Again, that's not new. His earlier statement also was that he would do waterboarding and "a hell of a lot worse".

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...debate-torture

But he's been talking about bringing back at least waterboarding for a while now.

There is good and there is evil. This is exactly the sort of thing that points that up.

Are you trying to squelch my outrage?

Trying to shift it maybe. The object of our outrage should more properly be directed toward the mouth breathers who support Trump because he says things like this.

"He's just saying what we're all thinking."

Saw the first Trump bumper sticker on a young latino's car out here on the Left Coast.

It said, "F*#K TRUMP 2016"

Someone sez, "I like Trump, he sez what he thinks."
The logical response, "He's an arrogant vacuous asshole with nothing of real substance to offer other than his massive ego, and you are a total fucking moron for buying it. I spoke my mind, are you now my friend?"

Comments like this is what makes Trump a real winner.

In Myrtle Beach, Mr. Trump cited polls that showed him having the most support on the economy, national security and immigration. “The only thing I’m a little weak on,” he said, “is my personality, but who the hell cares?”

The regular candidates are the same assholes...a pathetic group.

All the candidates are selling snake oil.
