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

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)

I’m all for Trump and keeping even more Muslims out. Just saying, it’s painful to watch these news hacks do their routine. For weeks it’s been grilling over Muslims celebrating 911, tiring.

We have the best politicians the $audi$ and Gulf Arab$ can buy.

Hillary will get their money if Trump is the nominee, that’s for sure but the Republican Establishment from McCain to Christie and so on are also in the pockets of Islamic nations and supporting of the ‘moderate’ terrorists in Syria.

Trump wants to protect America from Cockroach Jihadists..leftists and those in the GOP establishment sit behind their iron gates in their mega mansions nice and secure they have nothing to worry about(Since they all have bodyguards) I also worry about the Jihadist scum who are already here, like Farooq, he was a US citizen, born in Chicago, what do we do about the likes of them who are already here and waiting to strike

The leadership of both parties abandoned Trump long ago.

But the base hasn’t. The base thinks he’s talking sense. He is the only one talking sense.
