Donald Trump dominated GOP Debate, spoke hard truths: ‘We Need Brain’

We Need Brain. This was actually uttered at the tail end of one of Trump’s answers and it is now a Trump Truism: “We need brain in this country to turn it around. That I can tell you right now.” We Need Brain.

Fat Pigs. Megyn Kelly asked a pointed question, whether Trump would apologize or take back comments he’s made about women over the years, that various women are “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.” Trump said: “That was just about Rosie O’Donnell.” Megyn: “For the record, it was well beyond Rosie.” Kelly was hitting two bright orange birds with one stone: she made him sound like a misogynist and an intemperate a—hole (he is both). Trump’s reply was: “I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I’ve been—I’ve been challenged by so many people and I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have time either…And honestly, Megyn if you don’t like it, I’m sorry. I’ve been very nice to you although I could probably not be based on the way you have treated me. But I wouldn’t do that.”

Hillary Clinton. There was so much Hillary-bashing, it just became crazy after a while. But at one point, Trump was asked about donating to Hillary’s Senate campaign (I guess he gave to her campaign in 2000?) and this is how he explained it: “I gave to many people…With Hillary Clinton I said be at my wedding, and she came to my wedding. She had no choice because I gave.” What was shocking is that there was NO FOLLOWUP on that. Seriously, he gave money to Hillary Clinton… just so Hillary would come to his 2005 wedding? WTF?
