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)

“”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.””
And just who or what Senator Graham is preventing them from doing that on their own - for a LONG TIME NOW? Do these idiots really want to win the presidency with votes from people who want to destroy us and our country? Well, pox on you and everyone who thinks as you do.
This is it! Reince, Tom Donahue, get the champagne!! Trump’s poll numbers will crash, I tell ya!
A friend on FB posted the obit for common sense months ago.
Trump faces backlash from both parties after call to bar Muslims entering US (Not Cruz)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Trump is right. Thats exactly what we need to do instead of allowing jihadist ISIS shooters into the country.
Islam is Islam. There is no difference between Muslims and radical Muslims. Some choose to kill, others choose to occupy and take over, and some choose to stay quiet out of fear or else they silently agree with jihad.
There are no other choices.
Backlash from both sides? Yeh I don’t think so. LOL! Trump is going to ride this right into the White House.
From the uniparty of the willingly ignorant?
They still don't get it!!
Who'da seen that coming??
Bet his approval rating sky rockets!
GOPe wrong on the issues again.
I’m not looking to be lectured from “Sabrina Siddiqui”.
Ted Is a wise man.
You don’t win wars by going up on the radar.

But we, the American people don’t win if our elected officials are afraid of solving the problem.
Boldly protecting American lives = Immediate Universal Condemnation.
There is no way I’m voting for anyone else.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing “25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad” and 51% of those polled, “agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah.” Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won’t convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.
Mr. Trump stated, “Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again.”
“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?
Maybe it’s related to the conversation he wants to have with ILLEGAL immigrants?
That picture, he reminds me of Putin with hair. The candidate with the best hair wins. No doubt he’d win against Putty-Put-Putin...
I would go further. I would evict all the Muslims currently here, raze the mosques and training camps, imprison then expel all members of the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR.
Yeb is a fracking tard.
It means Cruz, unfortunately, missed an opportunity to bolster support by saying the same thing as Trump. He didn’t disagree with Trump. He said.... nothing.
There's something really wrong with these people.
Ted aint skeered.
