First, I'm a Cruz guy, but have heretofore felt very comfortable with Trump if that is the way it turns out. Joe Scarborough's interview with Trump today is seriously troubling to me, considering Trump may very well end up our President. In case you have not heard, after Trump seemed to praise Putin for "running his country", Scarborough twice challenged Trump over the fact that Putin kills journalists and opponents.
It was Trump's response that really shocked me. After the second time Scarborough challenged Trump with this fact, Trump's response was, "we kill a lot of people too". Geez, is he asserting moral equivalence between Putin's killing his own citizens and the US killing terrorists? This type of response must be explored and challenged in the most urgent manner. We cannot have a President with, apparently, a view that such use of force against citizens by an executive should not even raise an eyebrow. Very scary.

After the second time Scarborough challenged Trump with this fact, Trump's response was, "we kill a lot of people too". Its called the truth. I find it refreshing. Nothing changes until it is acknowledged as existing. Trump is an acknowledgement monster.

The current (June, 2015) US Law of War lists journalists as bellicose. They may be shot on sight.

Putin does what he thinks is right for his country and wants it strong.
fairy boy cares more about making this country weak, getting rid of it’s history, and making white Christians a minority.,

I think restricting information flow in a war zone so that no enemy propaganda gets airtime should be an essential part of our strategic policy; if that means killing journalists (covertly) who try to sneak in the zone or give aid to the enemy by spouting their propaganda, so be it.

Liberals only hate Putin because he won;t let homosexuals run a mock in his country and making those who move there to become Russian.
A liberals worst nightmare for sure.

Putin is almost in the same league as the Clintons when it comes to knocking folks off.

There are enough ugly anti-Trump smears all over the internet. We do not need them here also.

Refreshing to once again here Trump tell what should be obvious but an MSM veil of secrecy makes it politically incorrect to question a regime....like the zer0 regime or the 1990s Clinton regime. What happened to that journalist who drove into those trees in California?

Trump folks are like Obama folks. It’s a cult thing. Nothing they do, don’t do or say matters one lick. They are on the train no matter what. But Trump will walk this one back.

Surely someone will arrive to explain that this is all part of Trump’s brilliant OODA loop strategy or some such thing.

He posted a news story that, if true, should make all Trump supporters think twice. But I am sure it won’t even if the story reflects exactly what Trump said.

Obama still meets with Putin. Using this logic he should refuse to meet with him because he supposedly had journalists killed.

Liberals only hate Putin because he won't let homosexuals run [amok] in his country.... Funny, seeing that most of Putin's admirers here appear to be male. Is there some sort of homo thing, there?
