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)

LOL...watch out, someone might reply with that silly ‘scorecard’ ;-)
I like that Very Presidential pic Jane!
In a perfect world, Cruz would be right. In the real world, we can’t tell the difference. Clearly. So Trump’s idea for a moratorium until we sort it out is the only truly safe route. We of course won’t take it. Doesn’t make him wrong.
“Then I will say it. I am not a newbie. CRUZ IS WEAK ON THIS.”
Wow, voluntarily interjecting on someone else’s behalf, and using bold letters too. I’m doubly impressed. Here’s a though, why don’t you use YOUR own words, and let others fend for themselves? Looser.
LOL!
Earlier someone said it looks like a Twister game and it does!
Correct.
Cruz is the son of an emigre. Of course he’s going to take a nuanced position. You can be in favor of closing borders (he is), in favor of enforcing immigration laws (he is) and still hold his exact position.
The long game of waiting for Trump to implode is the wise game to play.
Thanks.
I like it, too. Can’t wait for Trump’s inauguration and fumigation...of the entire White House :)
Thanks for posting this... it needs to be a reminder every now and then.. religion and religion gets mixed up. Evil is evil.. get it out of our country, for it will destroy the United States of America and take a lot of people with it.
Some Cruz supporters are against temporary restrictions on Muslims entering US? Unreal! These Cruz supporters on FR who are anti-Trump are unbelievable!
On the other hand many rational minded FR posters like both Trump and Cruz. But the Trump haters have a serious case of TDS.
“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”.
Jebbie is pathetic. Grahamesty is despicable. Neither one of these two misfits has the tiniest interest in providing domestic security.
I voted 3 times to put this burr under DC’s saddle.
Let em squirm :)
You can't even spell your words right in your snark post. LOL...embarrassing. I think you've proven who the 'loser' is.
Fiorino was just on BOT show, spouting anti-Trump comments calling him a rabblerouser and violating US Constitution by restricting a segment of people.
Here’s a though, why don’t you use YOUR own words, and let others fend for themselves? Looser.

Not good Freeper etiquette you know.
Also, if you don’t want others commenting on your comments then you should refrain from commenting.
It is pretty amazing to see so many, here, siding with the MSM/Dems/Socialists/establishment. Unreal.
I read one post actually defending Cruz’ statement/take on this....due to....wait for it...the fact he’s a son of an immigrant.
That one was a head scratcher.
Yes he is weaker than Trump on this issue, I agree. However, again the media did not finish his statement (see below). Stopping all Muslims seems impractical since anybody can lie about their faith. Targeting specific countries that home brew terrorist would be a start.
“That is not my policy. I have introduced legislation in the Senate that would put in place a three year moratorium on refugees coming from countries where ISIS or al Qaeda control a substantial amount of territory. And the reason is that is where the threat is coming from,” Cruz said as he was leaving a South Carolina field office.
When Scalia tells Univ Of Hawaii law students that internment camps will return and that it will be legal, I think what Trump is doing will pass legal tests.
Did Fiorina say which constitutional rights these 'non-citizens' have that are being violated?

And the exorcism, to follow the fumigation.
