As soon as they announce moderators, want to FedEx them a list of debate questions for Trump.
I can accumulate a list from here, if anyone has ideas.

(1,907 posts)I'm having a tough time putting some of this in to a pure question mode.
Dipshit said he talked to tough cops about this. Were you suggesting having harsher enforcement laws or sentences? The possible use of profiling for enforcement? Limiting liability for police wrong doing?
Muslim Americans profiling there seems to have been some ambiguity on his stance. At one point it sounded like he was suggesting investigating or interrogating Muslim American citizens. What is your stance on this?
Are you going to recuse yourself from any action that could affect your personal or family fortune?

Since you have debt to foreign entities in countries such as China and Russia how will you ensure the American people that you are not influenced by these debts. To prevent conflict of interests will you pay off all foreign loans you have received before the elections? And if so when?

(1,907 posts)Why have you been getting waivers on H1B visas to get room housekeepers, valets & cooks from overseas to work at your resort when the local employment agency has American workers available for the spots?

(7,908 posts)for the Taliban and Daesh (aka "ISIS" to waterboard and torture American captives?
Why or why not???
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)thinking how to rephrase so he can't just say that. I work from home and have news on 24/7...and have heard him say a million times that what they do is SO much worse than waterboarding
KingCharlemagne
(7,908 posts)asking. He advocates that we return to waterboarding and torture, implying that he finds it morally acceptable to do so. Well, if it's morally acceptable for us to do so, does he have a problem with any of our adversaries doing it to captive Americans like, say, Senator John McCain.
Hmm, let's see:
"Mr. Trump, you've said you want us to be able to torture those who fall under our control, correct? Mr. Trump, were the North Vietnamese justified to torture Senator McCain and other American POWs during the Vietnam War?"
The idea behind the question is that anyone who votes for Trump is voting for torture. Make the bastard choke on Kan'ts Categorical Imperative.

Whiskeytide
(4,463 posts)... make Mexico pay for the construction of a border wall?
2. Do you believe the US should remain a part of NATO and abide by its treaty terms? If not, what will be your strategy to get out of NATO without damaging relations with our allies?
3. Would you oppose a Russian military invasion of the Ukraine or other sovereign nation? How so?
4. Do you believe women should receive equal pay for equal work?
5. Are there circumstances where you believe the use of nuclear weapons is appropriate? Give us examples of when you might authorize their use?
6. What - if any - would be your litmus test for the nomination of a justice for the SCOTUS?
7. Do you believe the Court's Citizens United decision was a good one? Why?
8. Do you support ANY regulation of Wall Street activities? How would you protect American citizens from predatory financial schemes?
9. You know you're really not answering any of these questions, right?
10. If you are a self-promoting huckster, completely clueless about world affairs outside your lifelong bubble of wealth, and possess zero understanding of how to govern a condo association, let alone a free nation, respond with "We'll have to get the best people to look at it".

(42,770 posts)this was a big deal like I did, but I found that Trump's great grandmother is a McIver - it's on his own website.

Here's one for trueblue
Do you believe life begins at conception and would you stop all forms of abortion no matter the circumstances? Do you support the Roe vs Wade decision?
Do you believe in birth control other then abstinence or rhythm such as the pill or iud's? (For the Catholic voter.)
You have previously said more countries should have or develop their own nuclear weapons. Do you still support that or have you pivoted from that stance?
You have made several references to enhanced interrogation for Muslim immigrants. What exactly is enhanced interrogation? And why would it only be used for one religion? Isn't that religious discrimination?
Since you said you will be building a wall. What is your stance on Eminent Domain and would you use it to get land to build the wall on? If not how would you build a complete wall if you can't buy the land?
duncang
(1,907 posts)One of the reasons people come to America illegally is to get jobs. If there were stronger laws and punishments for the people and companies employing illegal immigrant workers would you support things like mandatory sentences for employers?
duncang
(1,907 posts)Immigration
During a few interviews you have mentioned different ideas on Muslims entering the U.S. you would enact as President. Do you have a definitive statement yet on Muslims coming in to the U.S. It has been from a total temporary ban to certain countries.
Internal
Also you said "Were going to have to look at a lot of things very closely. Were going to have to look at the mosques. Were going to have to look very, very carefully." Could you clarify this statement? For clarity which agencies are you saying should look at them? And don't you think that could set a dangerous precedent for targeting specific religious groups?
duncang
(1,907 posts)I don't think I have really heard anything definitive on what his stance is on gun regulations other then generic I support the NRA stuff.
What is your stance on the sale of high capacity magazines?
What is your stance on the sale of military style weapons?
What is your stance on the loop holes on gun sales at gun shows and on line sales?
What is your stance on background checks? Do you support laws as is, decreased back ground checks, or stronger back ground checks?
What is your stance on smart guns?

Question, wouldn't the wall have to be built on the US side, preventing access to the Rio Grand?
