“The more Muslims feel sad, the more ISIS feels that they can recruit them”.
Just 31 percent of Republican voters said Trump is at least somewhat compassionate, and 43 percent said he is at least somewhat likable.
Trump has received backlash after proposing to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the United States, but has stood by his proposal. Fully 54% of Republicans agreed with Trump, while 38% disagreed.
It was heartening to see a cavalry of important voices, including current and former GOP leadership, condemn Trump’s proposal and harshly denounce Trump himself.
Each of these decisions and statements has sparked a furious reaction from Mr Trump, who accused Scotland of failing to appreciate that “I have done so much” for them, and suggested top British officials were “trying hard to disguise their massive Muslim problem”.
“This latest demand that we don’t let Muslims into the country really plays right into the hands of the terrorists”. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them. Two-thirds say media coverage is generally biased against him, more than say so of the other top candidates.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Wednesday that banning Muslims “doesn’t represent what we are” and would weaken the country.
Hillary Clinton had just finished detailing the dangers of terrorism, recalling tough calls in the White House situation room as secretary of state and lashing out at her Republican rivals for threatening the safety of Americans. Fifty-four percent say media coverage is biased against Carson, close to half say that about Bush and Cruz, and 40 percent say that about Rubio. “A lot of people killed”, said Trump, his voice still hoarse with a bout of laryngitis.
Fifty-seven percent of all adults say the real-estate tycoon’s measure should not be implemented, according to a survey conducted among 1,000 adults by NBC and the Wall Street Journal between December 6 and December 9, the network reported.
