That’s why she says Trump is “my guy”.

On “NBC Meet the Press”, Marco Rubio, (R) Presidential Candidate, said, “Each time he’s had to choose between strong national defense and some of the isolationist tendencies in American politics, he seems to side with the isolationist”. 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. “Temporarily. We have no way of knowing who they are”.
Trump said what a lot of Americans feel. “They’re waiting for the next attack”.
Kerry acknowledged that if a Republican takes office in 2016, they would be able to undo the agreement by executive order, however he said he does not think Americans will accept a president who is not willing to do something about climate change. The reality for Middle Eastern Muslims has become what George W. Bush claimed after 9/11: the United States needs to fight them over there so it doesn’t have to fight them over here.
“Imagine that instead of banning Muslims, we banned blacks from any country”, said Vanderbilt University’s Suzanna Sherry, describing a hypothetical reaction to a period of intense racial unrest in the United States. “The U.S. government can exclude a foreign national on any basis”. You know, when it comes over the news, you just get bites. If we knew six months ago what we know now about Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, the couple that killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., how many would find a ban that kept them out of the United States attractive?
Donald Trump recently released a plan that called for banning all Muslim immigration to the U.S for the time being.
Cruz – who is fast emerging as Trump’s biggest rival – avoided calling names and instead had a bit of fun by sending Trump a video of the song “Maniac” from Eighties movie Flashdance. On Fox News Sunday, Trump said Cruz has conducted himself “like a bit of a maniac”. “You know people don’t know that about me”. “They’re judges. My father-in-law was the first Muslim judge”. When I say this – I’m running to do the right thing. In other words, Trump’s unfiltered bigotry puts anti-p.c. warriors like French in a bind, forcing them to police Trump’s speech for its political expediency-to practice political correctness-while simultaneously conveying enough Islamophobia to appear open to the “hard truths” (read: forms of bigotry) that underwrite the popular backlash against political correctness. He anxious it would play into the hands of Islamic radicals and risked turning the “good ones against us”. Fauzia Din, a USA citizen living in Fremont, was asking the court to require immigration officials to give a better explanation for why her husband’s visa was denied, but Justice Anthony Kennedy in a concurring opinion cited the government’s plenary or complete power to exclude immigrants and said the government’s reference to an anti-terrorism statue was sufficient.
Trump is feeding our fears, and we must not let fear “win”. But many Donald Trump supporters are angriest at a group of white Christians.

“I like how he’s just up front”, he said, “and doesn’t care what people think”.
