How out of whack is Trump's desire to ban all Muslims from entering the US

[rpannier]

Ukip leader Nigel Farage released a statement saying Trump had “gone too far”.

When UKIP thinks you're too much, you definitely have issues

1. My guess is that most of the extreme RW Pubs think Trump is right.

The establishment Pubs KNOW statements like that will guarantee a loss at the ballot box. The way all f them have been pushing FEAR, I'm surprised there are ANY Pubs who don't think Trump is on the right track.

2. And when the most evil man in America (Dick Cheney) thinks Trump is bad,

Well, let's just say it sends a chill up my spine.

3. It is quite chilling

Farage, Cheney... I mean, when the Legions of Darkness openly state you've gone too far, how far off the rails have you jumped

5. That would be funny if it wasn't so true!

8. Dick is playing politics.

He's still MUCH more evil than Trump.

4. I don't see it as any more offensive than revoking people's rights

without due process....

Both are equally contrary to democratic principals....

6. I don't see how Trump recovers from this

...yeah he'll always have the neo-nazi and the conspiracy kook vote but I think he's lost main stream support.

Sure the GOP agrees with most of what he says but they're also in it to win it and when you have a guy talking about banning muslims, beating up blacks and censoring the internet, chances are their party not only gets decimated in the presidential elections but they stand to lose a bunch of seats in the house.

Unless the people backing Trump have a MIHOP or LIHOP in the works involving Islamic terrorists , he's done. There is no recovery from this and he could lose a bunch of deals in the middle east because who in their right mind would want to be associated with a guy who wants to ban their own people from entering the US.

7. From a former Trump supporter

Prominent self-made Dubai business leader Khalaf Al Habtoor spoke with regret on Tuesday about having vigorously supported Trump prior to his latest remarks, having written an enthusiastic article in a prominent Gulf newspaper last summer.

In August, Al Habtoor wrote an opinion piece for the Emirates publication The National, headlined: “Why I’m backing The Donald’s bid to be president”, praising the Republican contender as the “fearless doer” America needed.

On Tuesday, Al Habtoor lobbed fresh remarks at Trump, saying to NBC: “I’m sorry I ever supported you.”

9. +1

He is so screwed.

10. I think you might be right. This could be IT.

I suspect that a good many of his supporters are not so far gone as to swallow this new atrocity. I am hoping that what was funny and delightfully outrageous to them at first, has become alarming and frankly frightening.
