The Trump Brand Isn't Presidential
Donald Trump and his ideas about banning Muslims from coming to this country are being slammed from all directions. And this time like a whole bunch of other times he is trying to walk it back by saying it would be a temporary measure until we can figure out what is happening.
This seems to be a pattern. Throw out some red meat to those who support him and appeal to the most base of his base.
These kind of appeals to fears that exist be really need to be stopped and called out as the worst kind of demagoguery that has no place in the serious process of electing a president of the United States. In fact it seems this pattern of attacks on people in this country may actually inflame behavior we are so concerned about. Scapegoating people of a certain religion or nationality or race isn't an American trait I agree with and think those with a different point of view need to speak out.
This is not the stuff of policy for any country that calls itself a democracy. I think it would be absolutely unconstitutional to shape an immigration policy based on some one's religion.
To say that Donald Trump has disqualified himself as a serious presidential candidate isn't an overstatement, it's actually pretty reasonable.
