Thanks much for posting that bit from the townhall meeting.
I was about to do the same thing as an example of a typical Trump supporter.
The claim now is that he "didn't hear the question".
After the event, several reporters asked Trump why he didn't challenge the questioner's assertions. Trump did not answer.
But Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager, later told CNN that the candidate did not hear the question about Obama being a Muslim.
"All he heard was a question about training camps, which he said we have to look into," Lewandowski said. "The media want to make this an issue about Obama, but it's about him waging a war on Christianity."
War on Christianity?
And shouldn't someone planning to run for President be sure they know what question they're answering? It reminds me of a scene in the Richard Pryor/Jackie Gleason movie "The Toy".
"Do you know who you're posing for a picture with, Senator?
"Why...no. I don't."
"You're standing next to the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan."
(Senator ducks away while covering his face.)
