Trump's remarks came as he sparred with libertarian-leaning candidate Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky during last night's event. Paul was criticizing Trump's plan to shut down parts of the internet to combat terrorism.
"If you're going to close the internet, realize America what that entails: That entails getting rid of the First Amendment, OK?" Paul said. "It's no small feat."
Trump shot back, accusing Sen. Paul of exaggerating what his plan would do.
"As far as the internet is concerned -- I'm not talking about closing the internet," Trump said. "I'm talking about parts of Syria, parts of Iraq, where ISIS is. Spotting it. Now, you could close it," he continued. "What I like even better than that is getting our smartest and getting our best to infiltrate their internet. So that we know exactly where they're going, exactly where they're going to be. I like that better!" The crowd mostly erupted into applause, but there was a smattering of boos among the adulation, which Trump quickly responded to in typical Trump fashion.
"I just can't imagine somebody booing," Trump said. "These are people that want to kill us, folks. And you're objecting to us infiltrating their conversations? I don't think so. I don't think so."
Trump's remarks have garnered almost 90,000 likes on Facebook in about 13 hours, as well as a lot of supportive comments.
"Trump you're the man this crowd is stupid for booing! I'm glad you shut these idiots up!" one user wrote.
"I will never bow down to political correctness! I'm glad you won't either Mr. Trump!" said another.
With fans like that, it's little wonder Trump has done so well in the polls -- he keeps talking truth to power.

Hillary said something similar and the MSM gave her a pass.

Pretty darned amazing...
in order to determine where they are... what they’re saying... and where they’re going...
fedgov would have to track EVERYTHING EVERYBODY was doing on the internet... and in real life
Interesting.
The booing probably came from the RandPaul-Bots.
GO TRUMP GO
His problem was he phrased it awkwardly.
Trump will shut down/infiltrate the internet in the Isis strongholds. That will cut down on serious Isis internet stuff as shown below.
Hundreds of migrants arriving in Norway had mobile phones containing images of executions

Hundreds of asylum-seekers entering Norway were discovered to have images of executions and severed head on their mobile phones.
The revelation comes amid heightened fears that ISIS is exploiting the migrant crisis to smuggle fighters into Europe, following last month attacks in Paris. Police admitted that the explosion of refugees crossing into the country over the summer and in recent months meant that security checks were less thorough than required, and were not checking the background of those entering the country.

Trump explains himself, end of story.
And yes all network traffic to and from ISIS and Al Qaeda countries should be stopped.

Trump phrased it awkwardly?
Thanks!
I’d like to see Trump take this idea to the next level. Offer to put up the first million, and challenge others including the tech industry moguls that Carly knows so well to do the same. Fund a private sector thinktank to analyze social media and other sources of data and strategize how to use it against the islamic terrorists.
Yep!
He was specifically talking about ISIS using the internet to recruit.
It would almost be worth letting b Hussein run again to see him finally be debate bait that he is.
Thanks for the update!
That blatantly hostile crowd was Trump’s secret weapon in the debate.
Standing up to them got him points for strength and also made him sympathetic.
The media idiots who arranged it should have known better LOL!
I meant his original statement about internet surveillance.
