[LiberalElite]

Urbandale, Iowa (CNN)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.

1. Now they will really call him a liberal now.

Is this the best he can do?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

2. He's said that about the Mexicans and the Chinese too....

Nobody buys it.

[PatSeg]

36. And "The Blacks"

He usually adds how much THEY love him too. What a classy guy!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

40. Oh yeah, and he's going to get the women's vote too.

[PatSeg]

42. He's going to be so great

on women's issues, you won't believe it!!!

[jberryhill]

3. Just like he loves Mexicans and China

This is one guy you sure don't want to take a shine to you.

[trillion]

4. It the word Jackass allowed on DU?

[7962]

12. Yes. Unless you call one of US one!

[Maynar]

26. All words are allowed

Praise Jeebus!

[tclambert]

5. I wish he'd learn some new adjectives.

His limited vocabulary really irks me.

[madaboutharry]

6. These are his most used words:

Beautiful, unbelievable, amazing, incredible, Trump, Trump, and Trump.

[murielm99]

7. You forgot one:

YOOOOUGH!

[world wide wally]

8. Terrific

[ashling]

9. Its enough

to make your head spin !

[William Seger]

14. I think "believe me" would be right up there

... since he says it about every other sentence. Given how often he tries to weasel out of things he's said, he's wasting his breath.

[Sanity Claws]

29. Lousy is another favorite of his

[ancianita]

35. Also "I'm gonna ___ the biggest, best"! It's street con rhetoric.

[TexasBushwhacker]

41. And "Loser" eom

[PatSeg]

37. It is much like his temperament

He has the vocabulary of a nine-year-old. He repeats the same adjectives over and over again.

[Grassy Knoll]

10. Fox Noise will now claim libruls are to blame...

for the hate and islamaphobia. And Claim Trump is a uniter.

[Monk06]

11. You can't love mooslimes (Freeper word for muslims). RimJob will call off his Trump bromance

if the Donald keeps up this crazy talk.

[progree]

13. At least he didn't say, "I love them Mohammedans" nt

[rusty quoin]

15. It does not matter what he says. The base will support him.

We have seen this before. Remember that evangelicals thought that the Mormon religion was a cult, yet they got behind Romney in 2012. They are all about hating liberals and gay people. They like black people like Justice Thomas and those on Fox who back them up, so in that way they back black people.

So Trump who may have been the opposite of their values in the past, only needs to insult those who they hate now. Hatred is a great motivator.

[Monk06]

18. The Freepers are already bragging that Trump is playing n-dimensional chess with his subterfooooge

[rusty quoin]

20. Well, to me it's one dimensional, and it's simply hate. There is nothing sophisticated about it.

[Monk06]

23. That's what I said if you had an irony organ

[rusty quoin]

24. I have that organ. i knew what you meant. I was trying to emphasize it.

[Monk06]

45. I guess I'll have to work on my hypersensitivity organ lol

[leftynyc]

25. And New Yorkers are laughing

At the stupidity of anyone who buys that Trump is a religious conservative. Only a complete imbecile could believe that which explains the freeper support. He knew how easy it would be to fool them and he was right. They're humping a adulterous thrice married mob connected casino owner and think they have a moral high ground. It's delicious.

[madashelltoo]

16. T-Rump's love is hollow!

He gives this same answer every time he's pressed.

[Monk06]

19. Yeah but does he CHERISH Muslimbs ? N/T

[Lychee2]

21. Did you just reference your own previous post?

I read it, but I don't see what it has to do with his giving the "same answer" every time.

I mean, he's not like Jimmy McMillan, former candidate for NYC mayor, who answered every question on any subject by eventually saying, "The rent is too damn high."

[secondwind]

22. Reminds me of Ann Romney's declaration.. "I love women!" These people are all the same.. n/t

[Maynar]

27. Ann Romney is gay?

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but..

[Enrique]

28. and they love him

everybody loves him, it's amazing! People love him so much you wouldn't believe it!

[PatSeg]

39. Ha, ha!

"Tremendous!"

[Chemisse]

30. Right. And 'The Muslims' love him too, I'm sure.

[Gothmog]

31. Trump is an idiot

[writer not writing]

32. I expect excuses from Trump, but not from Nate Silver

smh

[underthematrix]

33. So the NAZI with the flying yellow hair

is easily intimidated by blowback. Let's keep it up folks.

[IronLionZion]

34. Hi supporter said we need to get muslims out of our country

which is a level of bigotry that goes way beyond immigration or anything else so far.

If you don't know what's wrong with anything Trump supporters have said, just change the word Muslim to Jew, and remember what happened in 1930's-40's Germany. They never campaigned on killing anyone. They just wanted to define who is a German and keep the foreigners out.

[sakabatou]

38. He also loves the "blah" people.

[jwirr]

43. I hope all Muslim's do not take the literally. Trump loves

Trump, period.

[brooklynite]

44. This article omits his followup line...

“You have radicals that are doing things. I mean, it wasn’t people from Sweden that blew up the World Trade Center, Jake,”

[sofa king]

46. The article "the" suggests you're lying, The Don.

When one is a a disgusting bigot, referring to groups of people as "the" anything usually means the speaker is trying to identify them as a social out-group, a part of the population that a guy like The Don is not a part of and thinks it's okay to hate.

Furthermore, he knows that a large subset of his audience will automatically understand that and agree with it.

47. Trump camp adopts “keep hope alive” as new slogan

Trump camp adopts “keep hope alive” as new slogan
… Says it captures silver spoon's appeal to those seeking to recreate themselves

The campaign of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump announced Monday that it’s adopting “keep hope alive” as its new mantra.

The catchphrase previously served as the slogan for one-time Democratic presidential hopeful Jesse Jackson, who also unsuccessfully pursued the nation’s highest office in 1984 and 1988. It will complement the Trump team’s existing “Make America Great Again” catchphrase, rather than replace it, according to campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.

“We feel like the new saying connects with our core supporters,’” said Lewandowski, who was tagged as Trump’s top political advisor after the departure of Roger Stone - the Reality TV personality’s longtime friend and advisor.

“Our polls indicate we do very well with Americans who think the truth is whatever they can convince others to believe,” Lewandowski said. “This new slogan speaks to their universal desire for a mulligan. Regardless of whether you’re a corporate life form embracing a new business name to escape the past – like say Comcast and Xfinity – or an individual who has made some mistakes like Ron Artest."

Artest, a former basketball star, adopted the name “Metta World Peace” after his role in a 2004 brawl between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons and their fans.
