Trump drops out of Heritage event after birther backlash
MSN News ^ | September 18, 2015 | Mark Hensch

Donald Trump canceled his appearance Friday evening at a major campaign stop for the GOP presidential field in South Carolina as he faces criticism from both Republican and Democratic candidates over his failure to address claims that President Obama is a Muslim and "not even an American."

Trump’s campaign announced in a statement Friday he no longer plans to speak at the Heritage Action Presidential Forum at the Bon Secours Arena in Greenville.

The latest attack on Trump. Trump said he had a business commitment. The MSM are playing up the Obama is a Muslim comment.

Trump will tell the truth. Other candidates are afraid to.

Trump should not back down.

Obama was a Muslim until his early 20s. That is documented. There is no evidence whatsoever that Obama ever renounced the Muslim religion. There is no evidence whatsoever that Obama was ever Baptized.

Trump didn’t jump through their hoops.

Trump also more or less shot down their event this evening.

Denied them the chance to natter at him, and deleted about 2/3 of the interest the forum would have generated.

The evidence is that he attended the Rev. Wright’s church for twenty years. Which is as bad if not worse than being Muslim.

Trump has some big deal closing. Likely his sale of the Miss Universe pageant. Sickening how everyone in the media is spinning that as if he is running away.

Wow! They’re trying to make a non-issue work against him.

Kind of good news. Apparently there is not much to dig up.

“If Obama can’t convince Americans he’s not a moslem then it certainly isn’t Trump’s job to do so.”

One third of American think 0 is Muslim. If 0 wanted to clear up the misconception all he would have to do is release his records. Trump will rescind all of 0 executive orders on day one

From the latest press release from the forum...

The list of confirmed candidates includes: Mr. Donald J. Trump; Dr. Ben Carson; Gov. Jeb Bush; Sen. Ted Cruz; Sen. Marco Rubio; Carly Fiorina; Gov. Scott Walker; Gov. Chris Christie; Dr. Rand Paul; Sen. Rick Santorum; and Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Now I wonder how many of them will show up?

In his own book, Obama says what side he’d come down on in a pinch.

Quote that over and over. That should register even with the biggest turd-brain.

The more the MSM works against him, the more popular he becomes. Trump, of course, KNOWS this, and is playing them like a fifty cent kazoo. They are his strongest weapon.

Trump will come out and Trump. He will let everyone know that he did not drop out of the event due to the non-story and that the MSM was making it something it wasn't.

TEAM TRUMP - You Listening/Reading?

It is also my understanding that Trump was not going to attend and had told the people putting on the event about a week ago.

What does one have to do with the other?

NOTHING.

This is the “news” media writing hopeful fiction.

Trump said he had a business commitment.

And he also had a commitment to appear at the Heritage event, right?

Or are Trumpsters now anti Heritage Foundation? Is that suddenly too GOPe for those in the cult of Trump.

"Birther backlash"?????? The only "backlash" has come from the media desperately trying to make this a "story."

Wright was a muzzie before he came home to roost as a BLT “minister”.

Good for him. He won't play their dirty little game.

I'm trying to figure out why he should denounce the dude. Rev Wright said he was a muslim...and there is no Christian in his history. Wright was a muslim....they were friends for 20 years. I'm sure they still are.
