Donald Trump said Sunday that until President Obama uses the words “radical Islamic terrorism” then “the problem will not be solved!”

Trump’s comment on Twitter came the day after all three Democratic presidential candidates eschewed the use of the term “radical Islam” in their debate on CBS, prompting conservatives renewed their outrage over the general refusal of Democrats to paint Islam with such a broad brush.

    What’s the thinking here, anyway?

    As soon as Obama says these words PRESTO MAGIC A MIRACLE HAPPENS and the attacks will stop?

    How any thinking person could vote for these clowns escapes me.
