Donald Trump Calls for Barring Muslims from Entering U.S

I think that politicians generally don't bring a framework of sufficient substance for us to criticize, and it's probably not because of fear of the critique of American voters, but rather fear of the attack ammunition they're going to give to rival political attack dog organizations.

Also, a lot of people aren't going to digest the nuances of your framework, which means very little global positive and a lot of room for misinterpretation -- more attack ammunition.

I tend to agree with that. I'd much rather the politician actually define a clear set of rules or a framework as you put it, that he is to hold himself accountable-to during the elected period.

But, could we not say that Trump is sort of doing exactly that? Being brutally honest, and coming up with perhaps blatantly wrong, but "easily-definable" items he will be doing during his term?
