    I absolutely agree. However, it is well documented that Obama refused to ever use the term "Muslim Terrorist" even when referring to a known terrorist. He gave his reasoning directly one time in a CNN Town Hall:

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/28/politics/obama-radical-islamic-terrorism-cnn-town-hall/

    I believe the question to which you referenced has nothing to do with calling all Muslims terrorists, which is abhorrent to almost everyone on the Right just as it is to everyone on the Left. What it DOES ask, is who supports a president that does NOT continue Obama's policy of never referring to terrorists as Muslim terrorists. And from your statement above, as I read the question, you would answer YES.

    Again, to be fair, there was a logic to Obama's reasoning. However, eight years of that reasoning and walking on eggshells didn't buy us anything, much less good will with the Muslim extremists. It's time to call it as it is, and hope the mainstream, peace-loving Muslims start joining in with the rest of the world in denouncing those terrorists that claim to be acting in defense of Islam.

    I believe in calling a spade and spade ( nothing racist intended )... when it comes to radical Muslim terrorists.

    A domestic terrorist for instance is American.. like Timothy McVeigh.... whereas a Muslim terrorist is just that... Muslim.

    I do have issues with non-sympathethic Muslims.... ones who turn the other cheek on 9-11. I lived in Detroit in 2001 and I many times got a feeling of indifference from some in Muslim community about 9-11 or at least I perceived it that way.... Like the Muslim gas station owner raising his prices to exorbitant levels on the day after 9-11.

    We all just want the politicians to call a spade a spade when it comes to terrorist and forget the politics....And yeah McVeigh was an American terrorist and the Boston bombers were Muslim terrorist, either way in my view they are terrorist and should be dealt with accordingly. At that point they are enemy combatants and war time rules apply in my opinion....

    Protecting American citizens is of the most importance...

    If Trump could learn that TV ratings/presidential ratings aren't the end all and also and especially not come out daily with falsehoods in his daily rants/comments he might have a better chance with those ratings.

    His terrorism goes unreported remarks are the latest of his sometimes unsettling untruthful statements.

    It's really going to get unnerving if he starts saying ******** comments about our equally unstable world enemies like Kim Jong-Un of North Korea.

    If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he jumps.
    :roll:

    Dave please stop coming up with hypothetical things to worry about.
    Surely you have enough to fill a rant without starting every sentence "If Trump..."

    Maybe you should worry more about what will happen WHEN Iran manages to put a warhead in one of those missiles they've been testing. Be sure to thank your buddy Obama for our worst enemy having a shot at the nuclear toybox....

    Sorry Scott but Trump's instability and lack of truthfulness in his daily remarks gives me cause for concern for when the kitchen heats up later with true world crisis type decisions to be made.

    Especially when he doesn't trust anyone around him to know more about anything than he does.
