Republicans spar over Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims

Supporter Tracy Hooker still says Trump is “my guy”. He said he didn’t “know how to comprehend” the backlash it received. “I think that this sends the wrong message to people that have to be part of our partnership for a solution”.

A poll conducted by the Associated Press-Gfk revealed that 8 in 10 Republican registered voters think Trump is or believed to be decisive.

But Trump’s Muslim friends aren’t the only people who oppose the temporary ban against Muslims.

‘Well, it does endanger national security because it exhibits an attitude, by one American who is running for the highest office of our land, about a willingness to discriminate against a religion, ‘ Kerry said on Sunday during ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

Robert Williams, a lineman for the local power company in North Augusta, said he is “on my guard” after the recent shooting in San Bernardino, California. And I’ve got to say, there are times when you see it and you just think, if he had an ISIS campaign adviser in the room, that’s what ISIS would have advised him to say today.

Donald Trump supporter Tracy Hooker isn’t interested in debating the merits of his proposal to temporarily block Muslims from coming into the United States. That’s the case because Trump has stumbled upon true constitutional awkwardness, arising from the fact that the drafters of the Bill of Rights- specifically the First amendment to the U.S. Constitution – saw fit to protect freedom of speech and freedom of religion in the same prominent amendment.

Kerry said it was clear from his exchanges with other diplomats in Paris that Trump’s anti-Muslim comments were damaging to U.S. foreign policy. “We have a president who will not utter the name of the problem”.

“Not really. I mean, why would they support the ban?”

Now, 38 percent of Republicans mention the terrorist threat compared to 29 percent who point to the economy, and 6 percent who single out immigration.

“I felt like I’m being insulted”, said Edwards, the banker from Iowa.

Speaking on CBS News’ “Face the Nation”, Senator Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, said Trump’s proposal was a “huge mistake” that threatens to alienate the same Muslims the USA will need to fight against ISIL.

Fundamental to their faith in Trump is also what has also made him so controversial: His brash, open style. Another poll that came out Saturday has Cruz ahead of trump by ten points in Iowa.

Sen. Lindsey Graham is right: “ISIS loves Donald Trump because he is giving them an opportunity to bring people their way”. I think if he had time to explain it, I think he could.

“He’s definitely saying what people are thinking”, Jim Wilson, a government employee from Augusta, said. “If he keeps going and he actually becomes president, he might just get around to you, and you better hope that there’s someone left to help you”.

Trump also said he wants to discover why terrorists have “total hatred” for the U.S.

As a Mexican-American columnist who writes often about immigration, I have little tolerance for bigotry.

With 41% support, Trump soars over his competitors.
