3. Again, omitting the critical pieces of the conversation to get a "ban all Muslims"
You mean a temporary ban against Muslims coming from areas where we have no idea if they are who they say they are. We need a better system for vetting them. You know, like the same Ban Obama put in place 6 times, including people from Muslim Countries.

Trump is not doing anything different than the past 6 Presidents haven't done. Common Sense again.

"Common sense" tells me 1. Trump's speech was incredibly rambling and unfocused--very disturbing on that score alone, when you think it is the commander in chief blurting out his xenophobic world view. And 2. "They're rapists" is not less racist because he is rambling about other things as well. His goal is still to excite fear and disgust at foreign, brown people crossing the border.  Adding that immigrants "bring drugs" and some are "good people" is not adding "critical pieces" that change Trump's intent.

Trump originally called for a ban "on all Muslims."  After his advisors got to him, he walked it back a bit. Any sort of ban on this religious group is still an unconstitutional religious based ban. The point of naming Muslims as part of a mass ban is to appeal to ignorance and prejudice.  Obama has not put a "Muslim ban" in place six times.

The past 6 presidents have not called to ban the entry into the US of all members of an entire faith. Nor have they warned immigrants are "rapists."

NO PREVIOUS PRESIDENT HAS TALKED LIKE THIS SINCE ANDREW JACKSON.
