This has been gone over several times.

Even a leftist author at Salon said that the article about this was a hit piece.

Look a little farther down the list of posted articles. If Salon - a leftist rag - thinks it’s bogus you should too.

I will just observe, that Trump is doing remarkably better in this race now, than your candidate did.

Who was that, once again?

I’m beginning to think that NR is hostile to Trump.

There is a big section of the Republican party which is hostile to Donald Trump.

The part of the party is all for the Bushes, selling off American businesses, and importing ever more foreign labor.

They are completely on the wrong side. 100%.

Trump wants to look at these issues carefully with his advisers before giving a detailed answer, or even a firm yes or no. I think that’s a good quality in a presidential candidate.

If he’s president, of course he’ll have to have a full answer ready on everything, and the closer he can get to that during the campaign, the better for us. He has to formulate enough thorough and solid plans for us to trust him on what still remains when he is president.

He’s already getting rebuttals from de Blasio for something he didn’t even say in the middle of signing books. Anybody think it DOESN’T bear serious looking-into, which is what he said?

Cook is the nether end of a horse.

Your mind is closed and NOTHING that anyone says, is going to change your "feelings" about Trump.

So, let me concede the point that Trump wants all arrivals in the country entered into a data base. Is that not done now? Do you or the writer to the article above wish the nation not to know who is entering the country?

Sharia law calls for the violent overthrow of the existing political system. Was it fair to ask those immigrating if they were a communist, a system that also called for the overthrow of our constitutional republic?

Did not the FBI catalogue information on every communist in the country in the 40s-60s if not longer? Did not the national security apparatus collect information on every mosque in the days after 9-11?

Muslim is not a race but a belief system. This recent kerfuffle over what Trump supposedly said or not said or should have said is much ado about nothing....but....The question remains, how will one fight an international organization that hides behind a “religion” without knowing the players in your own country? If you can answer me that question then maybe I will support your candidate, Rubio, or Kaisich, or Yeb! or whatever....

Scott Walker is still out of the race.

Cooke's piece nicely tees up my feelings about Trump and his ideology.

If this pile of dribble "tees up [your] feelings", then you got some serious issues in the old hat-rack.

Convince me I wrong.

Make me a sandwich.

Then there’s the section of Republicans who know Trump is not a conservative and is a poor candidate.

We don't have to convince you of a damn thing, because we KNOW you're wrong.

You exhibit a continuing pathological hatred of Trump, most likely rooted in his driving out your former idols, aka Rick Perry and Scott Walker and now you are obsessed with trying to take him down with your puny and puerile efforts.

JimRob himself said "It's Trump or Cruz, all the others are amnesty pimps" so you would be well advised to take that into account as you continue to assail one of the two candidates that WILL be our nominee.

And even you cannot be so arithmetically challenged as not to see that it is TRUMP who is far ahead of the pack.

Stop doing the work of the 'RATS and GOPe. Your schtick is way past it's shelf life.

Her candidate was Walker and ever since Walker’s been gone she’s been rubbishing the front runners in an orgy of sour grapes/scorched earth postings.
