When asked by moderator Maria Bartiromo if he’d like to rethink his controversial position on Muslims, he replied with one word: “No”. But in Thursday night’s debate, Bush finally got the better of Trump in his most successful put-down.

“We don’t need a weak person being president of the United States”, Trump told Bush Thursday, using the type of personal attack he has leaned on in previous debates. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.
He added: “I hope you reconsider this because this is a policy that makes it impossible to build a policy that takes out ISIS”. Some people might still be intent on thinking that I’m intending on causing terror with my degree in biomedical engineering and future medical degree, but if anyone wants to say that Muslims need to speak up more against terrorism: we are, you just aren’t listening. The Kurds are our strongest allies.
“The other Arab countries have a role to play in this”.

The underlying fears in the debate over Syrian refugees zeros in on concerns that terrorists could infiltrate the system or slip across borders. Also in December, a Quinnipiac University poll found 51 percent of Americans against bringing in Syrian refugees, while 82 percent of Republicans opposed it. Hamideh said not only is ISIS hurting his own people-the American people-and destroying his ancestral homeland, but the terrorist group is also threatening “the ideals of liberal democracy” intrinsic to our country. And the reasons why I’ve done is I don’t believe we have a good process of being able to vet them. Unfortunately, two who fit the bill won’t be in the debate tonight.
