Trump backers baffled by criticism of his Muslim proposal

J.W. Stepp, 83, a registered Republican of Phoenix, Arizona said, "Donald Trump is saying what 95 percent of the people of this country, that belong to this country, that were born and raised in this country, feel and think".
Everybody in the civilized world thought it would happen when Trump said that as president, he would bar all Muslims from entering the United States.
They see his plan as a practical, short-term solution to the threat posed by Islamic extremists in the wake of the attack in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
The spat flared after Britain's Supreme Court unanimously knocked back Trump's appeal against a wind farm being built overlooking one of his high-end golf courses in Scotland - a case which pitted the businessman-turned-politician against the Scottish government, which had approved the development.
Trump has continued leading in national polls - raising questions like whether Republican leaders will brace for a brokered convention - but he is facing a growing challenge from Sen.
Taking a cue from his top rival, Hillary Clinton, Sen. Ted Cruz, embraced the Muslim ban as a "great idea".
Importantly, the poll was taken after the keep-Muslims-out controversy.
"The Muslim thing, that kind of blew me out", Montplaisir said. Marco Rubio's (Fla.) says "close mosques and diners" and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's says "no orphan refugees".
According to the Stanford University Hoover Institution study from September, Trump supporters are for the most part older and under-educated. It's his backbone, his certitude.
Kelly had previously campaigned against Trump's political and business activities, documenting issues with the mogul's development of a high-end golf resort in Aberdeen, which saw him come into conflict with locals. - New Hampshire state Rep. Al Baldasaro. Another poll that came out Saturday has Cruz ahead of Trump by ten points in Iowa.
Trump has been in front of the Republican pack in the 2016 race for president for the months.
It's causing so much sturm-und-drang among Republicans that there's actually talk about a brokered convention floating around. This is a different age then it was 10 years ago or 20 years ago. Mr. Trump has repeatedly angered Latinos for his bombastic criticisms of illegal immigration and his calls for stronger border protections. It is time for Republican candidates to unseat this sloppy leader and nominate another for the coming presidential elections.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview on CBS News' "Face the Nation" that Donald Trump's comments have a "huge downside", damaging to American foreign policy and the country's image overseas.
