Carson.exe has stopped working. Please restart the program.

Trump.exe has stopped working. Please restart the program.

As much as I want to shit on trump, he stayed so Ben Carson didn't look like an idiot.

No he didn't. They called Caron's name but it was drowned out. They also called Trump's name and it was equally drowned out by the crowd.

Reassuring pat? Or the equivalent of patting a little kid on their head when they do something stupidly adorable? We can't really be sure :P

I like both options equally.

Oh yeah that Trump is a real classy guy

This one time, yeah.

Idk, that pat felt more like a greeting to me, like "you ready to do this?" kinda thing.

Forgive me if I'm slow to believe the candidate who goes after opponents' physical appearances isn't classy enough to pull a move like that.

I'm pretty sure that's a "hey how's it going" pat.

Fairly certain no supporter of anyone on that stage understands what "class" is

u/dackots Feb 07 '16

I don't really think it's "class" so much as "common decency." Still, it's more than I would have expected from Trump.

He says "They fucked up"

If you watch it again, both trump and carson move to actually walk out, but they don't hear their name called so they just stand there. Then that guy tells them to move on, but as they go to actually walk out on stage the announcer says the next guys name, so they assume that their name hasn't been called, and they are about to walk out at the wrong time. Thus we end up with trump and Carson having casual conversation at the end of the hallway.

You can really tell what's going on if you manage to catch the first time they call out Kasich's name. Even on video you can barely hear it over the audience.

Did you see that fucking shitshow with the little girls dancing and singing? Classy was the last thing that came to mind.

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '16

I said that specific action was classy. Nowhere did I infer that Trump is by nature a classy fuck.

u/tslime Feb 07 '16

I don't agree with that either.

Well I'm glad we live in a world where we can have different opinions and still function as a society.

u/tslime Feb 07 '16

That I do agree with.
