George Takei challenges Donald Trump to go to lunch to discuss marriage equality

"Star Trek" star George Takei is setting a course for Donald Trump, hoping to reverse the “Apprentice” mogul’s opposition to gay marriage.

Takei, 74, said Thursday the two have a tentative lunch date set for April after they agreed to discuss the hot-button issue over hot plates in a top Manhattan restaurant.

“Next time I'm in New York, Mr. Trump, I might take you to Jean Georges for lunch, and maybe we can discuss marriage equality,” Takei proposed during an “Apprentice” conference call with reporters this week.

“You would be the perfect guy to teach me,” Trump responded. “You have a deal.”

I wish George didn't give him this out. He's making it too easy for Trump the Asshole.

Set up cameras, record the whole thing, do a side commentary with quick inserts by the chef as to how the dishes are prepared, and put it on TV....

Now, all we'd need is a catchy title that combines DEBATE and FOOD.

He completely wrecked his brand by embracing birtherism and bigotry and it was unnecessary. I know the guy wants to be President but this was not the way to do it. I understand the train of thought he followed or that the consultant he hired followed. THere was a Democratic incumbent who he was not going to unseat so if he wanted to run for President this time, he needed the 'pug nomination and to get it, he had to try to get the Teabaggers behind him and that was where he ended up in a bad place. Historically he has not been like this.

Lets see what happens.
