The nightmare that is Hillary...

Donald Trump just trumped all the Republican candidates for President.
The day after the mom jeans wearing squat to pee President came out to assure us that tolerance, gun control, and climate change would save us from ISIS, Donald Trump demanded we bar any muslims from entering this country and bar any American citizen who is muslim from re-entering the United States.
Set aside the merits of what amounts to at least, in part, an unconstitutional position.
This is actually brilliant politics for the here and now. Immediately, every other Republican candidate except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% rushed out to attack Donald Trump. He’s unhinged, hateful, etc. And the responses all amounted to "we must let muslims enter our country," which sounds a whole lot like "we must allow all Mexicans in our country," which everyone knows is blatantly untrue on both counts.
We do not have to do it, but the other candidates, unable to nuance their spittle, went all in with "no religious tests" and "yes we must do this because it is who we are."
So, to put it another way, the day after the President failed to reassure a scared public following the second worst terrorist attack since 9/11 on domestic soil, Donald Trump not only got himself to the right of all the other candidates, but also got every single one of them save for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% to align themselves with Barack Obama.
Hate Donald Trump all you want, be offended by his proposal all you want, but it is really brilliant politics for Trump right now in the Republican primary and the reactions from the other candidates prove it. All the people attacking Trump on his immigration proposals now attacking him on this have done themselves no favors within the primary process.
Have none of these people read Art of the Deal? This is an opening, bombastic salvo to set the terms of negotiations and the other candidates except Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% just decided to negotiation in Barack Obama’s position. And it comes at a time some polls are suggesting Trump is starting to fade in places like Iowa.
It is brilliant.
The nightmare that is Hillary...
Awhile back I started to sense that Donald Trump wasn’t random, but actually a mad genius. At this point I am no longer surprised.
Erickson is protected Cruz a little here, as he hasn’t come after Trump, but he sounds offly wish washy when he starts using sentences that sound like “the focus should be on the focus... the focus on the focus” blah blah blah.
These savages do not belong in America. Period.
Cruz used weasel words and came off looking very weak.
This WILL help Trump and hurt everyone else.
Trump just helped Cruz, trump did not help himself
Other than potentially triggering an epileptic fit, I don’t understand the flickering dog gif. What is its significance?
You’re NUTS !
We obviously need an immigration pause, for two decades.
Intriguing, how so?
Agree, Trump knew fools like Jeb would bite on the hook to become Obama me.
Cruz is smart enough not to rush to the microphone and figure out the ploy. I’m for Cruz, but if he isn’t the nominee and Trump is, will be happy to vote for him.
Try this one then...
Or a cat, if you don't like babies...
Very weird....
So many people have underestimated Trump, including many here.
I am telling you. This nation— is pissed!! We are sick of this moslem crap. We will never allow the sharia diarrhea!! This killing is going to STOP. THEY WERE KILLED AT THE CHRISTMAS PARTY BECAUSE THEY WERE CHRISTIANS!! This is an attack on our religion and it aint gonna happen. You are going to see hell not virgins. Go TRUMP!!
That would be what I would do too. We have too many invaders here on welfare anyway.
Until the Islamonuts are defeated, no more immigration.
Anyone who wanted to come here to stay can just blame Islam.
Cruz used weasel words and came off looking very weak.

“Cruz used weasel words”? Really? Did you read this following section of the article?
FROM THE ARTICLE:
“Donald Trump not only got himself to the right of all the other candidates but also got every single one of them save for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% to align themselves with Barack Obama.”
All but Trump & Cruz are sounding not only like Barack Obama but also, and more importantly, like Shrillary Clinton.
——and bar any American citizen who is muslim from re-entering the United States.——
Anybody else see some serious consitutional issues here...?
Business people, soldiers, people visiting relatives out of country, taxpayers ...?
Sorry, you are a citizen, but now in complete limbo...stuck in never, never land, a citizen without a country...
And this needs updating because Cruz did come out later in the day and say Trump’s plan was not his. So, end of day, all are on side of Obama, Hillary, and PC.
