In this December 12, 2015, photo, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a town hall meeting in the Convocation Center on the University of South Carolina Aiken campus in Aiken, S.C. Trump’s supporters don’t see his plan to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.as “xenophobic” or an “appeal to hate”, but rather as an entirely reasonable response to a clear and present threat.

Wow another seemingly insensitive and outrageous quotation from “The Donald” or is it one more genius PR move created to garner free publicity for Trump’s campaign?
Donald Trump has stepped up his war of words with British officials over what he calls the U.K.’s “massive Muslim problem”, claiming more British Muslims join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant than the Armed Forces.
Trump’s proposal has faced a barrage of criticism, from both Republicans and Democrats – many of whom say the idea is un-American and unconstitutional.
He added he was taken aback by the backlash: “I don’t know how to comprehend that”. “Who are you?” Cuomo said at the conference.
So if Trump’s answer to any of his perceived problem – which thus far have been human beings having equal rights – is to just completely block out every “problem starter”, how will he ever achieve anything beyond alienating some people and outraging others?
However, Hough says he got more than that when he got up near the end of Trump’s speech to say what was on his mind.
The Texas senator is challenging Trump’s lead in the kickoff Iowa caucuses, and he has the money, campaign infrastructure and conservative appeal to compete deep into the GOP primary season.
Indeed, many in Clinton’s campaign still don’t think that Trump will prevail over other Republican candidates.
“Backing for the plan is especially high among those looking for a political outsider – another Trump strength, built upon his willingness to express controversial sentiments”, he said. “I think that he’s a buffoon you have to take seriously”.
Almost seven in 10 adults surveyed nationally, 69 percent, indicated they would feel anxious with Trump in the White House, comparing to 29 percent who would be comfortable with him as president. “And he has been using it more successfully than anyone including me ever imagined”.
Trump has maintained a solid lead in New Hampshire polls, though several rivals pushing for establishment support have recently shifted in polling position. How will people dismiss Trump if Americas actually start voting for him? “It’s not just Muslims, it’s Mexicans, African-Americans, he’s said awful things about Jews”. And if I’m president and if [President Barack] Obama has brought some to this country, they are leaving.
“I’ve been making executive decisions for 13 years and been held accountable for them”, Christie told AP in an interview.

“The Muslim thing, that kind of blew me out”, Montplaisir said.
