It's the liberal media. They have taken Trumps proposal and jumped at the latest opportunity to name call.
Trumps proposal was for a temporary moratorium on muslim immigration until we can get a handle on the security issue.
Some how people living in other countries have US constitutional rights now? The US has had moratoriums before on immigrants from certain countries.

Huh? First, not all GOP are "dyed-in-the-wool conservatives" in the first place.

Second, he is running for US PRESIDENT, which will require election by ALL the people, the majority of whom are not Republicans. He had best be concerned at how he is interpreted by them, because it won't be just the carefully-screen echo chambers he's been playing to, doing the voting (despite numerous GOP attempts to suppress non-GOP voting at any cost).

It's America, EVERYONE's opinion is valid--at least until someone like Trump or Cruz manages to get in power and change that.

Sure, you could look at that way. I didn't vote for Obama, won't be voting for Hillary or any other Democrat.

You seem to have a fundamental lack of understanding of how the United States primary system works. Trust me when I say that Donald Trump could give a rats ass what some left-winger from Socialistville thinks about him right now.

Good, then I trust you won't comment on either of them.

Umm, Francois wasn't referring to the primary...he was referring to something called the actual election. You know, when Trump gets to convince the other 85% of the electorate that he should be elected President. Good luck with that.

You are confused. There's a difference between commenting based on opinion and a distortion of facts, and commenting based on actual facts. The referenced poster has based his opinions on a distortion of Trump's position. That makes his comment 100% irrelevant.

Yeah, that's my point. This is a primary. Primaries are notoriously far right or far left for a purpose. Candidates always move to the center in the general election in order to vacuum up independents and moderates. Francois seems to not know that tiny little nugget of fact.

LOL, way to change course once the outcome looked dubious for you. Nice of you to deny other people's opportunity to comment while reserving your own. I guess thats the republicon way!

And Francois can't look beyond the primary? You have lots of very arbitrary rules for other people to follow.
