Donald Trump on Saturday responded to a question from CNN about whether Muslims pose a danger to the country, saying: "I love the Muslims. I think they're great people."
The Republican presidential front-runner made the comment after addressing high school students here at their homecoming Saturday night.
During a question-and-answer session with students, Trump was unable to avoid being asked about the latest political controversy dogging his campaign: his decision not to correct a supporter this week who called President Barack Obama a Muslim.
One student told Trump that she considered Muslim-Americans to be an important segment of the country. They asked whether the billionaire businessman would consider putting a Muslim in his Cabinet or on his ticket.
"Oh, absolutely," Trump responded. "No problem with that."

Pandering, I thought was not his trump card. Where have you been?
To: goodnesswins
hahaha....Trump is a master at Alinskying....now, methinks he is practicing Taquiya LOL! My first thought. Trump is playing reverse taquiya. Sort of like saying "Nice doggy." to a rabid pit pull as you slowly reach around for a baseball bat to bash its muzzle in.

Not pandering.
It was a wise political move and a truthful one.
He is trying to be elected President and does not need angry Islamists attacking him verbally and literally over nothing much.
Steelfish, you may get your wish made evident repeatedly on FR and Trump may not be President. But your eyes see things differently than mine do.

Instead of opening yet another can of worms he decided to defuse it, just like the Carly face comment.

I observe Trump making a common sense, low-cost campaign and is still taking a yuge amount of flak in place of my preferred candidate.
Leading in this fight against those destroying America is not an easy fight. DT said he knew that going in.

To: Ethan Clive Osgoode
Many Muslims are great people. I just wish they would stay out of her, and stay in a country that aligns with their ideology.
To: ScottWalkerForPresident2016
So calling someone a Muslim is not correct? It is a slur? If I were a Muslim I’d be a little upset that calling me a Muslim is a racial slur. Pretty amazing.

To: ScottWalkerForPresident2016
What do people here expect him to say? This was a Trump like statement and it lays this muzzie thing to rest.
If Trump would have done anything different he would have been drummed out of the race.
What do you think Cruz would do?
Would he say. I do not like or trust Muslims and wish them to be gone. Sounds great to us around here, but get real.
How long do you think the media would take to bury him?

"No, I would not put a Muslim in my cabinet" is the end of the candidacyWhy??
Are you suggesting that Trump fears the political consequences of saying what he believes??

Was your intention ironic, when you posted this cartoon in a thread where so many Trump supporters are commending him for giving the politically correct answer to a question??

Just reading your posts lowers one's IQ, FreeReign. Fortunately, I've got a lot to spare, and I'll cease while I'm ahead.
Unfortunately for you, you have to read your own posts.
It's probably a lot like pro football's CTE problem... LOL! :)
