*strongly agree. Another 18-20% "somewhat agree".

29% of CA Democrats also strongly support Trump's Muslim policy. CA might be in danger unless Hillary adjusts her position on the issue.

Yes, these polls will definitely hold true this time next year, assuming there is another islamist shooting spree around this time next year also

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

"Time's editors thought they were important" is the only thing that matters out of the possible criteria. Hitler got it in '38.

Well past winners of person of the year include the earth, the computer, Hitler, and "You". Looking for a pattern beyond "whatever means people will talk about person of the year" seems like a losing battle.

Middle-aged suburban moms are remarkably spiteful creatures, I don't think they'd cleave from Trump (assuming they were following his camp to begin with) unless harmed by him on a very embarrassing personal level such as being first to the Starbucks drive thru or having a more successful dog-sitting sole prop.

Only an idiot would do this. I have no idea what proportion of Bernie supporters are this stupid though. A "protest vote" doesn't usually mean voting for someone you don't like out of spite.

The silver lining to Trump's candidacy is it is forcing Americans to come to terms with exactly how much of our electorate votes primarily based on spite.

You can also add in any Bernie supporters who loathe Hillary and vote Trump out of spite if she wins the primary (which is looking likely, unfortunately).

I know this thread likes to poo poo on Bernie supporters for some reason but I'm definitely holding my nose and voting Hilary when the inevitable happens. I'd be surprised if that isn't the case for the majority of us.

So where does Trump go next - does he call for deportations of all Muslims (immigrants & tourists) currently in the country? Seems to be the next logical step, and you know he can't reject his business instincts and ignore the obvious synergies with his immigration plan. If you're already deporting 11 million people, what's a few million more? You know, that's the kind of savvy that I'd expect out of a business tycoon like Donald J. Trump! That kind of efficiency can only come out of good management.

Well, no, I mean the ones that aren't firmly in the Trump camp to begin with. Of COURSE they're going to stick with him.

I'm talking about the soccer mom in Peoria who makes her decision two days before walking into a voting booth. If all she remembers is that Trump called Hillary ugly or made fun of her because Bill cheated, she may go "Well that wasn't very nice".

Freepers were talking about Carter yesterday, and now its finally hit the Conservative-news machine:

Jimmy Carter Barred Iranians From Enterting the US

quote:

Despite vast criticism over GOP front-runner Donald Trump's latest comments regarding Muslims entering the U.S., this is not the first time limitations are issued on allowing foreigners from entering the country, Front Page Mag reports.

In 1980, when dealing with the Iranian hostage crisis, President Jimmy Carter issued a number of orders putting pressure on Iran — one order included banning Iranians from entering the U.S. "unless they oppose the Shiite Islamist regime or had a medical emergency."
