Evidently didn't look for his comments on the gay black racist ex-newsman who murdered two whiteys with a glock did you?
He said "Don't blame the gun." Effectively went on to say he supports the second amendment and all law abiding gun owners.
If you're going to vomit bullschitt at least read the news first.
Wow, Donald, how noble of you.. I guess I better put my vote in for you and leave all my reservations aside.. Wasn't it George Bush Sr., whose famouse lines before he got elected were, "Read My Lips, No New Taxes!" I remember it was the butt of all jokes during and after his presidential terms when in fact he supported several tax increases during his term in office.
Oh yeah, while on the subject of George Bush Sr. The guy supported the assault weapon ban and many gun control measures. I wonder if George Bush Sr. was running for president today what his take on gun control would be. I bet he would championing the Republican 2nd Amendment cause, just as the previously pro-gun control/pro-illegal labor candidate Donald Trump. Of course, now he is vigilantly pro-gun/pro-2A and wants to build a giant mega wall to keep all the illegals out.
Another interesting report on Trump utilizing the same illegal immigrant labor to build his hotels as he claims he will eliminate in the country.

Sorry, that I am not buying into him and all his hardball player talk, shame on me. He's a great businessman and personality, I will hand him that..
The fact he and the Clinton family have been friends for a long time doesn't seem to alarm anyone either. GO figure. A New York shark is making big promises and everyone is suppose to be awestruck. The fact he has no political track record is also not a benefit with such a big talker. I would have liked to see how he actually handled some time in office and if he delivered or just makes big promises. Heard enough of those before.
My support goes for other candidates like Ted Cruz. I would take an honorable individual like Allen West, and several other candidates than Donald Trump any day. Rick Santorum looks like another good potential candidate, although it looks like he may be bumped out of the race. I also feel Bobby Jindal is another totally overlooked candidate who has a lot of potential and has a track record as governor of Louisiana, which is no easy state to manage by any means. He as well has vowed to fight illegal immigration, defend 2A rights and fight tax increases.
Can the slickster, Mr. Trump, boast this on his resume, as Governor Bobby Jindal can:
As a private citizen, Jindal voted in 2002 for the Louisiana constitutional amendment known as the Stelly Plan[126] which lowered some sales taxes in exchange for higher income taxes. Since taking office, Jindal has cut taxes a total of six times, including the largest income tax cut in Louisiana's history – a cut of $1.1 billion over five years, along with accelerating the elimination of the tax on business investments.[127] In January 2013, Jindal stated he wants to eliminate all Louisiana corporate and personal income taxes, without giving details for his proposal.[128]
Jindal has stated his support of the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. He has opposed efforts to restrict gun rights and has received an endorsement from the National Rifle Association.[122] Jindal earned an A rating from Gun Owners of America while he was in Congress.[123]
As a Congressman, he sponsored the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006 with Senator Vitter.
Jindal's one flaw on the gun control issue, which would make me question him entirely is his support for background check expansion. Despite Rick Perry, challenging him on the gun background check issue , which I am against, Rick Perry supports "anchor babies" and illegal immigration. I feel the latter issue is worse and has made me lose support for Perry. I'm not sure how deep Jindal wuold be on the background check issue, I would need more investigation there. The NRA and GOA does endorse him and he has a very pro gun track record in perhaps one of the most challenging states to govern in the country.
Jindal would have my vote over Trump any day.. I just wish he could get more media publicity. The media seems to be in love with Mr. Trump, which is not a good thing by any means.
I am not sure if anyone can find any flaws in him, but as of now I feel Ted Cruz meets all my requirements for the best candidate, until I can find some flaw. Every politician will have one, some much worse than others.
As for Ted Cruz, here is some history from his tenture as a Senator;
Cruz is a gun-rights supporter.[129] On March 25, 2013, an announcement was made by Cruz and U.S. Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee threatening to filibuster any legislation that would entail gun control, such as the Manchin-Toomey Amendment, which would require additional background checks on sales at gun shows.[130] On April 17, 2013, Cruz voted against the Manchin-Toomey Amendment.[131] Republicans successfully filibustered the amendment by a vote of 54–46, as 60 votes were needed for cloture.[132]
In April 2015, Cruz stated "what I have been pressing is the Armed Services Committee" to hold hearings on whether service members should be allowed to carry concealed firearms on military bases.[133] He believes that service members should be better equipped to protect themselves from incidents like the Navy Yard and Fort Hood mass shootings.[133] He further added, "I think it's very important to have a public discussion about why we're denying our soldiers the ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights".[133]
Why does the Republican party always get stuck with such dismal choices when there are so many decent candidates never get the spotlight?
