The White House on Tuesday sharply condemned Donald J. Trump for calling to bar Muslims from entering the United States, saying the statement disqualified him for the presidency and calling on the other Republican presidential candidates to repudiate his campaign or be excluded as well.
The fact is that what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president, and for Republican candidates for president to stand by their pledge to support Mr. Trump, that in and of itself is disqualifying,†Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said Tuesday at his daily briefing.
“What he said is disqualifying, and any Republican who’s too fearful of the Republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either,†Mr. Earnest said.

“Donald Trump is eminently qualified. Josh Earnest and all who share his view are demonstrably ignorant.”
If they’re unable to correctly determine something as simple as Trump being qualified to be president, then why should we believe that they can correctly determine the intent of so-called Muslim refugees when they have NO DOCUMENTATION to show anything?
” he spent his formative years here post 9/11”
Which he probably spent with his older relatives and imams, who did not spend their formative years here. I suspect the seeds of his radicalization started with them.
The WH has never read the constitution. That’s why they govern like they do.
That’s ok Bambi, you and Hillary have done much more to disqualify yourselves.....and yet.....
Trump, say you are trying to “fundamentally change America,” and they can’t say a word!
That is so right, and that is the crux of the entire matter.
“Obama made sweeping generalizations that made him look like a fool.”
He doesn’t look very “Presidential” at all. In fact, he looks more like he could be one of the new Pips (w/Gladys Knight) or Temptations.
This one pegged my fulloshitometer so hard it broke...
Now we know how scared of Trump Obama really is.
And of course he hasn’t said a word about how Hillary should have been disqualified long ago.
I was a machinist for 8 years. If I noticed a part developing a bad finish, I Had to stop, figure out what was wrong and fix it before I ran more bad parts.
As a carpenter if we hung a door that didn’t close right, we had to stop and figure out why before we hung a half dozen doors that all didn’t close right.
Why should we handle immigration any different? Trump is right, we have a big problem, people immigrating to this country have already caused much damage. Boston Marathon bombers, Ft Hood shooter, (may not have been an immigrant, correct me if I’m wrong) then this pair in California last week, among others.
We have a big problem, we know ISIS is mixing their members in with refugees, we know immigrants have caused a lot of trouble, it’s time to stop, re assess the situation and figure out what the problem is before we take in even more bad people. If they happen to be muslims, so be it, we’re not under attack by Irish farmers...Stop, figure out the problem and fix it, then immigration can continue.
Same should have been done on the southern border long ago. Over 50,000 criminal acts committed against citizens along the southern border, why is nobody trying to figure out that problem and fix it? Same thing. I’ve been saying for 10 years we need to temporarily stop all border crossings, including tourists from the US, in the interest of public safety, until we fix the problems at the southern border of illegal immigration and drug cartels. If we shut off all foreign aid to Mexico at the same time, they will go out of their way to help do it, then we can talk money again. In 6 months you wouldn’t be able to get a mouse across the border without papers.
We need to do the same here. Stop, fix the problem then resume immigration. Trump is exactly right.
If Jeb Bush wants to see someone unhinged, he needs to look in the mirror...if Josh Earnest wants to see someone that’s disqualified, he needs to look at his boss and Hillary Clinton.
Perfect post!
