Gun ownership is a right of every law abiding citizen so not sure what you think Clinton is going to do on that score, no president can meddle with the constitution in that way. Amazes me why anyone with a pathological dislike of guns would choose to move to America

If mud slinging is the measure of how rattled one is, then surely that puts Trump at the Summit of Flustered Recreants.

First it was "Mexican" judges, now it's Muslim judges:

Ah, so Trump's strategy (to say something outrageous about a group of people then claim they are biased against him because he was rude to them) is being extended to the judiciary and he's going to claim he would never get a fair hearing due to the number of judges that are not old WASP men?

No clue if this true..likely not...but if so...Trump clearly has no familiarity with the 12th an 22nd amendments to the Constitution. Nor, for that matter, how detested Bush is. Weird.

Would "trust me" be a good enough answer when the time comes for a showdown with Hillary ( who presumably will be the Democrat nominee) ?
The whole nation will be watching this time, the critical independent voters included. Most of us have some idea already what Hillary's agenda is but Trump has been making some big claims that seem to many already to be on the verge of either ridiculous or outrageous
Unless one has come to the conclusion that the American voters as a whole are completely stupid then this "trust me" line of response just isn't going to fly with them

Companies are pulling out because if Trump is elected they'll lose their access to slave labor. If Trump institutes tariffs the game is over and they'll have to earn their profits. Right now it's all sweet heart government contracts and slave labor.

Instead of building a 60 billion dollar high speed rail that isn't needed and nobody wants Trump could redirect that money, $60 billion, to desalination plants.

Hillary could demolish Trump with a few simple questions.
How would you get Mexico to pay for your wall ?
How would you move hundreds of factory jobs from China back to the US, pay the American workers a liveable wage say 20 + dollars an hour without doubling the cost of all the merchandise that stores like Walmart, Target and umpteen other stores retail and without slowing or damaging the economy at the same time ?
Explain how having replaced the Affordable Care Act your plan would be cheaper, much more workable and better than the ACA
How would you budget a national defence plan that would reconstruct the military to the world's most hi tech super force while at the same time reducing taxes for everyone and without slashing or reducing other government programs which millions rely on and at the same time not increasing the national debt by a few trillion more ?
Since Trump claims he could do all this then it's time someone held his feet to the fire. Hillary needs to do it and prove that Trump is nothing but a big mouth with feet made of clay

You mean Trump manufactured a purported conflict of interest after the judge was assigned to the case. Expecting the judge to recuse himself at this point would effectively give Trump the power to select his own judge.
