Well, the latest from Donald Trump is that he issued a campaign statement calling on U.S. authorities to bar all
Muslims from entering the country until the nation’s leaders can
“figure out what is going on.”*
Many in the news media are beyond belief that Trump would propose this and in fact bar even American Muslims who are out of the country from reentering America (which is probably unconstitutional) He no doubt includes this to eliminate those who have joined ISIS. Some in the news media feel this is the last straw. But did they hear the applause after he said this? I suspect that his poll numbers may increase as a result.
But I don't know, Cruse seems to be surging in Iowa and is now ahead of Trump in the polls. This is supposed to make me happy? May the Saints preserve us! I hope he is just the flavor of the month?
Gloria Steinem said on Charley Rose the other night that "If Republicans had cancer and Obama was the only one who had a cure, the Republicans would probably refuse it." (Reconstructed as nearly as I can remember her comment.)**
