    Clearly, Trump is the best candidate. After all, he has the bigger plane.

    Why would it strike you as odd? Why talk about people's kids, even in some bizarre hypothetical?

    He's already shadowing her and trying to intimidate her!

    This was already explained. It is disrespectful to grandmothers. Unless you want to lie and say that calling her Grandma was meant as a compliment.

    But that goes back to the fact that he wasn't singling out anyone's kids, and why I referenced other comments in which someone could conceivably take offense on behalf of a parent/child/spouse that caused no uproar. I disagree with his general argument, but I think things escalated from an innocuous (for this board), passing insult and gave some people an excuse to pile on because they don't like him.

    Nope. Just like Howie Kurtz, he knows who signs his checks and isn't going to let responsibility get in the way of playing for the home team.

    Actually, it's not that you were wrong, it's that you apparently were not aware of it at the time. And I was just cracking a joke in that vein. Relax, Dick. You're still on the list of SJers I'd definitely have a beer with. ;)

    I think it's pretty hilarious that you're offended by "Grandma," but not by "Fucko," "Drumpf," "Daughter-fucker," etc.

    I don't get worked up by your calling her Grandma but I am curious as to why you do it. If you are ripping her for her age why don't you call Trump Grampa ? He is older. It doesn't really bother me but it seems strange.
