Trump is an evil piece of sh#t.

REPORTER: Muslims specifically, how do you actually get them registered into a database?

TRUMP: It would be just good management. What you have to do is good management procedures. And we can do that.

TRUMP: Different places. You sign 'em up at different -- but it's all about management. Our country has no management.

Trump doesn't even know what the reporter is talking about by the end of the conversation.

Trump never suggested a database be kept. The Reporter made up the question to try and trick Trump.


That's just my take on the story. Think whatever you like.

different places

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

Clasical conservatism has very little to do with the modern republican party.

To me, Trump's views - impoverished as they are in actual policy prescriptions - form the antithesis of conservatism. Clasical conservatism advocates the free movement of goods, services and people, and oppoistion to barriers to same. Trump seems to embrace the very sorts of governmental interventions that promote those barriers. I still don't expect Trump to receive the nomination, because eventually the party will be left with a choice between Trump and a candidate with substance, but he will have done such damage to the party that he will virtually guaranty the election of a Democrat. If he somehow obtains the nomination, I, for one, will not vote for him.

When asked how a system of registering Muslims would be carried out — whether, for instance, mosques would be where people could register — Mr. Trump said: “Different places. You sign up at different places. But it’s all about management. Our country has no management.’’

Asked later, as he signed autographs, how such a database would be different from Jews having to register in Nazi Germany, Mr. Trump repeatedly said, “You tell me,” until he stopped responding to the question.

The Fix
Donald Trump’s defense of his Muslim database comments makes no sense
Donald Trump has a tried and true formula when cornered: Insist he didn't say what he said.

When he suggested that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her ... wherever," it, of course, wasn't a reference to her menstrual cycle. Only people with sick minds would think it was. When he said Mexican immigrants were "bringing drugs … bringing crime" and were "rapists", he later tried to explain that he meant those were the sort of people the Mexican government was sending to the United States..

And now, when confronted with video evidence from the campaign trail this week of his seeming acquiescence to the idea of a national database to track Muslims, Trump, again, pled misunderstanding.

Okay. Let's break this down.

The comments in question came after a Trump campaign event in Iowa on Thursday. An NBC reporter asks him "should there be a database that tracks the Muslims in this country?"

Trump responds: "There should be a lot of systems beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems, and today you can do it. Right now we have to have a border, we have to have strength, we have to have a wall."

The reporter follows up by asking whether that is something a Trump White House would be interested in.

"I would certainly implement that," Trump says. "I would stop people from coming in illegally."

He is then asked by the reporter: "How do you get them registered?"

"It would be good management," Trump responds. "Good management procedures."

Seems pretty straightforward, right?

The lone possibility for genuine misunderstanding I see is when Trump answers the first question by mentioning the wall and the reporter follows up with a generic follow-up about whether that would be something a Trump White House would want to do. It's conceivable at that point that Trump believes the question is about putting in a wall, which he has spoken in favor of many, many times.

But, and this is important, the next question from the reporter is "how do you get them registered?" -- a question that would make no sense to Trump if he thought the conversation was about the need for a border wall. Instead, he quickly responds "it would be good management."

Anyway, remember your liberal hero FDR put the thousands of our fellow citizens in concentration camps, and your beloved Supreme Court, which bestows such wondrous freedoms on us, said that was just fine!

Yep, truly an horrendous f*#k up.

Let's not repeat the same mistakes.

Stupid thread u give dems a bad name

Perhaps he has simply lacked the opportunity to really go big

Luckily we still live in a democracy and even if he got elected it is
highly probable he wouldn't be able to do most of the heinous things
y'all would love to see him try to do. ;-)

I could give a fk about trump. He's a loon as bad as a Crankster and Fry etal.

Just your logic in posting up Manzanar makes me question your equating it to Trump/Republican as E.

BRUSSELS — Once a happy-go-lucky student at one of Brussels’ most prestigious high schools, Abdelhamid Abaaoud morphed into Belgium’s most notorious jihadist, a zealot so devoted to the cause of holy war that he recruited his 13-year-old brother to join him in Syria.

The child of Moroccan immigrants who grew up in the Belgian capital’s scruffy and multiethnic Molenbeek-Saint-Jean neighbourhood, the fugitive, in his late 20s, was identified by French authorities on Monday as the presumed mastermind of the attacks last Friday in Paris that killed 129 people and injured hundreds.

REPORTER: Would you go to mosques and sign these people up into the system?

TRUMP: Different places. You sign 'em up at different -

Going into Afghanistan did not make us safer, and going into Iraq made things worse.

don't know enough about gaddafi.

but this muslim registration issue is far far far beyond democrat vs republican.

Jesus christ that is some stupid f*#king distinction. LOL. What the f*#k do you think a watchlist is held in you goddamn morons???A Word document? A spreadsheet for f*#king sake?

Man, the stupid runs strong in this thread.

I cry every time I drive by this place.. I actually cry.

Why would a billionaire malignant narcissist want to be puppet president? He wouldn't.

To be honest, people are fed up with political correctness

There just aren't enough Chief's, Sumner's, TGT's, cosmic, etc. to put Trump in the White House

Good info Lorenzo. Do you know how many Citzens of Japanese descent were interned?

I cannot access Google otherwise I would look for myself.

Doubt he'll be the nominee, but the bad news for Hildebeest is that you have to get all the way down to Carly before it's a tie.

The party’s core is dying off by the day.
Since the average Republican is significantly older than the average Democrat, far more Republicans than Democrats have died since the 2012 elections. To make matters worse, the GOP is attracting fewer first-time voters. Unless the party is able to make inroads with new voters, or discover a fountain of youth, the GOP’s slow demographic slide will continue election to election.

Norton, $3000 is to much for my conviction. How about $100? I say, the next president will be a Republican.

I particularly like this one:

The GOP is dying off, literally

Charles

It was in fact shown on the the news here Arabs dancing in the streets in Jersey city and Patterson NJ after the attack.

ort I watched it on the news and clearly remember the anger i felt when seeing people in my state cheering. why should I have to provide something that was shown on TV 14 years ago? this was in 2001 before all this social media crap. you can call Trump a liar all you want but do Not call me a liar.

He's a liar.

* TRUMP AMPLIFIES THREAT AGAINST GOP: With GOP Super PACs planning new campaigns to stop Trump, U.S. News and World Report notes that Trump and his senior adviser have been amplifying the suggested threat to run as a third party candidate if the GOP treats him “unfairly”:

Michael Cohen, a senior Trump adviser, told CNN that political action committees criticizing Trump are making a “bad, bad decision” if they are joining forces to stop the billionaire real-estate tycoon from winning the GOP nomination. “Donald Trump wants to be treated fairly,” Cohen said Tuesday. “He will demand that the GOP treat him fairly.”

Trump signed a pledge not to run an independent candidacy, provided the GOP treats him fairly. The beauty of this is that Trump decides what getting treated “fairly” means. If he decides that rival campaigns and Super PACs attacking him constitutes “unfair” treatment, well, tough!

* CONSERVATIVES FLOAT THE F-WORD ABOUT TRUMP: CNN reports that even some conservatives are beginning to suggest that Trump’s declared support for a Muslim registry crosses over into “fascism.” This, from influential Iowa radio host Steve Deace, is notable:

“If Obama proposed the same religion registry as Trump every conservative in the country would call it what it is — creeping fascism.”

Actually, conservatives have called Obama a lawless tyrant for all kinds of things that fall well short of a Muslim registry, but yes, that’s probably true.

I think JohnE is right ^^^

in addition, if anyone but Trump is the ultimate nominee look for Donald to break his
pledge and run as a third party, using the excuse of the RNC was mean to me

by doing so he splits the Republican vote and increases Hillary's already huge win

Donald has the ego and narcism of Ross Perot in spades to do it

In a fascinating analysis at the conservative magazine National Review, Lawrence Brinton, a pseudonym for a political operative who has supposedly "informally advised several 2016 campaigns," lays out a compelling case that establishment favorite Jeb Bush has "almost no chance" of winning the 2016 Republican nomination. Brinton bases his analysis on Bush's third-quarter fundraising numbers, which show that the cash for his campaign comes overwhelmingly from major donors — indicating a lack of support from grassroots voters who are not only necessary to build enthusiasm for a campaign, but who also in recent election cycles have become a financial force in their own right.

Brinton's analysis is damning. The ratio of Bush's big-donor and small-donor amounts is a wildly unbalanced 15:1, comparing unfavorably to Hillary Clinton (3:1), Marco Rubio (1.7:1), Ted Cruz (1:1.6), and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump (1:6.5). (As Brinton notes, Trump has not even been an active fund-raiser, and would likely be an attractive candidate to both major donors and small donors.) Bush even trails Mitt Romney at this stage of the 2008 election cycle, with the former private equity titan boasting a healthier 7:1 ratio. George W. Bush had a 12:1 ratio at this stage of the 2000 race, but Brinton argues that he was competitive in the small donor range and dominant in the middle donor range, whereas Jeb is very weak in both areas.

Based on historical patterns, Brinton concludes that "Jeb Bush cannot win." He adds, "No candidate has ever won the nomination with such a heavy reliance on big donors, even at a time when big-donor money made up a much larger percentage of total fundraising." Brinton says that the candidate in the best position to win is Cruz, and that Rubio, Carly Fiorina, and Trump are also in the mix.

I doubt things will change much between now and January 1. Americans tune out politics in favor of holidays. That will leave one month for the race's dynamics to change.

The more I hear Trump speak, the more his appeal starts to resemble that of a populist dictator. His policy is "Put me in charge and I will lead you to the promised land." He doesn't really say how, and shows little regard for limited representative government.

It is up to the voters to vet and make wise choices.
