And this is not a ban on immigration its a ban on them entering. Tourists too.

Cruz and Paul have called for bans on immigration from certain Islamic nations.

Yep. Literally everyone in the press is tweeting it out now.

Nah. You overestimate humanity. See imperial Japan and Nazi Germany and the current rise of right wing nationalism in Europe.

Rand Paul is a coward who will hopefully be crucified by his father's base. He's not a libertarian.

Can we please emigrate all of his supporters that continue to support him after this?
On his first day in office, he'll know more about where the hatred comes from then any of the generals, believe me.

It's not like people that want to attack and terrorize innocent people would like about something like their religion to do so.

Internment camps are the only way to top this.

He's that dense about everything.
The man is a walking collection of racist, ignorant GOP arguments. The instant you put what he says into any kind of real-world context the entire thing comes crashing down.
His shtick is getting tired. He's not getting any additional supporters and most everyone already knows what a shitstain of a human he is. Protracting his campaign serves no purpose. I'm not even interested in him staying "just to destroy the GOP", because the GOP has been in shambles since 2008.

I don't understand. I mean, at best, he is a competent troll having the time of his life. At worst, he is a bigotred, racist nationalist who actually thinks all the terrible stuff he's claiming. Either way I see a lot of people supporting him simply because he's not bothered to be politically correct. How does this make any sense? Do people really just vote for the sake of screwing over the opposition? Or do people really think that getting Trump elected will lead to less sitcom and corrupt politics? I'm not an American so I don't know how bad the state of USA politics actually is, but there are some poeple in America that I respect a lot who support Trump.

Yeah well, if he had put a timetable or some kind of goal in place. What the fuck does until we figure out what's going on mean?

It's been said ad nauseum since the beginning of the campaign, but since it's gone on this long it's actually interesting to consider it satire. He's exposing conservatives.

I'd love to hear how he thinks he could even do this. I can't believe this guy is for real. He's almost become some sort of comic book bad guy with his evil schemes.

The GOP have been gunshy about saying anything positive about minorities since McCain was loudly boo'd not only for saying Obama was not a muslim, but a 'good man.'
Update: it's a ban on both immigration and tourism.

Yes. Think about our Government shut downs. No one cares about whats right, or productive, or healthy.
Its a team thing at this point. We want our team to win! People aren't educated about any issues or any content. They vote on blurbs. This is what trump is highlighting, and its a devastating problem for any real political discourse. This is what the GOP gets for pandering to insane racist religious bigots.
But, its past the point of just watching someone get their comeuppance. Its dangerous thinking, its already getting violent, and we are seeing this all unravel right before our very own eyes.
I don't know if it's necessarily satire, per say, but there's no way in hell he fervently believes even half the shit he spouts. He knows you go hard right to win the republican nomination, so he's just testing this shit.
The key is that he probably doesn't actually give a flying fuck about being president. That's what holds back a lot of candidates. They think about the general. If he doesn't really care if he's president and more just wants the fame, why not?

this isn't going away when Trump goes away, btw. (if he does)

How would the tourism industry fare with such a large number of people banned? Wouldn't this have a big economic impact?

After witnessing two terms of childish obstructionism and hysterical bile from the Republican party, yes, I'm convinced that many people really are that petty.
