Trump faces backlash from both parties after call to bar Muslims entering US (Not Cruz)
The Guardian ^ | 12/8/15 | Sabrina Siddiqui

Posted on 12/07/2015 4:54:13 PM PST by VinL

Donald Trump's proposal to ban all Muslim immigration into the US, including that of tourists, was met with an immediate and massive backlash from across the political spectrum.

Republican presidential candidates moved quickly to condemn their party's frontrunner, with Jeb Bush describing Trump as "unhinged" and Lindsey Graham calling on everyone seeking the presidency to denounce the plan.

"Donald Trump today took xenophobia and religious bigotry to a new level," Graham told the Guardian in an interview shortly after Trump unveiled his proposal.

"His comments are hurting the war effort and putting our diplomats and soldiers serving in the Middle East at risk. The way to win this war is to reach to the vast majority of people in Islamic faith who reject Isil and provide them the capability to resist this ideology."

Bush, the former Florida governor, responded on Twitter: Donald Trump is unhinged. His "policy" proposals are not serious.

"Donald Trump is unhinged. His "policy" proposals are not serious."

New Jersey governor Chris Christie said Trump's comments reflected "a ridiculous position and one that won’t even be productive".

"We do not need to resort to that type of activity nor should we," Christie told conservative radio show host Matt Medved. . (snip)

From Jeb Bush to Lindsay Graham is “across the political spectrum”?

Only the Communist Guardian would think so. (And, I suppose, the rest of the MSM liars.)

I agree, Trump is right. Anyone who does not see the sanity of such a move is insane.

Cruz is weak.

No, he and Trump are playing "good cop, bad cop."

Instead of letting them all in and trying to identify the bad guys among them, we should just ban all of them until they prove to us, one at a time, that they are worthy to come here.

Easier to track, easier to build the database.

Trump demonstrates again how worthless and weak the rest of the Republicans in the field are. The typical limp wrists come out with condemnation. Linda Graham, Yeb and now my Fat Governor. Cruz demonstrates again, for those who think he isn’t, that he’s the consummate politician. Not condemning Trump but condemning him all the same while splitting hairs over ‘radical Islamic terrorism’, versus Muslims. Trump is damn refreshing and says what he says and there’s a method to this statement as well. Give it a few days.

Cruz is weak.

Either that or it's not his policy.

We are at war.It is proven that refugees and muslims now coming here want to do amercians harm. They have infiltrated Europe. We must stop this until we can figure out who these people are and can be vetted correctly.

Shut ‘er down. Including the ‘moderate’ Muslims so they get the damned message.

These neo-nazi Islamic vermin want to annihilate not assimilate and the USA isn’t going to take this crap anymore!

“We are using language against radical Islamic terrorists, but I am going to focus on language I use,” Cruz said.”

What the hell does that mean?

I think Cruz missed a chance here.
A new screening protocol is obviously needed.
Good for Trump for pointing out the obvious.

At least Cruz didn’t ‘take the bait’.
