The escalating rhetoric is prompting soul searching by minority members of the Republican Party, particularly Muslim Republicans, who worry that Mr Trump’s and Mr Carson’s comments will permanently damage the party’s standing among voters who would typically be drawn to its conservative fiscal policies and platform of traditional family values.
Today, 84 percent of Republicans disapprove of taking in Syrian refugees, most of whom are Muslims, compared with 40 percent of Democrats and 58 percent of independents, according to a Gallup poll released just before Thanksgiving. The Daily News called it the “lowest of the lows” when Trump criticized Kovalski by saying, “You outta see this guy…” and then Trump appeared to mimic Kovalski’s physical disabilities.

Trump arrived in his signature helicopter, greeting about 1,000 people who couldn’t cram into the 4,000-seat capacity Robarts Arena (on Twitter, Trump estimated the crowd at 12,000, adding, “Great love in the air!”).
“By the way”, he said Saturday, “everybody admits that worldwide, Muslims were absolutely going wild” over 9/11.
Last weekend he declared that if elected, he would bring back waterboarding – the controversial interrogation technique that simulates drowning but which has been scrapped by President Barack Obama after monitoring agencies said it amounted to torture.
“If they would have had the guns, they wouldn’t have had the carnage they had”, Trump said.
