Who cares about the dumb reporter thing, what I want to know is, how is Trump going to keep women safe when they're getting healthcare, protection from domestic abuse, etc.

So far he has been eerily silent! Almost cowardly, one might say.

In fact the FBI warned about the possibility of this kind of thing months ago - isn't this right in Trump's ballpark? A potentially thwartable terrorist attack on US soil? I mean I can understand the other establishment republicans being afraid to talk about it because of their compromised interests, but I thought Trump was above that? I thought he told it like it was?

Maybe he's just a coward after all.

I have no idea what you are saying in your two posts. Why isn't Trump talking about protecting women from terrorist attacks while they are being domestically abused? Is that your question?

How will he keep women safe while acquiring those services (healthcare, etc) when there is clearly a risk of a terrorist attack at the service providers (see: The FBI warnings, the recent Colorado Springs attack)? This is the kind of thing he usually mentions, see: the Paris shootings.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Donald Trump protects women from terrorist attacks every day.

When's the last time you seen a terrorist attack in the beds of a Trump hotel?

I guess you'd have to look at his stance on guns on his website.

I'm guessing that this is about the Planned Parenthood shooting? If you are looking for a specific stance on Planned Parenthood shootings then I don't think you'll find that from any candidate on any side. A stance on guns and gun control is the closest you're going to get.

He'd protect American and Slavic women from terrorist attacks in the Lincoln Bedroom every night of his administration.

Sometimes even with his wife.

Hmm you seem to think I'm talking about a policy stance? That's not really what I said - what I'm looking for is some kind of comment. Trump loves to comment on things, maybe you've noticed. Unless you think there's nothing for a frontrunner politician to say on the matter?

As a side note, I love that mental health has become a subclause of gun control when it comes to policy.

Ok. I get it now. I don't think he's going to say anything because it won't do any good. He's commenting on the attacks in Paris because it proves his point. Commenting on a domestic gun attack by an American in America is likely already covered under his existing ideology on guns, would not be a new argument in any way, and would just be an annoyance as people claim that he hates women because some rear end in a top hat happened to shoot women with a gun.

Basically, what happened is not a new event. It's a thing that happens all of the time, and the fact that it happened at a Planned Parenthood doesn't make it any different than any other time someone shoots a group of people. The debate on this event has already been taking place before it even happened.

There is one way to stump the trump, and it is the way that Republicans will never know: with gratitude and kindness.

The only thing that can stump the Trump *is* Trump. When he's done winning the Republican primary he needs to turn around and tack towards the political center so he can win the general election, all the while fighting against what Republican Primary trump has been saying.

What if the trump plan is not to get popular via the republican primary and then when the establishment gets rid of him to use that popularity as a platform for a third party run?

what if the trump plan is to turn the GOP into his own party? He is at least running on a anti-establishment platform that he cannot drop or even soften. Maybe he will try and change the party from the top down?

I think Trump will just ignore this particular shooting until it drifts from our nation's collective consciousness in a week or so. This is America! We have a loving school shooting almost every month, and crazies attacking shopping malls, theaters, and medical centers on a pretty regular basis.

The shooter didn't even kill any pregnant women. This story is your standard gun violence tale, and now is not the time to discuss gun violence.
