I guess the 162 character limit prevents him from saying "I didn't suggest a database-a reporter did, and I said 'I would certainly implement that. There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases.'"

To be fair, in the video of the exchange it's pretty clear that Trump didn't really know what the reporter was talking about, and kept pivoting to the wall, etc. Like, "Yeah Yeah a database and systems to track illegals sounds swell, but let's get my Yuuge wall up first!"

Rubio's answer is weaselly enough to get away with anything because he never says "yes we should have a database" or anything else particularly definitive

I'm a white Ivy League rear end in a top hat from Australia, and I am required to: notify homeland security whenever I change addresses, ask homeland security whenever I want to do an internship, ask homeland security whenever I want to do anything that will result in me getting income, ask homeland security if it's ok to sneeze. They also required that I be ten-printed.

Of course they already do all of this stuff, and have all of these databases already. There's simply no way that they don't, when they keep all of this on me.

Every election since I was a child has become crazier and crazier. 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and now 2016, where we have a inherited-money billionaire and reality TV star best known for his sentient hair and complete lack of class portraying himself as the ultimate outsider everyman candidate with stated policies to deport all Mexicans, build a huge Wall of Mexico, cut taxes to the bone especially on the rich, get involved in another Middle East conflict, and start lists/databases/whatever you want to call them on Muslims.

And he's the GOP frontrunner by a significant margin with no clear indication of stopping anytime soon.

Exactly. All of Donald Trump's big plans for America are like this. Other than THE WALL, his national security policies seem to amount to "Do exactly what we are doing now, but more and also better."

Can't pivot off of a lamestream media attack.

The pivot was supposed to be off of Trump's Carson attack, but Hannity told everyone to grow up, then Paris happened.

Awesome.

This is what I mean about Trump getting more politically savvy. He saw that he got backlash and that he didn't have enough support when he said database, so now he's pivoting/spinning to a "list" and blaming it on a reporter (read: the media).

Trump is getting really good at this, it's scary.

Which is true. In the extremely low chance of a brokered convention, Walker is a reasonable compromise candidate, making his chance of being the nominee non-zero.
loving Walker, seriously? Nobody likes that rear end in a top hat, he was polling at literally 0% when he dropped out.

If you're gonna go with a "compromise candidate", how about one that more than 0% of people want?

Trump uses a shock strategy like a morning radio show host - say/do something absolutely insane, bask in the attention, repeat. That works great against the GOP field since they're a bunch of wound-up manchildren who get mad if they can't yell too. The problem for Trump is that the whole shock radio act doesn't work if you just acknowledge he's a raving lunatic and be dismissively calm. That kind of poo poo enrages people like Trump, because it starves their desire for exhibitionist attention but also rubs a bit of salt in the wound by treating him like a joke, like laughing at a kid throwing a tantrum.

Clinton's really good at the whole calm dismissiveness thing.

Yeah, pretend I linked the "I'M DUMB AND SO GODDAMNED CRAZY" cartoon here, that's Hillary vs. Trump for ya.

On Registering Muslims and Closing Mosques:

Rubio: “It’s not about closing down mosques. It’s about closing down any place — whether it’s a cafe, a diner, an internet site — any place where radicals are being inspired. The bigger problem we have is our inability to find out where these places are, because we’ve crippled our intelligence programs, both through unauthorized disclosures by a traitor, in Edward Snowden, or by some of the things this president has put in place with the support even of some from my own party to diminish our intelligence capabilities. So whatever facility is being used — it’s not just a mosque — any facility that’s being used to radicalize and inspire attacks against the United States, should be a place that we look at."

Vote Rubio to smash the unions commies Muslims!
