Nearly two-thirds of likely GOP primary voters support Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from coming into the country, a new poll found.

Hopefully, it will fail.
Trump is the only candidate who wants to solve the problem. The rest only care about being politically correct.
And despite the lies in the media two thirds support Trump.
Nobody trusts the lying MSM anymore. People are sick of them and the politically correct politicians.
Nice. Trump all the way.
I want to thank Algore for inventing this Internet thing for giving voters all the new sources of news.
LOL.
Fact is that the President as the authority to reject undesirable aliens from the country. The law Was written to exclude Communists, but it is at bottom no harder to exclude a Muslim than a Communist.
There’s hope.
It's more than that, in my view. It's been an attempt to create a holographic reality-distortion field, and they've been doing it ever since the Democrats took the House in November 2006, if not before.
With the election of Obama in 2008, they turned the HRDF intensity control up to 11, and the American population loved it.
Over time, the population has trickled out of the theater as cold reality set in. It started when the facts of Obamacare began to bite ordinary people. Other actualities have caused other constituency groups to back away.
At this point, the audience is barely filling the first five rows, and the only people left on stage are the members of the MSM and the crazy fringe lefties of the Democrats, like Reid, Pelosi, Grayson, et al.
And, of course, the RINOs of the GOPe. They just want to be loved, and get their payoffs.
SurveyUSA poll taken in CALIFORNIA of all places shows that 52 percent of all voters either strongly agree with or somewhat agree with Trump. Again, that’s in California. I’ll be willing to bet if they polled every state, the level of support would be higher to much higher. Even taking California as representative of the nation as a whole, 52 percent is pretty good.
This is faux outrage by the media and GOPe. They are using Trump’s Muslim ban statements to destroy his candidacy. It won’t work...his numbers will rise.
Be aware the RNC (NRCC & NRSC) is using Trump supporters to sell them bogus Trump gear knowing it hurts the Trump campaign and they keep the $$$ to fund their rinos.
Donate and purchase gear ONLY from Trump’s authorized website: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/
This country will soon realize that there are many more “radicalized” muzzies hiding among us who will, sooner or later, leave their hiding places to commit “san Bernardino” type of atrocities. Look at the suicide bombings going on in the M.E. and other muslim hellholes. Does anyone really think that muzzies overseas are really different from our domestic monsters, whether vetted or not? Trump is on the right track by suggesting to more closely monitor muzzie immigrants. They are entirely different from any immigrants that this country has admitted since its founding. NO group has endangered the national safety of this nation more than muzzies. The greatest terrorist act against the US was perpetrated on 9/11/2001 and the second greatest was last week in San Bernardino — both committed by Muslims. I rest my case. America, be careful who you allow inside our borders, especially when they carry names like Mohammed, Ahmed and Tashfeen. Read the history of Islam — they hate Christians and Jews, and just because they also kill fellow muzzies, it does not mean that they hate us less.
I am NOT ‘dah GOP’, but as a 63 y.o. guy who loves his country, I’ll shout a Steve Austin flavored YEAH!!
Hey, nobody polled ME. Make that two-thirds, plus one.
What Muslims are not in favor of an Islamic theocracy? Seems like a core tenet of Islam.
“Nearly two-thirds of likely GOP primary voters support Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from coming into the country, a new poll found”
Since Lindsay Grahamnesty berated Trump for the proposal, and it turns out 2/3rds of Republican primary voters agree with Trump, Lindsay’s support should now drop from 0.003% to -4.2%.
I started off to be appalled by Trump's candidacy but he has proven to be a quite resilient and capable campaigner. He is no movement conservative. Normally, my standard is to support movement conservatives, thoroughly steeped in conservative ideology, supporters of the babies, of guns, of marriage, of military strength second to none and overwhelmingly ahead of whatever nation is second, an aggressive foreign policy, trustworthy on judicial appointments and administrative appointments, etc.
Trump is no movement conservative but he is learning as he goes along. He is now credibly pro-life (probably not in his heart of hearts) and knows that the issue is of first importance to social conservatives who make up most of the base. Being pro-life is part of the price he pays for the impressive support he is getting from what were once called "Reagan Democrats" as well as an awful lot of pro-life Republicans, evangelicals, Pentecostals and Catholics.
Trump is no movement conservative but his position paper on the Second Amendment RTKBA could easily have been written by the NRA, GOA or Second Amendment Foundation.
I don't think there is any credible doubt that Trump would rebuild the military and its weaponry and restore to it credible aggressively American generals, officers and top sergeants and their naval equivalents. Nor can there be any doubt that a President Trump would deploy military force in service as necessary in the legitimate best interests of the United States. He will efficiently kill our enemies and break their things.
Is there any doubt whatsoever that Trump will come through on his signature issue and stop illegal immigration, build the wall, and regain US control over immigration.
Trump WILL make America great again! He is the candidate most likely to set fire to the nefarious "trade deals" demanded these last thirty years by the totally corrupted business and elite interests at the expense of American sovereignty and American blue collar workers.
I write all of the above as a supporter of one of Trump's rivals, hopefully his main rival and hopefully his successful rival, Senator Ted Cruz, who I believe will do most of the above as dependably as Trump, and who is a gut pro-lifer without compromise and a defender of conventional marriage without compromise, and who would be sound on each and every issue of which I am aware.
If Donald Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him in the general election. If he chooses Cruz as his running mate and promises to delegate appointment of Justice Department officials and SCOTUS justices and other fedjudges to Cruz, I will vote for them early and often.
I was also impressed to hear aging liberal Dick Cheney attack Trump today. For the benefit of younger conservatives, let me urge you to look back to Cheney's service as Chief of Staff to Gerald Ford, the most embarrassing excuse for a Republican POTUS in human memory.
In that capacity, Cheney was co-responsible for our troops fleeing Viet Nam without adequate provision for evacuating our Vietnamese allies, was a part of an administration which refused to invite Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to the White House in the same time period when Solzhenitsyn gave Harvard's commencement speech (Ford did not want to give offense to our "soviet friends") and Ford and Cheney fought like banshees doused in Holy Water when Ronaldus Maximus challenged Ford for his ideological sins in 1976. Trump is not Reagan but is certainly far superior to Ford or Cheney.
I just heard my Congressidiot Adam Kinzinger, Jeb Bush's Illinois chairthing, urgently pleading with Trump supporters to abandon Trump. Anything that upsets Establishment stooge Kinzinger cannot be at all bad.
Reagan witnessed the Communist infiltration of Hollywood and fought against it. He supported Goldwater and was Governor of California for two terms. He also ran against Gerald Ford and was called unelectable and a right wing nut.
Trump spent his life making deals and trying to get politicians in NY to work with him so he could build buildings and get things done. He gave money to the Clintons and said nice things about them and other liberals.
His political views are now evolving. I was skeptical at first. Reporters said running for office was just a publicity stunt to enhance his brand.
But Trump has stuck to his principles despite being ridiculed, losing business and being regularly attacked.
Trump has plenty of money and success. He doesn't need to get into politics. I believe he is doing it because he is concerned about what is happening to our country.
He really does want to make America great again.
His weakness is that he has not been tested like Reagan was. He has not had to govern and fight against the media and liberal Democrats like Reagan did.
It’s really unfair to say that Trump is the “only one” who wants to solve the problem.
Rand Paul introduced legislation last week to put a moratorium on immigrants from 33 countries until we could be assured of an adequate vetting program.
Senators who voted for: Cruz, Sessions, Lee, Kirk, Moran, Barasso, Shelby, Vitter, Paul
Cruz is introducing 3 more pieces of legislation on the same subject.
Unfortunately REPUBLICANS (who are Democrats) will not support. Call your Senator.
Senator Cruz has been a positive influence.
I wish these other Senators would speak out when the media and the politicians are attacking Trump and attacking anyone who wants to delay immigration from terrorist areas until it can be determined that the so called “refugees” are not infiltrated with terrorists.
Secondly, the media and the GOP-E are getting verrrrry exercised trying to paint Trump as the village idiot but he is a an alumnus of the Wharton School of Finance at Ivy League University of Pennsylvania, the very finest school of finance in the country which has always had incredibly high admissions standards. And, while he had something of a head start courtesy of his dad, he has done a lot better in practical results than most other alumni of that fine school. The intellectual media pygmies and political hacks, firing poison blow guns in his direction are not fit to shine his boots intellectually.
Ronaldus Maximus learned on the fly. He had a certain residual libertarianism from his days in Hollywood. He signed a permissive abortion bill in California before Roe vs. Wade but within the year was going door-to-door circulating petitions for a vote by initiative to repeal that bill. It is thought that he had friends in Hollywood who had been involved in aborting their offspring (and also that he had friends who were Hollywood homosexuals and had some sympathy with them legislatively). OTOH, he was shocked at the number of legalized abortions in California in the very first year and realized he had made a grave error. When State Senator Brigs petitioned onto the ballot an initiative denying state jobs to homosexuals, Reagan took time off the 1976 POTUS campaign trail to go home and campaign against the Briggs initiative as unfair to any homosexual who was a law-abiding citizen. It was a balanced view on homosexuality and a development into absolute opposition to abortion.
I was a Reagan state chairman in 1976 and had even worked for him at the 1968 convention against Nixon where we came a lot closer than the record would indicate. Nixon barely attained the then necessary 2/3 of delegate votes. Reagan had 1/3 of the remaining 1/3 but the Nixon delegations were close to revolt. Only the massive intervention of Barry Goldwater, Strom Thurmond, Harry Dent and Clark Reed kept the Nixon delegates in line. When then Governor Paul Laxalt approached the microphone to switch a necessary and then some number of Nevada delegates from Nixon to Reagan, Gerald Ford who was convention chair abruptly, without any motion, gaveled the roll call to a close.
It is tricks like that which Trump will have to train to resist successfully. The GOP-E play hardball. The further development of their gross fortunes is at stake and they will react like cornered grizzlies if their customary control of the GOP is seriously challenged. Their enemies cannot play wiffleball and succeed.
One good tactic right now is to bind Rubio against the GOP-E and then Dr. Carson. Light Loafers Graham thinks he is in some position to read Trump out of the party and to do likewise to Cruz unless Cruz joins in the gang-rape of Trump. Another good tactic is to have a number of candidates attack Graham as a carnival sideshow of a candidate with no excuse for running other than being carnival barker for the GOP-E.
My #16 gives Trump as much as I have to give to him right now. If I were to abandon Cruz at this point to jump on the Trump bandwagon, I would be an unworthy ally. For now, I certainly recognize that Trump is no Romney and no McCain and no Dole and no Bush the Elder and no Gerald Feckless Coward Ford and no Tricky Dick. In the absence of some unforeseen disaster concerning Trump, I can vote for him. I keep an open mind as I promised I would.
Finally, it is also true that the GOP-E politicos and their servants are not used to butting heads with a man like Trump who knows how to make war personal and knows how to wage war effectively. He is not Ron Paul.
