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 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..

So, what part of "moratorium" don't you understand?

I can’t stand listening to FioRino. I tuned her out as much as possible. I would rather listen to a Bernie Sanders who is at least honest saying he is a socialist bleeding heart liberal. RINO’s like FioRino, Kasich, Graham etc. are masquerading as middle of the road republicans but acting same as Sanders.

The Don may not be God, but I guarantee there will be plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth at this site when he makes his first SCOTUS nomination!

I thought I was pretty clear with my comparison, showing what just a few ill chosen words can do to alter life’s path. obviously not.

+++

Bernie had something within his grasp, then uttered a few words, throwing what he had away with just a few wrong words.

Cruz had something within his grasp, and then threw it away by uttering a few wrong words.

Better explanation?

Exactly what weasel words are you talking about? Please quote the entire "weasel" statement from Cruz and not just the couple of words that fit your narrative.

Geez - debating with you is akin to debating with a liberal.

“Well, that is not my policy. I’ve introduced legislation in the Senate that would put in place a three-year moratorium on refugees coming from countries where ISIS or al-Qaida control a substantial amount of territory. And the reason is that’s where the threat is coming from.”

Who said Trump was God? I must have missed it.

Clapton is God and the Beatles were more popular that Jesus Christ. Keep up. LOL

If Sweden did years ago what Trump is proposing now, they wouldn’t have the second highest Rapes per Capita in the World.
