Donald Trump, who issued a December press release "calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," said Wednesday such a ban "hasn't been called for yet" and it was "only a suggestion."
It's the latest lightning-speed evolution for the real estate tycoon as he pivots from the provocateur who upended the Republican primary to a general election candidate....

and you hit the nail on the head...
holding to account... is code for...
Destroy Donald’s reputation and degrade Freeper morale.
They continually spout the talking points for the 2nd ballot initiative members... in concert with the never trump (hillary supporting) resistance.
Given how few Syrian Christians have been allowed in, I'd say that a religious test already exists. The only difference is that this administration has been silent about it.
Of course it is a suggestion. Until he is in a position of authority, what else can it be?
He’s not stupid. He’s running to the middle to scoop up Bernie votes.
Everyone?
I’ve seen some Trump supporters here call the wall a metaphor. Seriously.
I have been saying this all along, he is a Democrat.
Dude, first of all, who the hell are YOU to call me a jackass...KMA and twice on sunday
Must be that projection of the "Trump Effect" that makes you think you can insult anybody for any reason...Sorry, but I'm not taking your sh=t...
Second of all do you have a reading comprehension problem because I never said, IN FACT I said "I didn't think he would"...
The poster I was responding to said, Trump should bypass Congress...
To quote myself: I mean you seem perfectly OK with Trump being the next Obama...
Now, I certainly don't think he will be, but I'm going into this election with my eyes wide open...
And thirdly, I certainly don't hate the man, but refuse to join the FR cult like adoration he has here...
I simply don't trust him, he's made lots of promises in no way form or function he can deliver on...
I actually do plan to vote for him...
Just so we are clear...call me a jackass, you can KMA...
Of course, we can have civil discourse, but some of you Trump supporters simply think you get a pass on that because you support the man...
Hopefully in the future we can have a civil discourse, but I'm not taking you petulant BS remarks...
This is one of the hills to die on.. yes, and take all the mosques out. These are terrorists and the mosques are their headquarters... they do not ever aim to assimilate into our country,... they want shaia law and this country to be theirs... they plan to take over the world and American has to be controlled... along with Israel. For anyone to treat this as we have in the past with refugees or countries we have tried to help... this is not the same! Right now, we have terrorists who have been allowed into our land.. it has to be stopped and send them back until there is a way to find out who they are and they have to become Americans to live here. They cannot set up their towns and government within our boundaries... are we nuts?!
Put up a roadblock to the Cheap Labor Express! The horror! Why, the price of gardeners and maid service might get high enough to cut into the golf-club budget!
Yea, just another Cruz troll still clinging to the lost cause.
Exactly.
There is no harm in being a bit more subtle regarding immigration control.
As President, Trump will have total control over immigration policy. Musllims will be few and far between.
Unlike the current administration that is hellbent on inviting as many third worlders as possible.
Until then you can just keep your anti-Trump rhetoric to yourself.
It is either going to be Trump or Hillary, take your choice-snowflake.
So you’re saying we have to vote for it before we know what’s in it?
That is your choice.
All muzzies, leave.
Because you are one?
Second of all do you have a reading comprehension problem because I never said, IN FACT I said "I didn't think he would"...
This is what you said to Chgogal, "I mean you seem perfectly OK with Trump being the next Obama..." And then in typical passive/aggressive Cruz style you state, "Now, I certainly don't think he will be, but I'm going into this election with my eyes wide open". So is everyone else, dude. Unless you are actually stating 'I'm the only one entering the election with my eyes wide open" which was clearly what you were suggesting. The poster, unlike yourself, presumes, and rightfully so that like any President he has the right to pass EOs. Instead of understanding that postion you (1) assume the poster is naive by calling him "a little confused" (2) ascribe a potential motive to DT so that you are the only wise one to discern his acts because your "greatest fear" is "a nationalist Trump actiing like a Marxist Obama..." Oh how cute your are and a little poetic as well? It's best to stop talking out of both sides of your mouth. You insult the poster and then you cry when I call you a jackass?
The poster I was responding to said, Trump should bypass Congress...
Yes, and the President can bypass the Congress through EOs as numerous Presidents have. So what was your point except to suggest your great prescience?
I simply don't trust him, he's made lots of promises in no way form or function he can deliver on...
Right there. How do you know that? That indicates to me a pre-judgment and prejudice.
Of course, we can have civil discourse, but some of you Trump supporters simply think you get a pass on that because you support the man... You displayed no civil discourse.
He changed his position....not very surprising, expect lots more position changes as he gets to understand how Congress works and the Byzantine laws we operate under, some by legislation or court ordered...
As I showed above from actually going to his site he never changed a "position" as it was a STATEMENT of a private citizen for the existing political leaders to have a temporary moratorium - and the site specifically differentiates between "POSITIONS" and "STATEMENTS". But you were too lazy and prejudiced to find that out for yourself. Right? Oh yes, I forgot. You will vote for Trump notwithstanding the piling on of the BS. I think I'm prescient now and discern double-speak.
“If he was being dishonest about his position on muslims entering the US, I see no reason to continue that support.”
Agreed. We should start a support Hillary fan club on FR.
Let him win and then lets see what he does.
