He could answer the question either way and it have no effect on his base. It could have an effect on those still considering Trump, but not the base. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts to the base. Considering that, according to Trump The One-Eyed King, his base would still support him even if he shot someone, you might have a point. Though the undecided will likely not be so impressed by him remaining mum. I can certainly see why the base likes him. He lies through his teeth, and when confronted with his obvious lies ends up denying he ever said it, and thus lying some more. But hey, the promises are full of superlatives and that tends to impress some. Planting seeds: " My people are loyal (and will follow me to the end)."

Even the beeb is having to change its narrative. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35388292Is Donald Trump now unstoppable?You know that moment on an aircraft where there are three choices of main meal, and you've chosen the chicken and tomato pasta bake. But by the time the cabin services person gets to your seat, you are told the bake has gone and all you can have is the tasteless salmon and dill or the irradiated, overcooked beef. Yes, you're disappointed. But you are also immediately in a new mindset. The choice is no longer about what do I want the most. It's what do I mind the least. The Republican Party establishment finds itself in that position now on the eve of the Iowa caucus. The palatable, easy-to-digest candidates - a Marco Rubio, a Jeb Bush, even a John Kasich or Chris Christie - are not on the menu. There is only so long that you can look at the polls and say one of them will break through to challenge the two insurgents, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. As things stand, rather than the "moderates" getting together and trying to work out which of them has the best chance to face down Trump or Cruz, they seem to have formed themselves into a circular firing squad and are busy spraying each other with gunfire. So it's hard to overstate the significance of what has been unfolding over the past few days. It is the grudging acceptance by significant parts of the Republican establishment that not only is Mr Trump the least worst option - he is virtually unstoppable in the race to be their candidate. The conclusion they've reached is they can live with Mr Trump but they can't with Mr Cruz. Mr Trump will cut deals and compromise; Mr Cruz won't. Mr Trump is biddable; Mr Cruz is not.

I was answering this alteration to my statement. Trump plays the media public like a fiddle. They are such fools. The idea that the public who support Trump, the tens of thousands that show up to his rallies, are fools being played by him shows a disdain for their intelligence. It is exactly the sort of behavior that generates so much support for him. The silent majority are sick of being taken for fools by the establishment.
