuts. Republican elites do.](http://www.vox.com/2015/8/17/9164241/donald-trump-issues) [QUOTE=Ezra Klein] Trump is the only Republican running who actually agrees with the GOP base on [entitlements]. “They’re gonna cut Social Security. They’re gonna cut Medicare. They’re gonna cut Medicaid,” he said on Fox & Friends. “I’m the one saying that’s saying I’m not gonna do that!” [/QUOTE] I’m pro-immigration, or at least against being a dick to immigrants. So I’m not thrilled about this. But yeah, I now think Trump is the great populist hope of the GOP. Your next GOP nominee for President of the USA, people. ---

> [@Nametag](#): > > It’s perfectly logical to hear “she’s got blood coming out of her whatever” and think “menstruation.” Normally, that would be the only likely meaning. But that’s clearly not where Trump’s mind was at that moment. While I’m generally in favor of twisting whatever a front-running Republican says to put him in the worst possible light - preferably while destroying his campaign and the entire GOP platform in the process - I generally prefer that the guys on my side not be so obviously wrong while doing so. It’s unprofessional, like a safe-cracker leaving fingerprints. I agree. Well, not so much the general bias toward word-twisting. But on Trump’s line, yeah, I agree. ---

> [@doorhinge](#): > > Does the term “whatever” always mean “menstruation” to you? From someone of Trump’s locker-room mentality, “her (pause) whatever” means “pussy”. ---

> [@doorhinge](#): > > As a figure of speech, it could be anything. Something said for effect. As an physical reaction, anything from glaring (unblinking stare) to bloodshot eyes (due to elevated blood pressure). That’s why we have a language, and debates, and a whole political process, isn’t it? For that ability to string words together that could mean absolutely anything. Trump may have meant it as a compliment. > [@](#): > > Does the term “whatever” always mean “menstruation” to you? No.[sup]\*[/sup] My point is that it doesn’t matter. Even if we take Trump at his word that he meant “nose”, he’s still an aggressive, self-victimizing blowhard. And factually wrong. - A direct answer to a yes-or-no question, for those who have never seen such a thing in Great Debates before.
