To be honest I saw the part where Trump talks about Mitt being on his knees, and I don't think he meant it as an innuendo/blow job reference.

How was it anything but? :huh:

Not that I wish to defend Trump or anything, but there is a long tradition of beggars/supplicants going down on their knees, or even all fours, and not getting a sausage stuffed in their mouths.

Is that a serious question?  Getting on one's knees is a classic human signal of submission.  It's been that way from way before blow jobs became all the rage.

But this is Donald Trump we're talking about.  A man who references his penis size in a GOP debate.

So your argument is that "Trump clearly refers to a blowjob because he's Trump and Trump would do something like this"? :D

You must be very persuasive as a prosecutor.

I heard it live on the radio and didn't think of it referring to anything other than Mitt begging, until some secondary reaction from the crowd.  I think most of Languish is hearing what it wants to hear.  Preverts.

I have to agree with you for once.  I can understand saying that for lols, but to seriously believe that Trump was talking about getting blowjobs from Romney?   :wacko:

So I take it that if, in the actual presidential race, Trump suggests that Clinton get down on all fours in front of him, it won't have a sexual component?  ;)

He's suggesting Trump isn't the kind of guy who shies away from public vulgarity, so if he's making a comment that can reasonably be interpreted vulgarly, it's reasonable to assume he was.

Which is a reasonable point.  ;)

It would be a crime against humanity to put that picture in our minds :angry:

Trump is also not the kind of guy who chooses his words carefully.

Context is always important.

The context here is a race that has already descended to the schoolyard, with comments about the size of Trump's manhood flying about.

In that specific context, it is impossible to reasonably see Trump's comment as lacking a sexual insult angle.

Oh okay, so we have no choice but to apply sexual connotation to everything Trump says from this point on?

Well, yeah. He's a guy who has publicly joked about dating his own daughter, which is usually unwise.  :lol:

What makes anyone think he wouldn't joke about Mitt oral?

Well, I'd just do that for stuff that is obviously sexual, but if you want to do that for everything he says, be my guest.  :D
