'I have at least 20 Muslim friends', says Donald Trump, but can't name them
The Daily Telegraph ^ | February 7, 2015 | David Lawler, New Hampshire

Posted on 02/07/2016 10:53:43 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

..... The Republican presidential candidate has repeatedly said that "Muslims love him" despite his provocative policies, but has so far failed to name any single individual Muslim supporter.

Asked by the Telegraph to elaborate, Mr Trump again ducked the question responding: "Oh, I could give you about 20 of them."...

Donald Trump Junior, Mr Trump's son, was also unable to tell the Telegraph who his father's Muslim friends were, saying only that they had "completed a lot of business deals" in the Middle East.

Matt 18: 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Maybe. But I don’t think it would be odd if he has no Muslim friends nor would it be necessary to say business associates are “friends.”

Why would Trump want to drag private people into this political arena?

You & CW’s envy of Trump is quite humorous.

He’s successful. He draws enormous crowds. He’s unflappable & all the shite slinging you folks & the GOPe do has only lifted him higher in the polls.

Go Trump!

Do you have a substantive response to the information in the article....

It's a very good question and it does occur to people who read the snark posts. Actually, screen names are getting more and more welded to the all snark all the time operation. Reputation, integrity and some degree of rationality was once valued around here.

How is this a "hitpiece?"

It's a very short list that the 24/7 Snarkmeisters work from. But, you already know that.

Carry on. You do good work.

The humorous part is you attributing their reactions to envy. Not everyone has been fooled by Trump as completely as you have been. Hard as that may be for you Trumpers to accept.

Your response encapsulates my reaction. WHY would he name his Muslim friends?

How silly is this!?!

I axed you very politely not to back Cruz after the doctors released you from the mental institution because of your breakdown over scotty dog walker, but you, vile, evil, crazy witch that you are, could not he'p yourself.

There seems to be some uncertainty and confusion about the posting rule "No personal attacks." So, I am I am pinging the Mod for my own edification.

Alinsky 101. Don’t attack the substance - attack the messenger.

It may be an alien concept to Trump supporters, but there are actually conservatives here who do their own research, analyze it, and act individually on it.

They aren’t easily swayed by popular opinion. They think for themselves and they act on what they believe solely because they care about their children and grandchildren and want them to enjoy liberty and freedom.

There are also plenty of us who haven’t decided yet on a candidate. Trump supporters are not winning folks like us to their side.

I don’t have any and I don’t want any. Have some Dem relatives and friends is as far as I go. We stay away from politics as we are both mind set on the issues. They are PC liberals, I’m the Christian Conservative.

Some business associates become friends. Some do not. I have those I count in both categories.

-— You can’t reason them out of supporting a candidate that they didn’t reason themselves into supporting. -—

True. My hope is to reach or speak to the lurkers.

"Their names are Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, Muhammed, etc."

The question posed to Mr. Trump regarding him publicly naming his Muslim friends was poison bait, of course..

In turn, he should have told the enemedia to ask Jeb! to name 20 of his "loving" illegal Mexican amigos to be disseminated across the national stage, then to get back to him (Trump).

(....they may be all named Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose, etc.)
