Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has been very vocal about his outrage over the Paris terrorist attack and has laid the blame for the attack squarely at the feet of President Barack Obama.
Appearing on Fox News, Trump hammered again on his earlier statements about President Barack Obama's complete incompetence regarding the Islamic State group. Trump also promised that, if elected, he would destroy the terror organization.
"I'd blast the hell out of them," he stated.
"It's a total disaster. The people are going to come in ... so many of the people in the migration are strong young men," he said. "We're taking in people, we have no idea who they are."
Trump also had strong words about Hillary Clinton, who's showing her true colors in the crisis.
"Hillary Clinton refuses to say the words (radical Islam). She's as bad as he is," he said. "Although I'm not so sure about that. Can anybody be worse than what we have now?"
Ouch.
Donald Trump has been a steady voice insisting that the United States needs to stop accepting refugees from the Middle East because they pose a security threat to all of us.
Trump also laid some of the blame at the feet of Republicans for not doing anything, despite the fact that they control Congress.

Is that you, Tina?
What a cool story. It doesn’t surprise me, he seems to be aware of much that doesn’t make the headlines and helps when he can.
i still haven’t made up my mind. There isn’t one that I can get 100% behind that I can absolutely be comfortable knowing I am voting for the right man.
I am currently leaning Cruz. If Carly suddenly gained traction, I could vote for her without holding my nose. If I knew for sure Trump wouldn’t get in there and go all compassionate, I could get behind him. The rest? All nose-holders and some I’m not sure I could hold my nose, but the thought of Hillary will get me in there to vote against that hag.
If there ever was a case of a candidate “throwing it out there” and people “swallowing it whole” without “sniffing it first,” it’s Fiorina. Her track record is dismal!
As for Trump, to me he seems certainly tough, but fair. Compassionate? I can see that, but definitely not to the point of being taken advantage of.
I’m for Cruz first, but Trump is my *very* close #2. And I am not an idiot, and you deprecating anyone who supports Trump is not going to help your cause, whatever that may be.
Mr. Trump SPEAKS TRUTH!
I don’t have a cause other than to see all Progressives lose and STAY lost so that we can fix the mess they have made. I merely wish people would think a bit before swallowing everything a candidate says. It would be nice if we wouldn’t assume what candidates are thinking before hearing from them, then intelligently assess.
They should conscript everyone of these male refugees into a military unit and turn them around and drop them off in their home towns.
Let them defend themselves.
This is not a hit on Trump. But Hannity drives me nuts. He yaps 99% of the time he’s interviewing Trump. He is way too self absorbed. I would rather hear Trump than Hannity. I know exactly what Hannity is going to say before he even opens his yap.
Trump has been pretty consistent on saying let the Russians handle ISIS in Syria. We will bomb ISIS in Iraq and use the Kurds as our boots on the ground.
Working with Russia in a small capacity might stop a stronger bonding of Russia and Iran. It should still be considered.
bump for later
