The Future President, Donald Trump

Trump is going to get slaughtered by Hillary I keep hearing.

Was your question ever answered?

Yes, when I said that the only minority Trump has even approached attacking are muslims, which is justified until/unless the jihad against us is ended

I'll bite. What part of tRump is moderate?

he believes in the equality of the sexes and in empowering women

There's a lot vacuous nothings on that list so lets pick one:

Quote:

he believes in the equality of the sexes and in empowering women

Considering his remarks on and about women, point out any details he's listed anywhere on he how he'd facilitate "equality of the sexes and .... empowering women".

When did the Clinton's attack a minority?

 Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote that “it’s surprising that the Clinton campaign has been so aggressive in keeping the race issue alive.” He postulated a few theories. “The charitable explanation would be that the Clintons are, in terms of their political position, simply disoriented,” Robinson wrote. “They are accustomed to Bill Clinton’s campaigns, in which African American support was pretty much assumed.” Yet there were two less charitable theories as well. “It could be that the idea is to engage Obama in so much tit-for-tat combat that his image as a new kind of post-partisan politician is tarnished.” Then Robinson came to the Sister Souljah proposition. “Is it possible that accusing Obama and his campaign of playing the race card might create doubt in the minds of the moderate, independent white voters who now seem so enamored of the young black senator?”

Indeed, after flinging mud at Obama for weeks, the Clintons turned the tables and claimed to be the victims of misguided, racially tinged attacks–coming from Obama! Bill alleged that the Obama campaign had called Hillary “a racist.” Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights pioneer and Clinton supporter, cited “a deliberate, systematic attempt on the part of some people in the Obama camp to really fan the flame of race and really try to distort what Senator Clinton said.” Added Charlie Rangel: “How race got into this thing is because Obama said ‘race.'” (Rangel also accused Obama of writing about his adolescent drug experimentation in order to “sell books.”)

The confrontation seemed to be helping neither candidate, which is likely why Obama called a truce and Clinton accepted. The hope is that from now on, as evidenced by the surprisingly civil debate in Nevada, the Democratic campaign will stay above the fray. But don’t count on it. Hillary hasn’t had a “Sister Souljah” moment, but she also might not need one. Courting African-American voters, in South Carolina and elsewhere, and accusing the Obama campaign of playing the race card while employing racial arguments against Obama–by her campaign and by unscripted surrogates–could be seen as a textbook example of Clinton-style triangulation.

On social media, Clinton’s campaign made the new line—“When women talk, some people think we’re shouting”— her message of the day. Her team posted it on her Twitter feed at 8:30 Friday morning, two hours before her speech to the DNC forum, as a rebuke to “those who tell her to ‘stop shouting’ on issues that matter.” The quote also went up on her Facebook page and her campaign website, under the headline, “Hillary Clinton Just Said Something Women Have Been Thinking for Years.” The next day, at a Democratic dinner in Iowa, Clinton repeated the applause line: “I’ve been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence. Well, I haven’t been shouting. But sometimes, when a woman speaks out, some people think it’s shouting. But I won’t be silenced, and I hope you won’t be either.”

Clinton doesn’t use Sanders’ name when she tells this story. She doesn’t have to: Everyone who saw the debate or heard about it knows she’s talking about him. She’s using the story to bond with women, to paint Sanders as a patronizing old fart, and to portray herself as a victim.

Let’s be clear: This isn’t what happened. During the debate exchange, Sanders answered O’Malley with the same point about “raising our voices.” Sanders has been giving this answer for years. He did it in July, after an O’Malley super PAC ad attacked him (“We have been yelling and screaming at each other about guns for decades,” said Sanders). He did it again in August, after a male surrogate for Clinton attacked him (“I can get beyond the noise and all of these arguments and people shouting at each other”). He did it again in October, after the mass shooting in Roseburg, Oregon (“People on both sides of this issue cannot simply continue shouting at each other”). Sanders gives this answer to everyone.

The charitable explanation of Clinton’s behavior is that she sincerely perceived Sanders’ rebuke during the debate as sexist. But if that were true, you’d expect her to have said so in her first accounts of the exchange. She didn’t. She waited more than a week before embellishing the story. She prepared it as a sound bite for social media, and she unveiled it at a women’s forum. And it worked, so she’s still using it.

Enough. Sanders’ record as a feminist is as good as Clinton’s. No honest reading of his career or his comments about guns can construe him as a sexist. Clinton is trying to connect with women who have felt bullied by men, and to turn them against Sanders, by smearing him. And what’s true of racism and anti-Semitism is just as true of sexism: The more seriously you take the real thing, the more you should revile people who use it as a fraud.

Donald Trump made a drastic call on Monday for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski clarified that the ban would apply to "everyone," including tourists, according to ABC. He also noted that Trump would discuss it further in a speech Monday night in Mount Pleasant, S.C

"Great surveillance and vigilance must be adhered to," said Trump in an additional statement Lewandowski provided to CNN. "We want to be very fair but too many bad things are happening and the percentage of true hatred is too great. People that are looking to destroy our country must be reported and turned in by the good people who love our country and want America to be great again."
