Pence: Muslim ban 'not Donald Trump's position now'
cnn.com ^ | 10/6/16 | Tom Kuldt

(CNN)When asked Thursday why he longer speaks out against Donald Trump's call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, Mike Pence had a simple explanation. "Well, because it's not Donald Trump's position now," Pence said during an appearance on CNN's "New Day."

Trump's so-called "Muslim ban" has been tweaked several times in the 10 months since he proposed it, making the actual substance of the policy muddled and confusing.

As opposed to becoming nuanced and specific, like when demon rats review their positions.

Sounds like a quibble over wording. Donald never said Muslim ban anyhow. Donald says vetting for likely terrorist background.

There never was going to be a Muslim ban. The point is to do a better job of vetting who gets into this country.

Well, if this does turn out to be true, it would make a Trump defeat easier to stomach.

It’s not. He’s now targeting specific countries with high instance of terrorism and doing extreme vetting.

I believe that what helped America avert such troubles in the past was greater seriousness about Christian faith. This Muslim terror thing is ultimately a spiritual battle.

I don’t think Trump ever called to “ban ALL Muslims”. This is the media putting words into people’s mouths again.

This is from a December 2015 press release from the Trump campaign: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”.

Trump's policy from the beginning was.....stop them from coming in until we figure out how to really clear them.

The ban is and always was about immigrants from certain countries.

NO ONE but NO ONE has a RIGHT to immigrate to our country.

And it can get better. As it stands now the so-called screeners don't even ask about terrorist affiliations or jihadi views.

“(CNN) - When asked Thursday why he longer speaks out against Donald Trump’s call to ban Muslims ...”

As opposed to “...why he shorter speaks out against...”?

The Ofailure Admin is also letting in the sick and diseased.

Trump did call for a freeze on letting anyone in from known terrorist areas until we find out what is “going on”.

I hope that means the whole Middle-East & anywhere Mad Moe’s people run things... we don’t need their “culture” in America.

I'd like to see a permanent ban on all Death Cultists. And deport the ones already here who aren't yet legal citizens, which is a significant number.
