Trump is the frontrunner and he is anti-establishment. All those named have an incentive to denounce Trump.

The rub of this is that while saying Trump is full of it, (which I agree with), they fail to acknowledge the reasons the 'plan' is attractive to many, (even 45% of Democrats.) At this late date, it amazes though not surprises me that the political class is so clueless.
People are not 'afraid' they are angry that the threat isn't being addressed seriously. They've been showing this in the polls and also by their votes over and over. They want action-they'll take anyone who SAYS action will be taken, even if put out with little thought.

Said as you ignore the over 20 million Americans that agree with Trump on most of his statements and an even higher number of Americans that support him!
I'd say-- come on now , you are smarter than that...
Discounting millions and millions while citing a couple high profile names(to impress) . And Cheney is a Bush guy! Do you think he supporting the younger Bush might be a factor in his condemnation!??-Tyr
18 U.S. Code § 2381-Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
A lot of people followed Obama as well. Doesn't make them right.
Just like a Bizzaro Obama theDonald says things that push the right buttons for many. But people are reacting out of "anger" and "deep respect" for islam IN GNERAL. Which is not the specific enemy. It's factions WITHEN it that have to be the narrow target gov't wise.
But people's "anger" and "deep respect" make it hard not to be lazy and try and separate the chaff from the wheat when it comes to terrorism.
Now after i make a comment like that often folks rush in and say I'm missing the BIGGER picture of Shria etc.
NO, that's an aspect of islam but it not always linked to terrorism or violence. .Those Muslim's in Dearborne Michigan haven't killed anyone. (but each others to my knowledge) But they are using their numbers to effect the local laws... But even there the local council has managed to keep Sharia out. In the U.S. they are like the communist, or fascist politicians and promoters. Do we ban them? or do we defeat it at the polls? Do we make communism illegal to speak of in public. Look, yes these ideologies are dangerous. and those with neg political agenda should be watched but the tools you use to deal with bad corrosive peaceful political movements are different than those you use to stop terror attacks. Part one is we promote and MAINTAIN OUR OWN and Religion and Constitution and believe they are right and strong enough to withstand the minority threat.
We just don't piss on everyone with a habib.
And we should't make the problem appear WORSE than it really is.
Less than 100 deaths in the U.S. since 911 from muslim terrorist. That HAS TO BE acknowledged as REAL. To do otherwise and to pretend that every muslim is a potential 911 is just plain stupid.
sorry it just is.
people are upset with those that don't acknowledge the good police but somehow ..because of "anger" and "deep respect"... don't want to remember of all the Muslims that are working next to them, in the military, on the police force, at day cares, working in kitchens, heck i use to have an old Mercedes and my Mercedes repair shop owner was muslim. maybe he put a bomb in my car right? you can't be to sure right? I only think that because i'm "angry" and out of "deep respect" of course.
before we wonder if my car repairman is a terrorist should we have MORE info than he's muslim?
does "anger" at and "deep respect" of muslim terror mean people are justified in promoting BAD knee jerk "solutions".
or effectively having a political riot because they
conservatives often comment on how Liberals act on their FEELINGS unhinged from reality. Well in this case whose running on overheated irrational emotions?

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” Edumnd Burke
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
