Donald Trump: "The World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush. He kept us safe? That is not safe." Donald Trump was repeatedly booed by the GOP presidential debate audience Saturday in South Carolina when he criticized former President George W. Bush for failing to keep America safe on Sept. 11, 2001. "How did he keep us safe when the World Trade Center went down?" the party front-runner said to boos. Rival Marco Rubio immediately cut in and cast blame on former President Clinton. "The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn't kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance to kill him," Rubio said, referncing the 1993 attack. In an audio recording of Clinton from the day before the 2001 attacks that wasn't released until 2014, he admitted that he had the chance to kill bin Laden while in office but decided against the strike out of concern for hundreds of civilian casualties. Trump responded to Rubio's barb by arguing that Bush had the chance to kill bin Laden as well and similarly decided against it. The comments came minutes after Trump first brought up the 9/11 attacks in a barb with Bush's brother, White House hopeful Jeb Bush. Poster Comment: The neocons love it when the Bush's tell them goat stories. Trump booed over 9/11 comments

Busg was a God damned childish halfwit with shallow country club country club affability. His brother is no better, and neither is Rubio. The workings of the real concrete world are alien to such people. They've never been required to become aquaited with that world and consider it a crude unwelcome intrusion to their genteel dinner parties. This is also true of the members of the audience who booed Trump.
I agree with your statement, but it could be better with a little editing. When your statements are guaranteed to piss people off, it is best to not leave them room to dismiss you because of spelling or grammar errors.

I have another life other than this making demands upon me. Consequently, I make typing errors I don't have time to catch. Additionally, I have an appointment to see a neurologist in the near future because I have severe spinal physical problems that interfere with my typing due to interference with kinesthetic feedback. My ability to walk is also affected. If that bothers you, or anybody else, tough.
