People are so easy to manipulate. Donald Trump bombed at the second debate. He looked tired, confused, and mumbly. As a result, his ratings began to drop.
So what did he do? He planted a fellow at one of his rallies to make some stupid comment about Muslims. And now everybody is so busy discussing the entirely idiotic question of whether a Muslim should be US President that nobody remembers the debate. Moreover, nobody even remembers that there are no Muslims running and that, instead, we have a whole bunch of very unqualified, ignorant, confused people trying to get elected president.
Once again, Trump manages to exploit the love of cheap outrage that his compatriots have and push them away from discussing issues that will directly impact their lives.
I wonder, is nobody ashamed of being so easily manipulated by a creature as primitive as Trump?
Some conservative pundits are claiming that this guy was a LIBERAL plant, and liberal pundits are ridiculing that idea.
You’re suggesting that Trump planted the guy himself. My guess — considering how unprepared Trump was to give a coherent answer — is that the questioner was genuine and caught Trump off guard.

Whether the question was an accident or was engineered, the important issue is that he was used to derail the conversation and take it into the realm of entirely hypothetical Muslim presidents.
I’m observing all this and I can’t even believe it. We have a bunch of really crucial issues that need to be addressed, but instead everybody is passionately debating whether we should elect a Muslim candidate who. . . is not running.
What will we discuss next? Whether a non-existent Ukrainian candidate should be elected? Is nobody else noticing how bizarre all this is?

I’d vote for a Ukrainian, if he/she ran on the Republican ticket.

That’s exactly how students who didn’t do the homework structure their responses. Hilarious! 🙂
