I think 14 of them should follow his example.
No prizes for guessing which one I'm excluding.  :D

this quiz might give you an idea..

i say "might" because while my first choice was exactly what i expected to get, the high % of compatibility with other candidates who i dislike surprised me.. it may be due to my using the "other" option and giving a few write in answers..

I think it's very interesting to hear how the media are trying to tell us exactly what to think about the candidates.

Maybe it's just me but I haven't heard or read of Trump saying anything against legal immigrants, women in general, or Muslims in general.  The press seems to want to conflate illegal immigrants with legal ones.  Did you see the recent news stories about the surge in illegal immigrants crossing the southern border?  The news articles all call them "immigrants".  Similarly, what Trump actually said about Muslims was that we have a problem with "radical" Muslims.  Kind of hard to disagree with that, and pretty clearly he wasn't referring to all Muslims.

This isn't to say that he's not a crass speaker with a lot of poorly informed opinions who probably isn't well suited to the Presidency...but it is annoying to see this willful twisting of the facts by the media and the at times overt message of "sorry people, you're not allowed to vote for him because we said so."

When he was asked the same question that just got Ben Carson into hot water, I believe Trump said that it would depend on the individual Muslim. Fair enough.
