Anderson Cooper: Trump was gutless for not standing up to the “loudmouth” in the crowd.

"It's extraordinary for this guy who claims to be a straight talker that he doesn't have the guts to stand up to some loudmouth in his own crowd."


“If you’re an actual leader,” Cooper said, “if you actually want to lead people in this country and you want to be president to all people in this country, including the Muslim population in this country, you don’t just pander to every loudmouth in your audience.” Cooper continued, noting that Trump was gutless for not standing up to the “loudmouth” in the crowd.

Because he believes the same. Donald is a birther and he was talking to his people, his base. He is not republican, he is a confederate, just like cruz, rubio, walker ect

talk. He has covered Hispanics, Muslims, women; now he will start denigrating gay people and blacks. Result: a huge jump in the GOP voter polls for him.
