On Tuesday night, history was made. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz ended his run for the White House, making billionaire businessman Donald Trump the presumptive GOP nominee whether you like it or not.
Something that most political pundits thought could never happen has become reality. Despite espousing positions that many commentators believed would keep Trump from the nomination, never mind the White House, Trump seemed to be on his way to winning both.
One of Trump’s most controversial positions, of course, has been his proposal to ban all Muslim immigration to the United States temporarily while officials determine a better way to screen potential immigrants.
In an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump stressed that his controversial plan to ban “all” Muslims from entering the United States will still be a position he holds going into the general election.
“Do you still believe Muslims should be banned from entering the country until we can figure out what is going on, as you have said?” asked the host.
“We have to be very vigilant. We have to find out what exactly is going on,” Trump responded. “We have a president who won’t even mentioned the term radical Islamic terrorism.”
“I have to do the right thing,” he continued. “I’ve been guided by common sense, by what’s right … we’re allowing thousands of people to come into our country … nobody knows who they are.”
We ban all Muslims to figure what out? Why is it my responsibility to try and interpret the idiotic ramblings that come out of this guy’s mouth? What’s the plan? Details?
