...Called for Republican leaders to withdraw their support of the candidate they called a “threat to the survival of the Republic.”

Republicans, democrats, progressives, conservatives ... all saying the same thing.

"Extinction level event" ...complete with threats of ethnic cleansing and nuclear war...

Their comments make it obvious our education system is flawed, because if they think that Trump is the worst thing to happen because of his tendencies, they aren't learning enough. And nowhere have I heard him talk about dividing people. So he wants to ban Muslims UNTIL (key word) there is a better vetting system and wants to keep illegals from coming by building a wall. He may or may not really build a wall, but it is not THAT hard to get legalized. Some reform may be necessary as far as cost and wait times, but legalizing people so they aren't taken advantage of and paid slave wages, is a good thing. Also companies would have to pay everyone liveable wages, so they would certainly love Hilary to win

Yes, uneducated people know best, right?

UNTIL is the key word UNTIL Trump decides it isn't... all of those ridiculous leaps of logic applied to Obama turning the US into a caliphate based on nothing, but when Trump wants to ban an entire religion it's all harmless.

Do you ever actually think about what you're saying?

I'm guessing he won't support them either. Let's face it, there is so much pressure for safe spaces for spoiled rotten liberal poosy weenies especially in places such as harvard, I'm surprised they're not all required to be flogged daily by communists for the sin of having a 'Republican Club.'

According to this poll 67% of republicans support a Muslim ban until better screening. Among all likely voters it's 45% vs 42% with 12% undecided. An NBC poll I see has it 50% for and 46% against.

Like saying Bill will vote for Hillary.

Let me save you all the trouble. Tomorrow some __________ establishment republican will say they aren't supporting Trump.

There you go, no need to post about it anymore.

In case you all missed the memo, Trump ran against the republican establishment. What part of that did you miss?

Furthermore, those supporting Trump care less if any establishment republican organizations or groups come out to support him. All it does is continue to galvanize their support for him.

How, after all this time, can liberals be so oblivious to what has happened that they think any of this is news? Are they all that daft?

They are mentally stuck in the traditional political model. They'll come around just like people came around to the Internet, cell phones, etc.

If there is a known group that is highly associated with acts of terror and proud links its own religion to those acts, why is someone running for President (of any country) a bad person for wanting to reduce his citizens' exposure to future immigrants with that religious background?

Muslims themselves are proudly linking Islam to these acts of terror, yet Obama and the Democrats have to make idiots out of themselves trying to explain there is no relation between the two. If Muslims are 20% of the world's population, the probability of Muslims being responsible for just (3) consecutive terrorist attacks is (1/125), or < 1%. Imagine how much lower the chance is for, say, 5 or 10 in a row.

The insane position is that of the Democrats, which is to increase refugee resettlement from Syria and bring even more Muslims to the US.

Trump or anyone else who wants to limit the number of new immigrants from Muslim countries is not proposing this out of malice or absence of evidence. They're using real data to inform future decision making. What's wrong in that? Maybe if liberals used the same thought process, they wouldn't double down on the same failed policies of the past.

This is what we want to import here? Why?

There's two sides to every story - especially when it comes to the media with it's false perceptions - best to google and see all the stories before sticking your neck out.

"NBC declared it received “more than 500 signatures from students, alumni and faculty in the week since it was made public.”
Sounds damaging, doesn’t it?
A cursory visit to the Wharton University website reveals the school has 225 standing faculty members, 241, non-standing faculty members, 4,931 students in degree programs, 9,200 executive education participants and approximately 94,000 alumni.
As of this writing, the open letter has 602 signatures out of a possible 108,597.
That’s a whopping 0.55 percent of possible signatures.
But the headline “Less than one percent of Wharton students and faculty don’t like Trump” probably didn’t fit the narrative NBC was going for."

Given the harassment directed at college Republicans by Progressive students at many, many Leftist institutions of higher learning, I'm not surprised by the Harvard Republican Club's public declaration. Publically supporting Trump has become dangerous to one's career or safety in some parts of the country. I've never seen such hatred for opposing views in any previous election in my lifetime. It is frightening that the Left is so hostile and intent on crushing dissent (including banning Conservative speakers at universities), especially in college environment where opposing views should be freely discussed.

Just because these Republican kids say they won't support Trump, it doesn't mean they won't vote for him, in my opinion.
