To show that he was a serious candidate when he refuses to refute followers claim about the President

I would have respected him more if he took the time to respond the way John McCain did in 2008

I find it seriously incredulous that even after 7 years people still firmly believe all the nonsense these people are saying.
 

Either the people supporting him really don't know what he is... or THEY agree with him.... which is a sad statement about that electorate.

A very confused and sad statement about whom? Either the people supporting HIM....which Him? Really don't know what HE.....which HE? Or THEY....which THEY? With HIM....which HIM? Which is a sad statement about that ELECTORATE.....speaking of WHOM?

A very confused and useless posting.

They agree with him cause they have no idea what he stands for, they thought the same way about Obama now look at the mess we're in..

Yeah... too bad he wasn't able to completely clean up the cesspool W created.

Original blame for the "cesspool" goes to the 9/11 terrorists. In the midst of chaos and shock in America, W made a mistake when trying to protect America.

That is certainly the truth, on both sentiments. Some people are just confused.

If you are confused about QuickSilver's statement then try looking at the thread title, the "HE" being referenced is clearly T-R-U-M-P.

What a prime example of the impact a punctuation mark can have on the meaning of someone's remark. Trump, caught off guard by the first and inappropriate questioner at his Town Hall Meeting, asked, "We need this question??? The first one??". Then the audience laughed…even they got it. Then he went on to say that "we are looking into it". That was a dismissive answer which I saw as wanting to move on to more appropriate questions because time is of the essence on TV. He should have said, "We'll get to that later in the meeting". But Trump did not "refuse to refute".

You and the media are so eager to hear only what you want to hear. Happens all the time. Speaking of dismissing a question…why are 2 members here refusing to answer Bob's question? It was just a question of clarity. Asking someone to repeat or explain again is how we all learn.
 
Why didn't he correct the person? He had every chance to... Just like John McCain did.. OK... I'll answer my own question. Trump didn't correct the questioner for one of two reasons.. One being that he didn't want to upset his base following who actually believe that nonsense... or two, that he actually believes that crap himself. Neither option says very much for Trump.

At least John McCain.. who by the way, I do not agree with in the least on most of his ideology, had the honor and the class to set the record straight about his opponent.

Lara, it's what he didn't say, in effect by not correcting the ignorant one, he agreed with him or at least gave approval to the statement.

You mean you're asking me to clarify what I already said, just like Bob asked you? Sure, I don't mind at all. I said, "That was [Trump's] dismissive answer which I saw as wanting to move on to more appropriate questions because time is of the essence on TV." He should have clarified that he would get back to it later. I would imagine Trump wanted a little time to think before he speaks as that's a hot topic, and he didn't want to be misunderstood not misquoted as happens all too often.

umm hmm. :wink:

Sometimes people get all defensive and huffy, say "geesh" and leave the thread when someone simply asks a question for clarification. (I don't think that happened here....not that I can see.) What I see here in this thread is that BobF rattled off several questions then said someone's post was useless. That goes beyond simply asking a question, that's an insult.

Since it doesn't affect you, why the need to stir the pot?
 
And then sometimes a person doesn't know the answer. So they flounce out. (Instead of just saying "I don't know" or "I'll check and come back later" or even "I was mistaken".

I wasn't asking YOU to clarify anything... simply answer a question. It is doubtful Trump wanted time to think about anything given how strongly he expressed his birtherism in the past. NOW he had the chance to either agree with it.. or deny it.. and chose to ignore it. I believe for fear of alienating the following he has..
 
No AC... I have no idea what the thread I started is about... that's why I can't answer... lol!... Sometimes questions are so ridiculous they don't deserve an answer.
