One correction. He did not say "absolutely", but rather "certainly". Watch the video here if you can:

For some reason the story changes the sequence of the quotes.

That's interesting. Listening to the exchange, my guess is that he will be able to walk that back as a misstatement. I found it hard to follow and had to listen to it a couple of times to understand, but of course I didn't see the context of the whole press conference. Will be interesting to see if it gets traction.

If you had trouble following that and had to listen to the first 20 seconds more than once, I'm not sure what to say...it couldn't have been said more clearly. "Beyond a data base we need X,Y,Z" "I would certainly implement that"....are those statements somehow vague to you?

Huh? What's unclear about it?

~sigh~ Mr. Steele, this is grossly unfair to Mr. Trump. What really happened is that a media guy asked him a trolling question and he responded with evasions as any reasonably smart politician would given the uncertainty regarding how this issue is going to play out. But don't take that from me. Even the liberal Kevin Drum recognizes this at Mother Jones of all places:

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2015/11/press-needs-stop-encouraging-republican-lunacy-toward-muslims

Seriously, Mr. Trump says a lot of wacky stuff, but he has not in fact advocated a database registering muslims.

What? You are painting Trump out to be worse that Sarah Palin: "oh, that darn liberal media asking her what magazines she reads. How mean and nasty". If someone asks you if you want to set up a database of Muslims, you say, "no". It's not that hard. If you misspeak, you issue a clarification. Beyond answering the reporters question about whether he would support such a database, Trump went further and said his administration would absolutely implement such a thing.
