[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I think most, if not all of you, are actually missing the bigger point here. It's not just that Trump didn't correct the guy claiming that Obama was and Muslim and isn't American, but Trump actually affirmatively agreed with the guy about removing Muslims. Here is the question and Trump's response:

"[b]We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims[/b]. We know our current president is one — you know he’s not even an American. But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question, [b]when can we get rid of them[/b]?"

and Trump's response:

[b]"We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things, a lot of people are saying bad things are happening, we’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things."[/b]

The guy is claiming that Muslims are a problem in the US and he wants to know when we can get rid of them and Trump's response is that he going to look into it.

Can you imagine if someone was asking about getting rid of Catholics or Mormons or any other religious group? Would a candidate say that he is going to "look into it"?

We already know that Trump wants to deport millions of undocumented residents. But, now he is going to look in to getting rid of Muslims, regardless of the legal status in this country? Where is the outrage about that?

Trump is pretty crafty.  I think he muddled his response perfectly to be able to plausibly deny your interpretation of his response.  There's no gotcha there.

Carly, on the other hand, is a rank amateur.[/quote]

I would also add that that vague response is tough to come up with whe someone hits you with a surprising question at an event being broadcast live nationally through seven outlets.

Trump has evolved from his early days when he fumbled with remarks that could be directly challenged.  He he learns fast and is quick on his feet.  He has become a much more savvy politician in a short amount of time.  He can adapt to a steep learning curve, which is probably necessary for a billionaire.

Don't like the guy, but gotta respect the game that this guy brings at this point.  He's nobody's fool.[/quote]

It seems pretty clear to me that Trump says that he is going to be looking into something. The "something" in question may be unclear, but it is pretty much limited to getting rid of Muslims and/or their imaginary training camps. The guy asking the question was very explicit that "We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims" and Trump is equally clear that he is going to be looking into that. I'm not sure how that can be less clear.

I don't dispute that what you are saying is what he intended to communicate.  All I am saying is that the way he said it is vague enough to effectively dismiss your accusations.  That is what political savvy and skill are all about.[/quote]
