You think questioning the objectivity of a person is worse than suggesting the United States incorporate a religious exam to enter the country? Can you please go back wherever it is you came from?

The judge comment was more HARMFUL to his campaign (sorry I was not clear in my previous statement/have corrected) than the muslim ban. Seems like 53% of America is in favor of the Muslim ban and 59% that "using profiling techniques to increase government surveillance on certain types of individuals" would make the country safer.

I guess you would rather that I, who has been legally in the country for almost 30 years (most of them as a citizen), leave than bringing in thousands of Syrian refugees, some of whom might be/become terrorists? Think about what you are suggesting in light of the tolerance and diversity that liberals say they espouse. I guess that tolerance only holds if I agree with your political views. Maybe the 53% of the country who agree on a temporary ban should leave too?

How Trump Threatened an Investigative Reporter, Attempting to Bribe Him With a Free Apartment

Wayne Barrett, Donald Trump's biographer, recalls an unusual offer from the billionaire mogul.

"So he said to me, 'Wayne, you don't have to live in Brownsville. I have plenty of apartments,'" Barrett recalls.

"And so, then, at another time, he started talking to me about how he had broken this other journalist by suing him and driving him into bankruptcy."

The Egregious Human Rights Record Of The Dictator Trump Praised Last Night

At a campaign in rally in North Carolina on Tuesday, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump revived his oft-repeated praise for former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. In a line he has used many times since he launched his bid for president last summer, Trump said Hussein should have been left in power because he “killed terrorists” without due process.

“He did that so good,” he said. “They didn’t read them the rights.”

He went on to claim, incorrectly, that he always opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Hussein’s regime was a financial and political state supporter of terrorism.

His government sponsored suicide bombers,

invaded Kuwait,

backed assassination attempts on foreign leaders,

killed more than 500 journalists, and

offered shelter to several known terrorist groups responsible for the killings of thousands of people.

Hussein also ordered the bombing of the Iraqi Kurdish community with chemical weapons — in violation of international law — and

authorized the use of chemical weapons after the 1980 invasion of Iran.

The use of these illegal gasses caused these communities to suffer from infertility, birth defects, cancer, and other ailments for many years after the attacks.

Boo, you can't have it both ways. You constantly say we shouldn't have invaded Iraq and overthrown Hussein. You obviously approved of him as well.

Only logical explanation I can come up with.

Don't think Gringrich wants to be VP as this age - said on an interview that he likes writing books, columns, etc. The impression I got was that VP was a lot of work - time he'd like to spend with his wife.

Donald Trump's History of Praising Dictators

Saddam

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump made headlines Tuesday night when he praised Saddam Hussein for his counterterrorism strategy while maintaining that the former Iraqi dictator was a "really bad guy."

"We shouldn't have destabilized Saddam Hussein, right?" Trump asked his supporters on Tuesday. "He was a bad guy, really bad guy, but you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good."

Vladimir Putin

After Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Trump as "talented" and the "absolute leader" in the GOP race for the White House back in December, Trump said that "sure" he liked Putin's remarks about him.

"When people call you 'brilliant' it's always good, especially when the person heads up Russia," Trump told the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

When reminded that Putin is a U.S. adversary who kills journalists, silences political foes and invades countries, Trump still did not criticize him.

"He's running his country and at least he's a leader, you know, unlike what we have in this country," Trump said. "I think our country does plenty of killing, also."

Kim Jong Un

The Republican presumptive nominee seemed to laud North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un at an Iowa rally in January for his ability to oust political enemies.

"If you look at North Korea, this guy, I mean he's like a maniac, okay?" Trump said. "And you've got to give him credit. "How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden ... he goes in, he takes over, and he's the boss," Trump said. "It's incredible. He wiped out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. I mean this guy doesn't play games.

And we can't play games with him."

Benito Mussolini

Trump defended his decision to re-tweet a Mussolini quote on NBC's "Meet The Press" in February, saying that "I want to be associated with interesting quotes" and that the origin of the quote did not make a difference.

"It's okay to know it's Mussolini," Trump said. "Mussolini was Mussolini... It's a very good quote. It's a very interesting quote... what difference does it make whether it's Mussolini or somebody else?"

Moammar Gadhafi

When asked last October if he believed the Middle East would be better today if Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein were still in power, the outspoken Republican said, "100 percent" and that "it's not even a contest." Trump reversed his stance in June to say that he would have supported Gadhafi's ousting with "surgical" U.S. airstrikes.

"I was for something, but I wasn't for what we have right now," Trump said on CBS's "Face The Nation."

The business mogul has also boasted that he "made a lot of money" from Gadhafi, whose regime was a known sponsor of terrorism.

1980s Chinese Communist Party

Trump made waves in March during a GOP presidential debate when he called the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, in which hundreds of protesters were killed as the People's Liberation Army enforced martial law, a "riot."

While he insisted that he did not endorse the killings of the pro-democracy demonstrators, he called the Chinese government "strong."

Trump creates more controversy with congressional GOP meetings

Donald Trump’s attempts to win over skeptical Congressional Republicans grew tense Thursday when Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake confronted the presumptive GOP presidential nominee over his incendiary comments about Sen. John McCain, according to a source familiar with the closed-door meeting.

Flake stood up for his fellow Arizona lawmaker by introducing himself to Trump as “the other senator from Arizona, the one who didn’t get captured,” referring to Trump’s criticism of McCain’s time as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War.

“Listen, I’m not part of this never Trump movement,” Flake said, according to the source, “But I’m in a very uncomfortable position where I can’t support you yet.”

According to the Washington Post’s account, Trump was the one who picked the fight, complaining about Flake’s criticisms. After their heated back and forth,

Trump reportedly threatened to go after Flake publicly and ensure his defeat in 2016 – which led the Arizona senator to remind Trump that he’s not actually going to be on the ballot in 2016.

While the gathering was not recorded, and we can’t say with certainty exactly who said what, Flake later told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson on camera that the story of the meeting “was reportedly accurately.” He added that his confrontation with Trump “was pretty intense.”

Remember, this was supposed to be a nice, friendly chat among Republicans, helping the party feel more comfortable with its presidential candidate. But even an informal get-together between GOP senators and Trump can be the basis for a new controversy.

After the meeting, several GOP senators were seen “emerging from an alley next to the gas station,” suggesting they weren’t exactly proud of their attendance at the Republican gathering.

Wait, it gets worse.

Trump’s meeting with Senate Republicans may have gotten a little ugly, but maybe he had better luck impressing House Republicans? The Washington Post’s report added this gem:

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) left the meeting worried about Trump’s grasp on the basics of the Cons ution. At a lunch with reporters afterward, he recalled that the candidate did not seem to know what he was promising to defend.

“I wasn’t particularly impressed,” Sanford said. “It was the normal stream of consciousness that’s long on hyperbole and short on facts. At one point, somebody asked about Article I powers: What will you do to protect them? I think his response was, ‘I want to protect Article I, Article II, Article XII,’ going down the list.”

There are seven articles to the U.S. Cons ution. There is no 12th.
