the piece of shit wants to torture.....maybe cheney could be his running mate?
The Republican candidate seemed to legitimize the use of torture adding, they dont use waterboarding over there. They use chopping peoples heads off, they use drowning.
A 2014 report by the Senate Intelligence Committee found that waterboarding and other similar tactics used by the CIA were ineffective and at no time did the CIAs coercive interrogation techniques lead to the collection of imminent threat intelligence.
Trump also sought to clarify his comments on using a database to track Muslims in America for the second straight day.

(63,221 posts)Can we just end this joke of his campaign already? There is no way that this idiot is anywhere near qualified to be president of the US.

(63,221 posts)Really? I kind of think he's running as a lark. I doubt the GOP establishment will ever let him be their candidate.

(14,577 posts)now I think he's taking it as far as he can. Like remember that movie Armegeddon with Bruce Willis? Remember when Steve Buschemi straddled the nuclear warhead? I think Donald gets turned on my it, just wants to feel the power.
And the campaign is definitely NOT a joke to the crazy racist wing of the GOP. They haven't had someone like Trump since George Wallace ran. These people are dangerous because their whole reason for life is based on hating other people.

Later in the same ABC show, Carson, a former neurosurgeon, was asked if he would support Trumps call to bring back the controversial interrogation technique. He said: I agree that theres no such thing as political correctness when you are fighting an enemy who wants to destroy you.
