First, no candidate is planning to completely ban guns. Then: the second amendment says not to "infringe" the right to bear arms (while mentioning "regulated militias"). By definition, infringement is an unlawful act, so a lawful attempt to regulate this stricter cannot be see as infringement. So just calm down...
It does violate our core pillars as a people, but I don't really understand how he nca be disqualified for sure. Trump is a despicable human, but can someone clear this up for me? I'm not sure how you can just stop someone from running.
They can't stop him from running. I'm not defending him but he does have freedom of speech at this point. He would be impeached if he banned any religion from the U.S.
As asiannicks link says. A presidents duty is to first and foremost swear to uphold the basic rights of the constitution. Violating freedom of religion breaks that oath which is a huge no no. Like bacon said. They can't technically stop him from running. But this does bad publicity for the republican party.
We know. But this is massively bad publicity for the gop and they may tell him to drop out purely to save face. As well if he wins, the second he tries to ban muslims he violates the oath he took to uphold the constitution and he gets impeached.
True (and oh sweet Rassilon of Gallifrey am I relieved about that.) It's just, a lot of people are kind of forgetting that just because an official says it, doesn't make it true or immediately applicable.
I am doing a happy dance. I am so thankful this idiot, who I've started calling Blonde Hitler, is no longer a threat. I sadly knew too many people who were planning on voting for him.
AWWW LAWDY JESUS SOMETHING IS GOING RIGHT IN THIS WORLD FOR ONCE! But seriously he's out? This is just too good to be true I can't believe this as much as I want to.
I don't think ya'll realize that he's not actually disqualified from running for president or even becoming the president if he wins the election. Regardless of which side of the voting spectrum you fall on he's still a legally viable candidate for presidency.
We know. But if he tried this he violates the oath of upholding the rights of the constitution that a president takes and he gets impeached. As well the rest of the republican party has denounced him which likely means he'll be dropped as republican candidate
I doubt he would get impeached and even if he did it's no guarantee that he'd lose his presidency (assuming he actually wins). Clinton was impeached but he retained his position, it's just a fancy term for saying "Hey, what you're doing isn't what a president should do so we're going to give us the option of going through proceedings that will allow us to fire you if you actually did something, not that we will fire you but we could". It also looks like he might go independent if the Republican party drop him.
I believe just outright banning him does not achieve anything. If Americans show that they will not vote for such an a.hole, and will uphold their freedoms at all costs, that will really tell something to the world and especially to the ones who are aspiring to be like him.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
You guys are gonna be mad in about a week when not only is he still running, but he's doing even better in the polls.
This is casting quite a glaring light on the republican voters. Otoh Trump is probably less of an insane madcap than this Ubercreep Ben Carson. And less of a slimy suboceanic creature than Ted Cruz. So probably he IS the best candidate of thew GOP.
Nope. First of all, they aren't citizens, so they aren't granted protection under our laws, second of all, we did this before in 1952. Third, constitutional scholars say that Trump is correct.
First google "Are Foreign Nationals Entitled to the Same Constitutional Rights As Citizens?"
Then: Trump was not about race, he was about religion, different thing.
Also Trump has not even specified foreign muslims.
I mean.i don't think they can technically pull him out. But with his policy of never taking back what he says and never apologizing. And his whole party denouncing him. This is a massive blow and he may have to run as an independent as the republicans are unwilling to back him. But who knows for sure. But if elected, him trying what he said would violate not only the constitution but the oath of office as well
i don't think this is quite enough to formally be cast out from the republican running but i think hes getting close to not being welcome to represent their party
He will lose support but i doubt he will lose enought because alot of his supporters hate and distrust the media and they will wear this like a badge of honor
oh no his supporters are crazy they will probably follow him to independent. its very specifically the actual party we're talking about here, not the voters but the figureheads for the party.
You are obviously right, the more people from enemies to competitors criticize him, the more solid his bot-army is congregating behind him. Its the whole mental trailer park population and they are quite in numbers. Good news though he seems to appeal a lot to non voters.

This was a lie
Believe me
I'd kill liberal me
