Several Republican presidential candidates were quick to reject Donald Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States, but not everyone.
Within an hour of Trump’s statement, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham and John Kasich had all publicly disparaged Trump’s position.
According to the Guardian’s Ben Jacobs, a spokesman for Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), claimed Paul was on the cutting edge of security for the U.S. and pointed to legislation Paul dropped in November that would have blocked many immigrants from Middle Eastern countries from coming to the U.S.

Donald Trump is unhinged. His “policy” proposals are not serious.

He’s putting at risk the lives of interpreters, American supporters, diplomats, & the troops in the region by making these bigoted comments

“Unfortunately I think Donald Trump’s over reaction is as dangerous as Obama’s under reaction,” says Fiorina on Trump’s Muslim statement.

Well Yahhhhhhhh!
Be mighty careful when firing those high powered weapons while seated inside the clown car, ricochets can be a real bitch!
That debate in eight days should be rather smashing…
I fully expect this to increase his standing among the Republican electorate.
what is that song I hear? “Springtime for Trump” ?
Will people want to do business with Trump once he returns to the business sector?
