trump is serious!!!!!

Steve supports Trump?!?!?!

Donald Trump dodged a question at a campaign event on Thursday night from a man in New Hampshire who stated that Barack Obama is a Muslim and “not even American”.

At Trump’s first campaign event following Wednesday’s debate, he took questions from a crowd of 3,000 at a high school in Rochester, New Hampshire. The first person to ask stated: “We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one.”

At that point, Trump said “right” uneasily. The questioner then added: “You know he’s not even American, birth certificate man.” At that point, Trump said somewhat resignedly “we need this question” to scattered laughter at the audience.


The questioner eventually wrapped up by noting, “But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid of them?”

Gopnik nails Trump, his supporters, and why it's still unlikely he will win:

Trump is the natural successor to the Ronald Reagan mantle. All image, no substance.

From a NH event last night- first question from the audience to Trump:

Questioner (wearing Trump T-shirt) to Donald Trump last night in New Hampshire: “We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims. You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."

Trump (chuckling): "We need this question. This is the first question."

Questioner, continuing: "Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"

Trump: “You know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening. We're going to be looking at that and many other things."

Ladies and gentlemen, Republican Party’s current leading candidate for President of the United States. God help us all

wrong. he said, "we need this question? this is the first question?"

[Guinevere]

Whoosh....

[TPFKA@W]

In all fairness I thought his response was questioning as well.

I know whoosh blah blah b

[Crackpot]

Then again this is the same person who was ranting about Obamas birth certificate.

[Lord Jim]

That's the thing...

He's got a history on the "birth certificate"...

But to me the even worse part that isn't getting as much play on cable news is this:

We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims.

Even Trump should have put that one down...

A response like this:

"Sir, we have a problem with "Muslim extremists"...

People who are using a perverted and twisted version of the Muslim religion; and they are a real threat....

But the vast majority of Muslims in this country are hard working, patriotic , honest Americans"...

The fact that Trump couldn't even bring himself to say that, shows the level to which he is willing to pander to the lowest common denominator ....

Beat you by 2 posts.

And that the GOP is willing to embrace such vicious stupidity if it will win them an election.

Gah.

[Guinevere]

Which was my point with the whoosh. Not what Trump said (i don't care whether it was questions or declarative statements) but what he didn't say.

[Econoline]

Finally! Someone who might be able to beat Trump for the GOP nomination!

[wesw]

it s been a couple of hundred yrs....

....maybe we should have the full fledged convention of the states.

our country kinda sucks the way it is.

let s make it anew as was allowed for and even intended in our constitution.

CAN YOU HERE ME NOW? (shouted the People)

trump is popular for a reason. the natives are restless.

heed the warnings or trump is only the beginning....

our country was designed to be changed the easy way. peacefully, by the people. we should take advantage of our good luck in having that option.

vote Kasich. he is the only one who won t make a large segment of the population very angry.

people, from black to white, from right to left, can accept Kasich.

a Bush or a Clinton will rip us a bit (at least a bit) further apart.

can t you Dems , and even you pinko commies (:)-love you sue...) accept Kasich?

I believe that we can convince the Repubs to go along.

come on meade, write somethin' purty 'bout the ol' boy....

I know you guys think I m a whack job, but even a blind squirrel finds the occasional acorn.

let s do something crazy and unite, for all our sakes.

[Lord Jim]

...maybe we should have the full fledged convention of the states.

Wes, that way lies madness...

You seem to have a naive (almost "hippie" ) type view that a "Constitutional Convention" would be populated by some idealic amalgamation of "ordinary citizens"... Farmers, plumbers, butchers, bakers and candle stick makers, all coming together to do what is "best" for America...

The reality is that such a confab would be nothing of the sort...

It would be populated entirely by our current political class....

And at the end of the day, (which would probably take 10-15 years) they would disgorge a monstrosity of a "Constitution" that would run to several thousand pages...

I'll stick with the one produced by the political class we had in the late 1700's, thank you very much...

[Econoline]

I agree with you 100% on this one, Jim. In our current political climate, I can't imagine things turning out better, and I *CAN* imagine many ways things could go very, very wrong.

[wesw]

pussies....

we can have a few elections first fellas....

grow a set!

we d better do it now before someone we like even less does it for us....

[wesw]

vote Kasich!

let trump be sec state...... hee, hee...

that ll learn 'em....

[Guinevere]

Learn who, exactly? Last I checked we were all in this country together.

[Lord Jim]

I'm thinking that the next President should appoint His Trumpness to be Ambassador to Mexico...

[wesw]

them darned commies and a-rabs...
