Trump knows we are at war and he knows another hit is inevitably on the horizon, I'm not saying he hopes it, but he KNOWS it and it will give him another surge.

Excellent, excellent post. Too bad the American people can’t understand it.

"This is odd - the headline says he is rising in the polls since the islam controversy"

It just says "his rhetoric on Islam."

"However, the poll tested GOP attitudes on Trump's previous rhetoric on Islam, and found his ideas are supported by a plurality of Republicans in the state."

I had to go deeper myself.

Well Ted Cruz has come out and says he disagrees with Trump’s moratorium so I look for him to start sinking in the polls in a few days. Trump has effectively moved to the right of Cruz and Rubio.

Pretty sure that was one big reason that Trump said it. He doesn't want to attack Cruz head on but he outmaneuvered him here. Cruz sounds like another establishment hack on this now (not saying he is just the perception).

Trump is exactly right, and most everyone knows it BUT The problem according to napolitano is that he said -muslims- - constitutionally he can-t say that because there is a -religious clause- in the constitution- He CAN however constitutionally say -WE need to ban ALL people from the middle east until we figure out what the hell is going on-

There is no constitutional ban for calling for people from any nation to be banned- Especially when people from ANY nation might pose a direct threat to US citizens- Infact a president has am oral obligation to do just that- there-s only a ban on trying to ban people for their -religious belief-

Of course when trump or anyone says -musli- everyone KNOWS that they are referring to people from the middle east, and NOT to their religious belief (Even though islam is implicated In the violence and everyone KNOWS that!)

The MSM is so out of touch with Americans.

Trump deserves the bump for what he said.

Since Cruz is a Constitutionist and believes in state sovereignty, he will most likely propose that it should be the states that decide the Muslim immigration issue.

The GOP is too busy getting along with the Dems to be bothered with fighting back. They surrendered in unison.

Pray America wakes

Thirty-five percent of Republicans in North Carolina "want to shut down the mosques in the U.S." according to the poll, with 33 percent saying they oppose the idea

Put me in the 35% who want to shut the Islamic Command Centers/ammo dumps, er, mosques down.

Most of the others will come along but it might take a few more big massacres, maybe of the Beslan variety where entire buildings full of school children are wiped out before they see the madness of their Politically Correct folly. Don't think the Muslims won't do it because they already have.

Islam is a "religion" which promotes tyranny and mass murder. Why any decent American would want to bring or accept more of that pouring into this country is beyond me.

That would not work. A state does not want them but a neighboring state does. The states can not keep them within that state and they are free to roam.

I don’t think conservatives want to hear that Cruz is not for a moratorium on muslim immigration.

I believe in state sovereignty also but immigration is legally a job for the Federal govt with input from the states. The states already have the right to inspect any refugees and they can reject anybody they believe is a threat to the state or will not fit in properly.

What is beyond us is peachy with a majority of the American people, some of whom aren’t that “American”.

“Those people who champion the rights of illegals over citizens, want subjects not citizens to predominate.”

Let me help with that:

Those people who champion the rights of illegals over citizens, should be hanged from lampposts as traitors. Thanks for your time and consideration.
