(42,770 posts)every thing this guy has said - I think he thought of Muslims like they were a country. I know it's not popular to think this - but honestly think he thought - hey - let's stop them from coming in....ya, that's the ticket- stop them at the border...and blurted it out.
He does this constantly - shoots from the hip and then back tracks because he didn't think it through...His deep down motive is probably not as bad as everyone thinks - he just lacks the knowledge and tact to say it better.

(24,692 posts)after his statement -- from 30 percent the first two nights vs. 38 percent the last two nights.
Younger voters are less enthusiastic about The Donald. Twenty-nine percent of those under 45 back him compared to 38 percent of those ages 45 and over. Moreover, 30 percent of those under 45 say they would never vote for Trump.
The favorites among white evangelical Christians voting in the GOP primary are Trump (34 percent), Carson (18 percent), Cruz (15 percent) and Rubio (12 percent).
The top never support candidates are Trump, who has 24 percent saying they wouldnt back him, and Bush, at 19 percent.
republicans are big on a strong leader hence Trump's 'never apologize, just double down' approach.
