Which actions? Answer could be yes, no, or maybe. What I do find difficult to defend is what appears to be an obsession with the man's every word. He does play too much in the mud but look at our media who jump right in with him to replenish his armaments. That's something I also find difficult to defend.

For starters

His actions of making a statement, denying he made a statement, Then calling others liars.

Maybe he just forgets what he's said.

That's a common problem. It also seems to be extremely common in politicians. For Trump, it would be a bad sign for him to be acting too much like just another politician in the race.

or/and doesn't realize what he's saying.

Perhaps he could hire a "minder".

Obama and HClinton suffer from the same fate

on a much larger scale........where are THEIR minders? I'm beginning to suspect that duct tape was invented specifically for politicians,,.....but the minders veered off the original intent and so the usefulness died/faded away.

Why should he hire one?

He's getting plenty of free service already. He has physical protection and no end of people following him around and telling him where he's going wrong. How much better taken care of can a person be?

So the electorate in the US should disregard what he says?

I think we should embrace it

Been a long time coming. Trump actually more closely resembles the original founders than the others running, since he's a self made wealthy individual, like many of them were. They put their money and lives on the line for freedom, so far Trump has too. They faced royalists just like Trump has faced down Bernie's Bolsheviks. I warned years back and since then that going too far left would result in a backlash when coming back to the Right. If it doesn't happen now, but later, it will be far worse, more sins of the Left to pay for.

I sure don't know where that question came from.
Apr 1, 2016 7:40AM PDT

It has nothing to do with the question to which I responded. My response was, IMO, quite appropriate for such a vague question. Your response to me sounds more like bait. What is it you're fishing for from me?

Should the electorate also disregard what HC says?

He may speak 'off the cuff' and make exaggerations or gaffes, but at least he isn't blatantly lying to the faces of the voters like she does every time she opens her mouth. Even Biden has a reputation for a large number of gaffes that are overlooked and the media has never once ripped him a new one over them....and who can possibly forget the infamous BO statement of '57 states' that was looked upon 'fondly' by that same media.
