(42,770 posts)1. Not surprised at all. My thought - because I have listened to
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.

He didn't read out a calmly worded speech for nothing. He's in it to win it.

(24,692 posts)4. "It looks like his comments help him in South Carolina. Support for Trump increased eight points
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.

(13,427 posts)6. I'm surprised he jumped only 8 points. I would have guessed 15 at a minimum.

I was thinking of a number between 5 and 10%. I was hoping it would be just 5%.

though I suspect the band wouldn't let him use it unless he acknowledged what it means.
