There are a lot of surprising things about Donald Trump's campaign. He has been atop polls almost constantly for nearly five months. Contrast that to GOP primaries of recent past, in which a series of "front-runners" have come and gone before a nominee was chosen.
Likewise, he seems not only immune to fact checks but is helped when he is perceived to be a victim of media targeting — even when he has made blatantly untrue claims and refused to back down.
Wednesday provided the latest Trump news that shocked (shocked!) many: Nearly two-thirds of likely GOP primary voters said in a Bloomberg poll that they supported his proposal to block all Muslims from entering the U.S. — a proposal that many legal scholars say would be unconstitutional and that many of Trump's GOP opponents blast as "un-American."
But when you look at Americans' attitudes, not only on that specific question of Islam but toward politics in general, a lot of things that have surprised the political establishment about Trump aren't surprising at all.

A lot people feels negatively toward Jews, Catholics and Mormons. We don't base our freedoms on feelings.

Please think before you respond with a bunch of BS , the people of this country are tired of the political correct . Islam , is NOT a religion , it is a cult and a theology .
We don't? Even with social media and cell phone recording that capture 5 percent of what really happened. People are burning down cities based on feelings. Many have lost homes, employement and freedom of speech based on others feelings. Your comment would flush 30 years ago but not now.
