“It’s all part of a negotiation”. And for Republican candidates for president to stand by their pledge to support Mr. Trump?
On Monday evening, the Republican Party chairmen of the three early voting states also lambasted his proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States amid a spate of terror attacks.
CBS 2’s Mai Martinez talked to local Muslims who say if that’s how Trump really feels he should end his run for the White House.
Trump’s plan, which was released through his website, would require an immediate shutdown of programs that allow Muslims to enter the U.S.
Talking to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Trump said that under Roosevelt’s plan: “They stripped them of their naturalization proceedings”.
Limbaugh continued: “Trump is bringing his business acumen to politics, something politicians don’t have, business acumen, so they don’t recognize it”. Especially in the United States, Muslims represent a diverse community that includes African-Americas as well as those from many other countries such as Indonesia and Egypt, among others, he added.
He also noted that House Speaker Paul Ryan Tuesday said he would vote for Trump if he were the GOP nominee – though he omitted the fact that Ryan unequivocally rebuked Trump’s comments and said they were “not who we are as a party” and unconstitutional.
Donald Trump is bringing back the “independent” talk.
“As a Muslim, as a woman, as a Canadian, as a young person, every time someone makes a comment that is exclusionary and prejudiced, it is disappointing and somewhat unnerving”, she said.
“This latest “outrage” from Trump is a flawless example of how he plays the media – how he knows exactly what to do and how to do it to own their attention and airtime”, Limbaugh said.
Rauner says he “strongly, strongly” disagrees with Trump, although he said cooperation between federal agencies and the states on the background of refugees could be better.
Trump’s proposal has been denounced by many of his fellow Republican presidential candidates.

“Once again, Donald Trump has chosen bombastic rhetoric over sound judgement”, Senator Dan Coats (R-Indiana) said in a tweet. “And we don’t want to have another World Trade Center”.
