Cenk hosting. The Republicans are preparing their playbook against Trump with a recent memo that has been released on how to deal with Trump’s character traits and the voters approval towards him. The lessons included ways to avoid coming off as fake to potential voters. The CEO of CBS pointed out that the more presidential candidates spend, the better it is for his network. He added that Donald should keep going with his popular lunacy, as its good money for CBS when covering the circus. Mark Zuckerberg posted to Facebook in support of Muslims across the world. His post sympathized with persecuted Muslims after the latest terror attack, and reached out to every Muslim to have a safe place at Facebook. Donald Trump posed with a bald eagle for Time magazine, and it attacked him a few times during the shoot. Video of his trouble with the eagle. Trump’s latest ban on all Muslim immigration got the attention of supporter Bill O’Reilly. Videos of Bill and Donald debating the usefulness of the plan and how it would hurt us in the battle over terrorism. Videos of Bill O’Reilly battling with Stuart Varney and Lou Dobbs over Trump’s racist plan. Steve King spoke to Chris Hayes about his support for Donald Trump’s ban proposal. Videos of him sort of agreeing, but claiming he agrees with him bringing up the topic. When grilled about his ban on the Kelly and Michael show, Trump also claimed the ban isn’t about religion at all...video. Trump also told Don Lemon that he’s doing tremendous services for the Muslims, and that a top Muslim of the Middle East told him so. Don Lemon also cautiously asked Trump if it hurts his feelings that people call him racist or bigoted. A talk radio show host also asked Trump if he is willing to use nuclear weapons to wipe out ISIS. Video of Trump refusing to answer the question, but only reveals that we will be defeating ISIS “Big League.” Cenk breaks down the 2nd Amendment language since gun nuts like to quote it to justify their desire to stockpile tons of powerful weapons.
