Related: About this forumAmerica’s founding fathers would have hated the Trump campaign’s approach to religion
By Heather Timmons

Trumps latest public-speaking gaffe pitted the Republican presidential hopeful against other rich, wigged men: The thinkers responsible for the US Constitution.
At a rally in New Hampshire on Sept. 17, an audience member declared, We have a problem in this country, its called Muslims. President Obama, the man said, was Muslim, adding that training camps were growing where they want to kill us. He ended: Thats my question: When can we get rid of them?
Trump responded. Were going to be looking at a lot of different things.
In a statement following the debate, the Trump campaign said:
The media wants to make this issue about Obama. The bigger issue is that Obama is waging a war against Christians in this country. Christians need support in this country. Their religious liberties are at stake.

to pretty much everything.
I don't think they would have liked tRump at all.
