TRUMP: US SHOULD ‘HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,’ WITH REFUGEE CRISIS, ‘POSSIBLY’ LET SOME IN
Breitbart ^ | 5 SEPT 2015 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 09/07/2015 12:37:22 PM PDT by South40

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that while “There’s only so much we can do. We have to fix our own country” the US should “help as much as possible” with the European refugee crisis and “possibly” let some refugees into the US on Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Trump was asked about the European refugee crisis and, “Should we be letting some of those people into this country?”

He answered, “So horrible on a humanitarian basis when you see that. It’s like incredible what’s going on. But, you know, we have so many problems. And the answer is possibly yes, Cokie, possibly yes.

i have no idea whether or not he supported Ross Perot. I said he was once a member of that party and Ross was trying to get him to run for president on that ticket. It was long after Ross dropped out of the campaign. It just amazes me how people read things into posts that aren’t there.

No point. These people will be calling this conservative before the day ends.

Conservatism is just a word to get you tickets to the ball. you don’t actually have to believe in it anymore.

It’s a lesser evil.

One of my best friends is Jewish, was best man at his wedding. Christians and Jews have enough problems with the Muslims. Let’s not reopen old wounds. It’s not necessary in my book.

Pure insanity

Trump is an inconsistent flake, pure and simple

It goes both ways — some people see gold and other people see pyrite.

” Maybe we owe nickcarraway an apology?”

what do you mean WE? I was still on the fence on Trump. Unlike the bandwagon jumpers on FR, I learned it always takes time before the stench comes out on candidates...

Trump doesn’t speak in one word sentences. He can’t just say “no”.. he expounds first. The headline of that article is misleading.. meant to be.

Um, just earlier everyone was screaming for us to let the Christian refugees in. They aren’t all Muslims. Most, not all.

He said possibly. He didn’t say yes we should let them all in. He was highlighting our own problems and has been a staunch supporter of Christians - maybe this was what he was referring to. Geez, people on here sure want to take him down. And, for who? Cruz? I just can’t picture Cruz as president.

Good question. I would love to know which candidates are to Trump's right on immigration.

The anti-Trump brigade here on FR will have strokes when he hits 40% and has a lock on the nomination.

There simply are no other acceptable candidates other than Trump and Cruz.

Walker, Fiorina, Carson et al have all proven they are unworthy. Carson crashed very recently by taking some lamentable positions.

And Cruz can’t win the nomination IMO. He will be the likely VP choice of Trump. That is his road to the presidency.

Remember how absolutely giddy Hillary was when Qaddafi was tortured to Death?

Now the Muslims come to Europe and say, "We came, we saw, White people Died."

But if I really do believe in Constitutional conservativism, may I still dance at the ball?

In many ways Freepers are as gullible as the ordinary population, or in this case, even more so.

Of course the headline is a lie, and South40 used the lie to stampede a bunch of Freepers.

How predictable

That's what evil does.

Seesh

I would welcome more Christians.

How will we know if they are Christians?

Yet amidst cries for Europe to do more, it has transpired that of the five wealthiest countries on the Arabian Peninsula, that is, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, not one has taken in a single refugee from Syria. Instead, they have argued that accepting large numbers of Syrians is a threat to their safety, as terrorists could be hiding within an influx of people.

Actually he has spoken in the past on allowing in CHRISTIAN Syrian refugees. Pretty consistent, to me.

It's Trump "being nice" in his way. Anti-Trumpers love to latch onto the misleading headline, or without reading for content, or purposely not understanding. Could Trump say with 100% certainty to deny every refugee here with no entry? His answer at the end of his statement is way closer to "No" than "Yes".

Really what could Trump say that would please the anti-Trumpers? I guess they want to hear "Let them all die of starvation and exposure, then God can sort them out".

Not much if any. Trump would be hit with not caring, being cruel, and yada yada yada....
