In a one on one interview with Donald Trump, CNN’s Don Lemon asked Trump is he was a homophobe.
Trump’s response? “I’m a very nice person” and then he diverted from the subject, never answering the question.
Watch below:
Some news stories you may have missed:
• Two minutes of smile – Feel good video about a typical day with woofy dads, Corey and Rocco, and their adorable son Forge.
• Regarding the “Kim Davis meeting Pope Francis” story – does it help to know he also met Mark Wahlberg? I’m guessing that doesn’t mean the Pope endorses the TED movies or the Funky Bunch.
• Rising star in the Indiana Republican Party, Rep. Jud McMillin, resigned from office after sexually explicit video was texted from his phone. McMillin was one of the co-sponsors of the state’s ill-received Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
• Donald Trump released his proposed revisal of the tax code which The Tax Foundation says would cost the U.S. $12 Trillion over ten years. No surprise – the wealthy would gain a LOT.
• Check out this most excellent mega-mix mashup of Madonna videos set to her new album Rebel Heart.
A new poll by USA TODAY/Suffolk University shows Donald Trump continues at the top of that poll with strong staying power.
Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina share second place with 13% each, and Sen. Marco Rubio lands at #4 with 9%.
Jeb Bush and Sen. Ted Cruz lag in 5th and 6th with 8% and 6% respectively.
I have to note, though, that the results come from polling 380 likely Republican primary voters. That’s not a huge number to gauge what I’d call “the national mood.”
Here’s some cognitive dissonance for you, though. In spite of strong support, check out the first words that come to mind when describing Trump and Fiorina.
Much like the earlier USA Today/Suffolk University poll I posted earlier today, the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Donald Trump virtually tied with Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina and Sen. Marco Rubio tied in 3rd.
Thank goodness for Vice-President Joe Biden calling out Donald Trump’s “no facts – insult, insult, insult” approach to campaigning.
Everything Joe says here is spot on.

Biden blasts Trump for his ‘sick message.’

Just how much Donald Trump has gotten wrong may still surprise you.Posted by The Huffington Post on Friday, September 25, 2015

Some news stories you may have missed:
• Out bobsledder hunk Simon Dunn pens an essay about the time the 6’1′ 216 pound athlete was gay-bashed to the point of being hospitalized. Bu you know the saying – the best revenge is good living 🙂
• In the wake of Gov. Scott Walker dropping out of the GOP race for prez, guess who picked up the lion’s share of his support (not that there was a whole lot to begin with)?
• A young gay man, blamed by his mother for “spreading gayness” to his younger brother, steps up to adopt his bro rather than see him live in a home of hate.
• Conservative pundit Steve Deace calls Sen. Lindsey Graham “transgendered.”
• Did you hear the one where Donald Trump criticized Sen. Marco Rubio and got booed for it? It was a new experience for The Donald.
After Donald Trump announced via Twitter that he would not be appearing on the Fox News network because they were being very “unfair” with him, Fox News issued their own statement saying they canceled his appearance on tonight’s The O’Reilly Factor before he tweeted his boycott:
“At 11:45am today, we canceled Donald Trump’s scheduled appearance on The O’Reilly Factor on Thursday, which resulted in Mr. Trump’s subsequent tweet about his ‘boycott’ of FOX News. The press predictably jumped to cover his tweet, creating yet another distraction from any real issues that Mr. Trump might be questioned about. When coverage doesn’t go his way, he engages in personal attacks on our anchors and hosts, which has grown stale and tiresome. He doesn’t seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how the media works in this country.”
