Trump doesn't challenge anti-Muslim questioner at event
CNN ^ | Sept. 18, 2015 | Theodore Schleifer

Washington (CNN)—Donald Trump came under fire Thursday night for his handling of a question at a town hall about when the U.S. can "get rid" of Muslims, for failing to take issue with that premise and an assertion that President Barack Obama is Muslim.

"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," an unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire asked the mogul. "You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."

A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man, chuckling, "We need this question. This is the first question."

"Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us," the man, wearing a "Trump" T-shirt, continued. "That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"

MEgyn Kelly made this the hit piece of her show.

I listened to the question in real time. Trump was responding to the assertion of Muslim terror cells. I didn’t get the impression AT ALL that he was agreeing about Obama being Muslim...

But guess what? HIs point will go up five points because all of us here know he is.

The attacks on Trump over this should garner him at least another 5-8% points in the polls.

As for Islamonazi training camps..they built a big one in Boston not long ago...and that eyesore in the D.C. area that the leader of Pheasant hailed along with Buckwheat. These “mosques” are the camps.

I've been thinking about that point lately, and am wondering why it hasn't come out yet in the campaign. I'm guessing the Dims are keeping it under wraps, but will unload it should Trump become the nominee.

I'm liking what Trump is doing to/in this campaign, but that episode a few years back was akin to many of the "teasers" we've gotten from Whore-aldo, Hannity, Monica Crowley, and yes, even Breitbart. It may become his Achilles' Heel.

Heads are exploding...

There’s a little bit of Donald Trump in ALL true Americans.

And here is a list of the things he has done for Christians and Jews:

Very short list, indeed. OTOH, you could make a rather lengthy list of the things he has done to Christians and Jews.

His opponents for the nomination can't bring it up for fear of alienating the base.

Like no one has noticed Muslims have a penchant for cutting peoples heads off. This might be a good time for this debate.

I admit that I am not a Trump fan. But then again I've never liked reality TV shows.

Isn’t there video of 0bama making an appeal to Muslims saying he was one of them? It may have been a holiday message.

Excellent question to ask some of the media who promote islam. They should be proud he is a muslim.

Obama’s mother & step father raised him as Muslim.

I missed this segment on the training camps that Sean Hannity did:
Muslim Training Camps in America

http://www.military.com/video/operations-and-strategy/domestic-terrorism/terrorist-training-camps-in-the-us/660940716001/

It is well worth watching. Sean needs to do an update on these camps.

The media is trying to take our attention away from the camps.

Trump realizes this fellow’s question and vote means as much as a vote from Chris Matthews’ and he is likely to get many fold more votes from fellows with similar concerns as the questioner, whereas nothing will get Sissy Matthews to vote Trump.

“Like no one has noticed Muslims have a penchant for cutting peoples heads off. This might be a good time for this debate.”

The media is so offended by Trump letting the man in the audience say that Obama is a Muslim, but the media is not interested in the Muslim training camps.

Thankfully, we know the Cruz wanted the Corker bill so the Iran deal couldn’t be stopped. That is also why he initially voted for the TPA, to allow all trade bills to default to “Pass,” no matter how bad they might be.

It’s also the case that Cruz wants at least 500% more foreign H1-B visa holders in the US to stop Americans from working. It doesn’t matter to Cruz that we have had double the number of STEM grads as can find jobs since before 2011.

Yeah, we know what Cruz wants to do.

“Since when is it Trump's job to explain Obama’s religion?”

That was that mans opinion in a question to Mr. Trump. Why should Mr. Trump change or even question that man about his opinions?

My opinion is that Obama is a Muslim.

Actually, there are several very good analyses by top Constitutional lawyers indicating that what Obama’s doing doesn’t rise to a treaty and that similar things have been done by past presidents.

There are faults with the Corker bill, but Cruz isn’t one of them. I like Cruz, not the 21st century Perot: Donald Trump.

Trump’s not a conservative.

Never. The thought formed in his mind about his FAITH. No way anyone inserts the wrong faith in an assertive statement. Although he is essentially atheist, his default mindset/worldview/religion is Islam, because muslims hate America like he does. His racism also attracts him to Islam.
