Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Brings up Waterboarding in ABC
For the fourth consecutive month, businessman Donald Trump leads the contest for the Republican presidential nomination, with his candidacy fuelled by a powerful anti-Washington mood among GOP voters, according to a new national poll by The Washington Post and ABC News.
“Long term, that is not something we will do or should do”, said GOP strategist Ed Rollins, who has worked for the past presidential campaigns of Republicans including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, in 2008, and former Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) in 2012.
“I have to stop and think about our home country because they have been so vocal to say they want to be the sole people on this earth and it’s their way or no way really”, the woman said. “I want a database for the refugees”, Trump said. Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who has largely avoided criticizing Trump throughout the 2016 campaign, said, “I’m not a fan of government registries of American citizens”. I have to be treated fairly.
“‘I know because I wrote it, ‘ he said of the council’s reaction, adding that if Mr. Trump had evidence of cheering, he should present it”. I have to be treated fairly.
“I want surveillance of these people that are coming in, the Trojan horse”.
Trump runs ahead of the large field with 32 percent support among registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. That is, until he received assurance that he would be treated fairly, upon which, he signed the pledge in September, saying “I will be totally pledging my allegiance to the Republican party and the conservative principles for which its stands”. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called Trump’s proposal for a database of Muslims “an outrageous and bigoted statement.” in a later tweet, Sanders insisted that, “We will not destroy ISIS by undermining the Constitution and our religious freedoms”. I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down – as those buildings came down, and that tells you something.
Donald Trump on Saturday tried to back away from his support for a government database to track Muslims in the United States, an idea that drew sharp rebukes from his Republican USA presidential rivals and disbelief from legal experts. We want to go with watch lists, we want to go with databases and we have no choice. As Politico pointed out, Trump’s strong words at Saturday’s rally follow even stronger remarks he made last week when he said he would “strongly consider” closing mosques as part of a response to last Friday’s deadly terrorist attacks in Paris that killed over 130 people and left hundreds more wounded.
“Maybe he should have been roughed up, because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing”, Trump said. “At a few point you have to ask yourself, is that the kind of country we are?” “I always find the people don’t want it”.
“They don’t use waterboarding over there”, he noted. I don’t know if you’ve seen with the cages, where they put people in cages and they drown them in the ocean and they lift out the cage.
