GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz said Tuesday that he disagrees with rival Donald J. Trump's plan to ban Muslims from coming into the United States until the federal government can ensure that those coming into the nation do not pose a threat to the country.
"I do not agree with his proposal," the Texas senator said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. âI do not think it is the right solution.â
Mr. Cruz said that some have encouraged him to criticize Mr. Trump, but said he will not to so. Instead, he said he is pushing solutions aimed at putting a three year moratorium on refugees from Syria and Iraq, and giving governors more power to stop refugees from being resettled in their states.
Mr. Trump has tangled with most of the candidates in the GOP field ..with the exception of Mr. Cruz .. though he warned at a rally in South Carolina that he will respond in kind if Mr. Cruz attacks him.

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

I can’t agree at this point, it is long past time to strip Islamists of their religious protections. When the bedrock of a “religion” is a prophet who bedded a 9-year-old, thinks pictures of him are an abomination, advocates for the murder of nonbelievers, and so on and so on, then it is no longer a religion, it is a murderous cult.
Bar Islamists from entering the country, mark the ones that are here now, and deport them.
“Our problem is not the Muslims I study with, itâs the Muslims who openly and actively support terrorists.”
I hate to tell you, but the muslims you study with support the terrorists. If they tell you otherwise they’re just practicing taqiyya.
You’ll never be sure until they show up at work and shoot up a party just like Farook did.
I don't believe it's stupidity.
It's weakness. He does not want to suffer the incoming fire FROM EVERY DIRECTION.
Or, it could be that he just plain believes it's wrong.
But I'm going with weakness.
Well, Trump already packs so it’s not that much of a stretch.
I watch his speeches online, now and again, nearly expecting him to whip out a .45 and wing a heckler.
:D
/Holy Kalashnikovs, Batman!
I am VERY SURE the people who worked at environmental health also thought that Farruk was not a Muslim to worry about either unfortunately they were VERY wrong!!!!!
Good cop/bad cop?
Yeah. A bad moment. Not a deal killer, but definitely some structural damage there.

If we learn that Cruz didn’t say this, then he moves back to first choice with me.
Well, Ted. I WAS going to vote for you.
But now, the only worthy candidate is Trump.
Cruz may have just killed his campaign.
I know, I know, there are high minded people who are concerned that a web being spun now might entangle Christians at some point.
Seems to me there are two ways around this. Either be clever about not putting anything actually ideology-aware into your anti jihadist web (Cruz), or just cut the web with forcefulness (Trump).
I think we need to get out those scissors. IMHO, or maybe you don’t think I am so humble.
Giving governors more power over refugees being resettled in their states?
Such as this goof?
Charlie Baker: Donald Trump’s stance ‘completely inappropriate’
Brilliant plan, Ted. /s
_____________________________________________________
From the article you cited:
“’It runs against what I think was sort of one of the founding principles of this country, which is religious tolerance, religious freedom,’ Baker added”
The apologists for muslims such as Baker have entered a circular bit of logic from which there is no escape. They say we must grant muslims entry because of “religious tolerance, religious freedom.” Islam, however, is a religion that does not permit religious tolerance nor religious freedom.
Permitting a “religion” that exists for no real reason other than to destroy, violently, other religions is... not very tolerant and doesn’t exactly promote religious freedom, does it?
Always love to read your forthright and unequivocating statements, even the vanishing few where we disagree.
Oh, and agree with this, 100%.
The greatest mistake we make is to deny the blind, all encompassing, absolute hatred they hold for *all* who are not *them*.
Politifact is just another opinion and they didn’t account for the application of law. So, no, I don’t take legal advice from political websites like politifact or snopes.
Cruz is a HUGE 2nd Amendment supporter. That alone is worth a lot.
Trump could be more precise, but he isn't going for a legal brief. It resonates.
