Trump is the only one that talks policy, he talks and talks and talks more than anyone else. They are attacking Trump's character, they won't argue about the trade deals, they won't argue against the immigration issue(the ones that did went bye bye), they sure as hell won't say anything approaching a non-interventionist position. These other jokers are the ones that are coming up with these ridiculous attacks, the whole small hands thing was little Marco's own genius.
Your dailykos memes are a joke, Hillary will be crushed in November. What will you do then? She will likely flee the country to avoid prosecution from our next president because this the miscarriage of justice from Obama's DOJ. She and her husband are evil evil people. Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, same thing.
I agree that trump talks and talks and talks. But quantity does not equal quality.
And who are they? And where are these arguments happening? The last scheduled debate, trump jumped out of (didn't reschedule) so he could go in front of aipac and do a 180 on the i'll be neutral between israel and palestine into a have no doubt, i'm 1,000% behind israel.
Assuming you're talking to me, i don't know what dailykos is, nor have i posted any memes. Any quotes of trump i post are things i've watched trump say on a show, say in an interview, or tweet.
He's the one who says things like
"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."That's not a cute made up meme. That's trump.
https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTr ... 2191248385If his mouth keeps spilling out such things while he talks and talks, that's his own issue. And it is an issue.
As for small hands, yes, marco said it in a lovely moment where the finest of talents were on display. But that doesn't mean trump had to keep going on and on and on about it.
A presedential candidate ignores the comment; turns it against marco - we're talking about serious issues that this country faces and you're making childish jabs about the size of someone's hands? And say he even took the bait. You Let It Go. You don't tweet more about it. You have an interview and if they ask, you say there's no reason to discuss this, there are far more important issues facing the world than the size of my hands. Trump though, goes on and on about how he *had* to reply. And couldn't possibly have anyone think he has small hands and what that might mean. And how gobs of people were all coming up to him admiring his hands.
His neurotic level of unencumbered insecurity/narcissism is dangerous for a president. This is not joe entertainer, this is supposed to be someone with self-restraint who represents an entire nation and has the ability start wars.

From an interview -
HIATT: Just back to the campaign. You are smart and you went to a good school. Yet you are up there and talking about your hands and the size of private …
TRUMP: No …
HIATT: … your private parts.
TRUMP: No, no. No, no. I am not doing that.
HIATT: Do you regret having engaged in that?
TRUMP: No, I had to do it. Look, this guy. Here’s my hands. Now I have my hands, I hear, on the New Yorker, a picture of my hands.
MARCUS: You’re on the cover.
TRUMP: A hand with little fingers coming out of a stem. Like, little.
Look at my hands. They’re fine. Nobody other than Graydon Carter years ago used to use that.
My hands are normal hands. During a debate, he was losing, and he said, “Oh, he has small hands and therefore, you know what that means.” This was not me. This was Rubio that said, “He has small hands and you know what that means.” Okay? So, he started it. So, what I said a couple of days later … and what happened is I was on line shaking hands with supporters, and one of supporters got up and he said,
“Mr. Trump, you have strong hands. You have good-sized hands.” And then another one would say,
“You have great hands, Mr. Trump, I had no idea.” I said, “What do you mean?” He said, “I thought you were like deformed, and I thought you had small hands.” I had fifty people … Is that a correct statement? I mean people were writing, “How are Mr. Trump’s hands?”
My hands are fine. You know, my hands are normal. Slightly large, actually. In fact, I buy a slightly smaller than large glove, okay? No, but I did this because everybody was saying to me, “Oh,
your hands are very nice. They are normal.” So Rubio, in a debate, said, because he had nothing else to say … now I was hitting him pretty hard. He wanted to do his Don Rickles stuff and it didn’t work out. Obviously, it didn’t work too well. But one of the things he said was “He has small hands and therefore, you know what that means, he has small something else.” You can look it up. I didn’t say it.
MARCUS: You chose to raise it …
TRUMP: No, I chose to respond.
MARUS: You chose to respond.
TRUMP: I had no choice.MARCUS: You chose to raise it during a debate. Can you explain why you had no choice?
TRUMP:
I don’t want people to go around thinking that I have a problem. I’m telling you, Ruth, I had so many people.
I would say 25, 30 people would tell me … every time I’d shake people’s hand, “Oh, you have nice hands.” Why shouldn’t I? And, by the way, by saying that I solved the problem. Nobody questions …
I even held up my hands, and said, “Look, take a look at that hand.”MARCUS: You told us in the debate ….
TRUMP: And by saying that, I solved the problem. Nobody questions.
Everyone held my hand. I said look. Take a look at that hand.MARCUS: You told us in the debate that you guaranteed there was not another problem. Was that presidential? And why did you decide to do that?
TRUMP: I don’t know if it was presidential, honestly, whether it is or not. He said, ‘Donald Trump has small hands and therefore he has small something else.’ I didn’t say that. And all I did is when he failed, when he was failing, when he was, when Christie made him look bad, I gave him the– a little recap and I said, and I said, and
I had this big strong powerful hand ready to grab him, because I thought he was going to faint. And everybody took it fine. Whether it was presidential or not I can’t tell you. I can just say that what he said was a lie. And everybody, they wanted to do stories on my hands; after I said that, they never did.
And then I held up the hand, I showed people the hand. You know, when I’ve got a big audience. So yeah, I think it’s not a question of presidential …
MARCUS: He said he regrets …
HIATT: Okay, let’s move on here. Let’s move on.
TRUMP: I did feel I should respond. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know. But I felt I should respond because everybody was talking about it.
