Donald Trump's Brilliant Plan to Ban Muslims Is Brilliant

So, while the GOP rank and file are all over Trump’s idea and are even suggesting even more unconstitutional actions, like internment, you’ve got other GOPers trying to turn Trump into some kind of liberal invention.

Sorry, but the GOP owns Trump. He’s one of you. Your voters - the base GOP - support Trump more than they do other candidates who happen to share similar views on most issues. That includes immigration, where Trump’s just the most boisterous and obnoxious of the candidates. Cruz would limit Muslim refugees. So too would Jeb. Religious tests.

The list goes on and on.

And you know the GOP is in trouble when Dick Cheney is the voice of reason (though to be fair, the Bush Administration went to great lengths to distinguish between terrorists who carry out attacks claiming to be Islamic, and the more than 1 billion Muslims out there). The current crop of GOPers is incapable of making that distinction, and we see it with their inane statements on refugees, as well as the fight against Daesh/ISIL/IS, which they would just rather bomb - ignoring who, where, and how.
