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.

That's a function of the Obama administration's policies -- they have accepted Muslim refugees, they have closed the door to Christian refugees.
Thank you for posting the entire statement.
The ONLY refugees America should allow in are Christian refugees!
NO MOSLEMS!
I agree. Unfortunately, 97% of Syrians admitted into the US in 2015 have been followers of the religion of pieces.
“It’s like incredible what’s going on.”
what is he....... “like” 18 years old????
this is the current TOPPER..
just say no to Mister Unreality Tee Vee

Trump was tough at first, now he is softening.”
Lying through his teeth at first
The cheap veener is now wearing off!!??
So are you going to ignore the fact that Cruz is for Syrian refugees coming to the United States?
“That’s a function of the Obama administration’s policies — they have accepted Muslim refugees, they have closed the door to Christian refugees.”
I understand that. I also understand Cruz is for Muslim and Christian refugees from Syria coming here.
I’ve already addressed it. Read the thread.
“Don’t you think that those who are elected in 2016 will understand what the people demand from them IF Trump wins the presidency? “
Probably about as much as those elected to Congress the past two elections did. The people gave them a repub house & senate and they did nothing with it.
Any president can reverse executive orders and make their own if they are so inclined. It depends on what they will do when in office. In order to have a good idea what they will do you have to look at their past histories and records. Not just what they say they are going to do. As we all know, candidates will promise you the moon.
Yes, just enforcing the immigration laws we have will go far. But you also have to be able to get the funding out of congress for building a wall and everything else you want to do. Without the co-operation of congress we have another president going rogue and issuing executive orders. There is more than needs to be done besides immigration. I think anyone outside of the GOPE is going to have issues with Congress.
But we don’t want a president who is constantly “reaching across the aisle” either. Cruz has already proven that he will go against the herd, his own party for what he believes. I couldn’t be sure of anything with Trump.
“are things that a majority of the voters want and if congress votes against Trump he will call them on it publicly. Won’t sit well with the voters in 2018 and we know that every congress critter goes in office thinking of their reelection.”
I have to disagree with you there. You have more confidence & belief in that than I do. This hasn’t been successful so far. Our representatives don’t seem to really care what the majority of us want and don’t seem afraid of not being re-elected in many cases. Once a senator is in office they are there for a long time. They don’t worry about what we think until the year they are up for re-election.
Standing up and calling them out on it doesn’t seem to motivate the public much. I can’t see how Trump, who is probably the most disliked is going to fare any better than the second most hated Ted Cruz and Cruz is better educated and equipped to handle the job IMO.
I think that the GOPE would co-operate with a Bush, Fiorina, or Rubio but not a Cruz or Trump.
“Yes. This video is definitely an eye opener. Especially after Cruz voted for the TPP/TPA.”
A perfect illustration of a point I made earlier. Let’s not talk about the video and how it makes Trump look. Let’s deflect the attention to Ted Cruz and his TPP/TPA vote so we don’t have to focus attention on Trumps rambling statements.
That’s a laugh! Cooperate with what?! Fiorina, Rubio and Jeb are RINOS. What the hell are they going to get done?! Keep living in fantasy world! I am shocked at some freepers here! I thought freepers were smarter than this! Trump is the only one that would get things done and the only one that could actually win!
Are you also going to ignore the fact that Cruz is for Syrian refugees coming into the United States? Seems I can’t get much of a response about this inconvenient truth.
No we are talking about what Trump said and there is nothing wrong with what Trump said. Nothing! He was right on point.
Oh please! You only wish! Trump is as tough as ever! He is a common sense man. Not a kook like some here on FR. I trust him more than I trust the GOPe. He is more competent than any of the other candidates by far!
the DONNIE just went BIRTHER relative to alleged Fellow Republican DONNIES ALLEGATION NOT MINE....... TED CRUZ
that places him em the PUNK LOSER COLUMN...
dont BE played for a chump!
There you go again. Trump is the ONLY one who can win! Trump is the ONLY one who can get things done!
I didn’t say I think people should vote for rinos like Fiorina, Rubio etc I said that the congress would co-operate with them. They are part of the GOPE and the GOPE are basically dems anyway. I wouldn’t vote for them any more than I would vote for Trump.
The congress is already full of rinos. Why wouldn’t they co-operate with other rinos?
You are so emotional you are not evening comprehending what people are posting. Calm down and back away from the “!”.
Talk about shocked, you should read how shocked some conservatives are here at FR that people would even consider voting for Donald Trump. We thought Freepers were smarter than this too. It works both ways.
