[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't love Trump and think he's said some pretty stupid things.  That being said, some of it has been twisted by the media. If you look at his actual positions, he's more moderate than any of the candidates. And for the Muslim poster- [b]he never said he'd prohibit Muslims from entering the country.  He said he's put a moratorium on it until we can do better background checks.  I fully support this- look at what's been happening in Europe.[/b]

I voted for Obama twice and I'll vote for Trump if he's the nominee.  If it were between Cruz and Hillary, I'd either sit out this race or hold my nose and vote for Hillary. [/quote]

The media must think most of voters have a IQ of 90 or lower that they can trick them to believe something that Trump never said. This is what I am hearing from the media - "Donald Trump wants to ban all 1.6 billion Muslims based on their religion". Give me a break. I am voting for Trump partly because of the biased media coverage against him.[/quote]
Because a "moratorium" is sooo different.  :roll: [/quote]

Yes, a moratorium while the screening process is reviewed and strengthened to prevent ir at the least minimize security risks from entering the country is not racist or bigoted. It is commonsense.[/quote]

It is hard to argue that a "moratorium" aimed at an entire religious group -- and only one religious group -- is not bigoted.

In all honesty, I struggle with this. Yes, you are right it effectively includes 1.5 billion people who are from various countries and backgrounds which does not make sense. But, I posted previously about my Muslim neighbor who every time there is an attack looks to find out if it is a Muslim that was involved and is relieved when it is not. Perhaps, out of a sense of self-preservation, he supports Trump's demand for tighter screening of Muslims. He is a citizen and he believes that another major attack in the US by Muslims will likely result in a serious backlash against all Muslims.

As another pp posted, the vast majority of attacks do emanate from Muslims - even if those doing the attacking is a miniscule portion of the population - so what is the answer to minimizing the security risk posed by entrants to the US?[/quote]

The bottom line for me is that nobody has the right to immigrate to the US; it's a privilege and we have the right to exclude those who we might reasonably feel would be bad for the US.  [/quote]
