    It's Herman Cain's most positive trait.
    That he's classifiable in some way.

    I cannot imagine Trump being a likely VP choice at all.

    Glad to see that Santorum has received a whopping 0 votes.

    Its OK to be concerned who you hire. Perhaps that Muslim would be an extremist. What if he hired a Nazi to his cabinet? They would only be picked if they are good for the country, but they would have to put their personal views aside. However, if its a Nazi extremist then there is a problem.

    Also that is only one thing, look at his great economic skills:

    Oh yes his great economic skills, like his tax plan taxing an item at every stage of production.

    Also he isn't saying he would be concerned. He said I am not hiring a Muslim EVEN if they aren't an extremist. Even worse he used separation of church & state as a defense for the argument.

    Separation of church and state makes sense: religion does not come before the government.

    No it doesn't make sense. He is saying that because there is separation of church & state Muslims can't serve in his cabinet, but he will let Christians serve in there. That makes no sense.

    I am sure he actually meant Muslims who support Sharia Law.

    No he didn't or he would have said it. The question was a Muslim of any kind. Cain said no. He said under no circumstances would he allow a Muslim to serve with him.

    *Grabs out This is Herman Cain!*

    Appendix A, Muslims in a Cain Administration

    "When you interview people for a job, you look at their work record; you look at their resume; and then you have a one-on-one personal interview. During that interview you are able to get a feeling for how committed they will be to the organization's mission.
    In the case of my interviewing of a potential senior official of the Muslim faith, I will want to know how committed that person is to the Constitution of the United States. I will want to make sure that anyone, of any religion, serving in my administration - who is, of course, serving the people of our nation - is committed to our Constitution."

    Seems legit.

    Then he doesn't deserve to be a presidential candidate. He has said his position numerous times. He has said he wouldn't allow a Muslim in his cabinet numerous times. He has made it clear he hates Muslims. He can write what ever he wants. There is a huge amount of evidence against him. He made it crystal clear. He was given plenty of time.

    He doesn't hate Muslims, he is concerned about putting ones in executive positions because they may end up radical. I am sure most of us would be concerned the same way.

    Why does he only care about Muslims? What about radical Christians?
