Just when you thought he couldn't sink any lower ! Just shows how desperate he is.

[youngmafbog]

So I assume you think Hilary doesn't want their votes then?

[Cloverjo]

The man is shameless.

[Mamyalynne]

I now feel rather ill, how distasteful.

[youngmafbog]

Same question to you Cloverjo.

[Mamyalynne]

Please add her speech in this vein, I'll comment .

"So I assume you think Hilary doesn't want their votes then?"

Just what is that supposed to mean ! This thread is about Trumps increasingly bizarre behaviour. As Jo has said, utterly shameless.

[mikey4444]

YMB...we are eagerly awaiting your Hilary quote on the same subject !

[Cloverjo]

Well, Hillary hasn't stood up and said "I don't care how ill you are....or if you're dying soon..." Etc.

YMB,the difference is that , unlike despicable Trump, she is not courting their votes.

It is reported by the anti-Trump Leftist media that Trump said this :

/// "Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called on the terminally ill Wednesday to “hang out till November” so they can vote for him in the election against his rival Hillary Clinton. ///

To my knowledge he did not say that, what he actually said was :

"hang out till November, and go out and vote".

Nothing unusual in that, as all politicians are keen for a maximum (sick, elderly, disabled) turn out on voting day.

//"hang out till November, and go out and vote". //

So , is that hang on until November before dying , to the terminally ill ?

[pastafreak]

Despicable...not just Trumps words...but the fact that several in here can say " he did not say that".
He did...he was speaking about and within the context of, the terminally ill,and no one else.
And...there were people laughing.
Sometimes the human race is beyond my comprehension....

He's a card, isn't he ......

[naomi24]

He is indeed.

In my view, your argument is semantics, and it is too thin to work.

When Mr Trump says ' ... hang out till November, and go out and vote' - and let's leave aside the ghoulish attitude of that post, as though dying people will have nothing more important to do with their last days on earth than vote - do you in all honestly think his subtext is - 'And vote for Hilary if you like, I'm not bothered either way ...'

Somehow I doubt it!

[andy-hughes]

divebuddy - I think Donny should have been far more specific, and confirmed that he was only speaking to Republican voters who need to hang on and vote for him - the Democratic voters can cock their toes up any old time they like - no problem.

'The guy is all heart.'

Not entirely, there's lungs, eyelids and sundry unidentifiable components.

In short he's a haggis.
