    Wrong I said I did find that statement offensive, if true.

    It's not so much what he says that bothers me as much as what he doesn't know.

    Texxx answer my question.

    Tell me explicitly where my premise or conclusion and the line drawn between the two is invalid.

    Trump states that thousands upon thousands of Muslims in Jersey City were celebrating 9/11 the day of.

    Therefore a Trump supporter who lives in Jersey would obviously find his claim credible as he is a Trump supporter. Since there are only 'thousands upon thousands' of Muslim TOTAL that live in Jersey City, a Trump supporter would rationally come to the conclusion that at the very least MOST Muslims in Jersey City are terrorist sympathizers and lovers(if they are willing to CELEBRATE a terrorist attack).

    Great, you found one Trump statement offensive. That's a start. So while you weren't offended by Trump's statement about Mexican's being rapists.

    Perhaps we will learn whether you find his statements about Jewish people, Native American's, or his creepy statement about his own daughter to be offensive?

    Trump said some illegals were rapists. Factually true. He didn't say all Mexicans - that was your ad-lib.

    Don't exaggerate

    Sorry if this has been posted, but Lewis really states the case of this candidate's non-stop dishonesty after Trump's latest tantrum against the media.

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/01/opinions/donald-trump-tantrum-media-role-louis/index.html

    "Trump routinely and repeatedly says many, many things that are simply untrue. Not only were members of the press justified in skeptically asking Trump to prove he made the donations he'd boasted about, they -- we -- are especially required to verify any of the candidate's assertions, because they so often turn out to be at odds with the facts."
    ...
    "Cynics might say that Trump's no different from other candidates, and that all politicians tell lies. That may be. But the size, frequency and brazenness of Trump's are so off the charts that they have drawn considerable commentary.
    'The thing about Trump is that he's so blasé about lying, and does it so frequently, that people tend to forget how many made-up facts they've heard from him,' wrote Rob Garver, a longtime Washington-based reporter, in The Fiscal Times."
    ...
    "When The Huffington Post assigned five reporters to scour the record of one of Trump's presidential debate performances, the team concluded: 'It took us hours, but in all, we found 71 separate instances in which Trump made a claim that was inaccurate, misleading or deeply questionable. That's basically one falsehood every 169 words, or 1.16 falsehoods every minute.' "
    ...
    "Trump may not enjoy the media scrutiny that comes with being a candidate for president, but it is the job of a free press to bring truth to light."


    You can say all politicians lie, but for criminy's sake, the dude is literally off the charts. It's like pathology He's spitting more falsehood than anything else, every time he opens his offensive pie hole.

    You have a problem reading. Here's what I wrote (quoting Trump):

    I then wrote:

    To which you then responded (see above, but quoted below):

    Clearly you added the qualifier "some" illegals were rapists. And then you added the word "all" to my comment. So in addition to your apology to falsifying statements made by Trump and myself (seems something you do often).

    And still wondering when you will share you thoughts on Trumps other offensive statements, about Jewish people, about Native Americans, and about his creepy thoughts about his own daughter?

    It almost seems you are afraid to acknowledge his offensive statements...

    Knock yourself out posting Clinton in any of the Clinton threads. This thread is about Donald Trump. Please stay on topic.

    The thing is Trump actually used the "some" qualifier himself. He just used it to say the "some" were good people. He also added that he "assume(d)" that, implying he doesn't know for sure.

    You can try to downplay that statement as much as you want, but that was clearly trump saying exactly what he said. "some, I assume are good people" and the rest, meaning not some, but the opposite of some, are criminals, drug dealers and rapists.

    Exactly. It's quite telling that he can't stay on topic.

    He's reconciled himself to voting for a half-smart proto-fascist. Not something he'll proudly tell his children about, I predict.

    Texxx still won't admit that he is a Trump supporter now. It's sad. Stop lying to yourself.

    Tex is conservative, many conservatives don't like Trump, why do you assume he does?
