White House: Trump's Statement "Disqualifies" Him

[Thermodolia]

You can't be disqualified for shit like that, the White House is blowing smoke.

As Josh Earnest said, the president has a responsibility to speak up for the Constitution.

Still it doesn't disqualify him.

Except when it's inconvenient or embarrassing because of his own actions or policies, of course.

Obama has never done anything as bad as calling for banning Muslims from coming into the country.

That's a pretty low bar for him to have leapt, honestly.

White house discredited itself seven years ago...

Well, isn't that cute?

Methinks you have been listening to to much Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck

And maybe you have been watching too much tyt and msnbc...as well as every other major news source outside of fox

No but the most strict interpretation of the constitution says that we can't have "Obamacare".

The most strict interpretation is wrong and the Supreme Court has upheld Obamacare twice.

Face it...it is not pc and it is not nice but it would solve the terrorism issue. Most muslims aren't terrorists but most terrorists are muslim. That's why I like Trump, he will say whatever will solve the fucking problem and doesn't give a fuck who objects to it. If you don't think it would stop most terrorism in America then you are in denial...

I don't watch msnbc, it's garbage. But you should get out more your starting to turn red.

I know that.

He's not disqualified from the race, as has been said. If he were completely barred from running, that'd be entirely unconstitutional. Trump, despite being a bigoted populist, has as much right to run for president as Lawrence Leesig and Jim Gilmore.

Because banning drugs has definitely stopped drugs from coming into the USA. In case you didn't catch that banning Muslims from the USA WILL NOT stop most or any terrorism. What will stop terrorism? Education.

Your wife told me the same thing...

Snark is not a substitution for an argument. I myself am guilty of it sometimes, and I don't support Trump, but I do think it gets tiresome after a while to continue making light insults at people.

[Gauthier]

If anything it might make people vote for him more.

Especially those of anti-government persuasion.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Obama ordered the statement just to rile up the Tea Partiers so they make Trump the nominee?

Oh, somebody ate a clown in here!

Staythefout's only argument is, "Stop watching MSNBC".

It'd be bitterly ironic and hilarious if Trump ended up in the white house as a result.

Politics does little more than amuse me at this point.

Unless some major voter suppression gets pulled off, I'd like to see how Trump could possibly win offending just about every minority group in the nation.

Well the problem is that a lot of minorities and young people don't vote, and thus our interests are not considered.

Diebold could help.

I wasn't sure if this belonged in the Republican Primaries Megathread or if someone's already posted about it, but this seems to be an interesting development.

So according to the White House, Trump's recent statement about banning all Muslims from entering the country disqualifies him from running for the presidency, citing it as violating the oath every president must make. However, the White House hasn't officially banned him from running, as his campaign still seems to be in full speed. But say he were to get enough votes and won, then what? I'm not exactly sure, but the White House's statement seems like it'd be a pretty heavy blow to Trump support. What do you think, NSG? Is this the end to Trump's run?

If he wins, he wins. Minorities, especially hispanics, might riot, America may see some of the worse geopolitical, economic, and social policies of its days (and its literally been on the giving stick of genocide and oppression), and you could see a catastrophic dissolution of the union.

Oh, its not 1860's anymore? Still.

I believe that the contrary is true minority wise, and I know the young people in my area who can vote are attempting meager understanding of politics.

Forgive me if I am reluctant to respond to Staythefout's posts with thoughtful, carefully-worded critiques. As a rule of thumb, I leave that sort of thing for posters whose posting history does not consist in a large part of inane statements that border on self-parody and poor attempts at humour that border on lazy trolling.
