For those who don't know transcription, -- does not mean a pause, it means the conversation is overlapping - both people are talking at the same time.

Mr. Trump must know that these groups hate the Jews. . . . such as his daughter Ivanka (converted), his son-in-law, and his three grandchildren . . . .

Still don't wish to denounce them?

How was it a sneaky question?? It was about as easy of a siftball lob question as possible and he REFUSED to denounce Duke or the KKK. Questions don't get any easier than that.

Like I said. I think he'll say anything (or avoid saying anything) to win. He has already totally changed his position on a number of key issues over the years. Not unlike Hillary.

Wrong: ^^
Right: I've never ever heard about David Duke, the KKK, or white supremacists. Give me a list and I will research them.

Do they serve waffles in the current Trump Tower?

Donnie, are you THAT dense or is it just an act?

Means that I have nothing to do with d or white supremacists.
Nowhere in the English speaking world does the verb to know, have the same meaning as the verb to have.

I would not trust the media telling me until I checked it out myself. I watched the whole interview when it aired. It was a better interview than the one done by Chris Wallace today who snidely managed to tick off every single candidate he interviewed. Cruz was so angry that when the interview ended he didn't even acknowledge Wallace's thank you.

because he put Trump on the spot and implied that he had something to do with the KKK or David Duke. Of course Trump is going to say, "I have no ideas that David Duke endorsed me." Any answers he gave, would be a wrong answer.

Do you think the interviewer would have asked HIllary Clinton or Bernie Sanders the same questions? Why or why not?
