Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Monday he supported the use of US ground troops to fight Islamic State militants in the Middle East.

Speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, the billionaire businessman said it would take American soldiers to target the militant group, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

"They have great money because they have oil," Trump said. "Every place where they have oil I would knock the hell out of them.

"I would knock out the source of their wealth, the primary sources of their wealth, which is oil," he told MSNBC. "And in order to do that, you would have to put boots on the ground. I would knock the hell out of them, but I'd put a ring around it and I'd take the oil for our country."

FASCISM violates the US Constitution... as well as Socialism does..
you know... since they are the SAME FRIGGEN THING...Duh..

Please explain what is wrong with the strategy of denying ISIS revenue from oil? TIA.

[jpsb]

Works for me.

Me too.

I don’t give Fox the credit of believing it was about issues. I think it was about making themselves the story. By attacking Republicans (remember they asked Jeb a gotcha question too) they cement their bona fides as a “legitimate” news organization with the rest of the drive by media. More importantly it gets people talking about the Fox hosts. Anyone who didn’t know who Megyn Kelly is surely does now.

He had me at “take the oil”.

Why giveca trillion dollar bank account under the ground BACK to terrorists after US servicemen have bled and died...potentially TWICE, to take the same ground?

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is Obama’s game, not Trump’s.

It’s UN-Constitutional to STEAL another country’s assets..
Declaring War on them is NOT however..

IF they are a country.. declaring war on an idea is STUPID...
Meaning not possible..

Multi-National Groups are not countries..
You can declare WAR on a group, cabal or Junta..

Problem is.. OUR Federal Givernment is a Junta.. Un-Constitutional and ILLEGAL..

Let do it the Roman way, from wiki

Spartacus died during the battle, but Appian also reports that his body was never found.

Six thousand survivors of the revolt captured by the legions of Crassus were crucified, lining the Appian Way from Rome to Capua

That would not be PC but it would send a message.

Actually it's NATIONALISM (I can use big font too). While Fascism is nationalist, not all nationalism is fascist. By calling it that you trivialize real Fascism. In a real Fascist state Free Republic would not exist and we would all be in prison or dead.

[Logical me]

Hosepipe you are so full of crap. Trump would fight a war the only way it can be done effectively.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

LOL, Start over and evolve right. I’ll vote for that. Beats watching heads cut off or people burned alive.

[Hugin]

It’s UN-Constitutional to STEAL another country’s assets..

Really? What Article and Section is that in?

[jpsb]

"WHEN Givernment and Business MERGE .. it’s called Fascism"

That is my definition too. However taking ISIS oil is not fascist it's smart.

It’s UN-Constitutional to STEAL another country’s assets..

When do we give back Florida?

[Kickass Conservative]

Trump is just Running so he can get a bigger Airplane. LOL

Trump IS indeed a Fascist.. by the book, completely..
Not kind of or more or less... but EXACTLY a Fascist...

He is doing exactly what Mussolini proposed... AND DID..
If you agree with him, then YOUR a Fascist as well...

No skin off my nose.... be one..
BUT DO NOT tell me your a U.S. Constitutionalist.. you’re NOT..

Neither is he.. NO DEMOCRAT IS.. OR they wouldn’t BE A DEMOCRAT..

[hosepipe]

In a real Fascist state Free Republic would not exist and we would all be in prison or dead.

You’re Silly... America is not a Fascist State ...... YET..
But Trump is a Fascist.. and is proposing Fascism..

IF you don’t see it... you are DUMB to Fascism...
It’s legal to promote Fascism, as he does, he can’t help it...
WHY?....... because he is a Fascist..
He went to Fordham and Wharton... HE knows what Fascism “IS”..

YOU DON’T.. which is what he’s banking on..
That Conservatives DO NOT know what Fascism “IS”...
Appears he is right.. if he can get away here at FR..

[Hugin]

I know very well what Fascism is. At it’s heart is a single Party state with no opposition allowed. Where has Trump ever supported such a thing?

[xzins]

I agree. I’d knock the hel out of them, and then I’d give it to the Kurds for a cut to cover my expenses.

[mlizzy]

He is such a pant-load. I cannot believe a slew of "conservatives" actually like this guy - just because he lacks a "vocal filter" and spews out whatever comes to his mind, good or bad. "Oh, he's so brave"! No he's not, he's just a knucklehead. A rich one.

SMH; I agree with you...
