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]

It is certainly clear enough that he should be expected to clarify what he said. He should be asked a simple question, "Are Muslims in America a 'problem'?". He can answer with a yes or no. If he says "yes", he should be asked if plans to get rid of them.

If there is even a chance that a major candidate is supporting ethnic cleansing, I think we should expect to have it clarified. Certainly that is not the sort of issue you allow to remain vague and confused.

I think you're being naive.  Right now trump is the frontrunner and the #1 ratings driver on any media.  He has a blacklist.  If you don't softball him, you will end up on that list and you will never get another interview.  Did you notice how many interviews he has done with Jorge Ramos after their flap?  Have you noticed that Hugh Hewitt was really conciliatory toward trump at the debate after the Muslim naming flap they got into?

This is a period when the coverage will be fawning because of what it means to the news organizations' bottom line.  When his poll #'s drop, journalists will get their pound of flesh.

Don't forget that we live in a capitalist system where you can't eat or clothe yourself on righteousness alone.  You run this site and you know that.[/quote]

I do eat and clothe myself on righteousness. I bite the hand that feeds me almost every day.

You call me "naive" yet you are talking about the same media that immediately lined up to promote Fiorina after the debate. The financial well-being of the mainstream media depends on them being part of the dump Trump movement.

Someone has decided that emphasizing Trump's failure to rebuke his supporter is a better gambit than discussing Trump's apparent agreement that Muslims are a problems and that getting rid of them is something he will look into. I'd love to know what their calculus is.

Their calculus is the giant sucking sound of money being vacuumed into Mitt's pockets when he finally emerges as the white knight to save their asses.
