...They aren't polls just of conservative states.... By a very wide margin, ordinary Republican [likely primary] voters think the stuff Trump is saying sounds great. Only about a quarter don't like what they're hearing. I don't really know what to say about this.... 14 people are killed by a couple of deranged Muslims with no real ties to international terrorism, and two-thirds of Republicans are in favor of banning all Muslims from the country. So what's happened over the past decade? Multiple things, I suppose... an election year... refugees.... Republican voters have been driven crazy by Barack Obama.... In 2001 a Republican president spoke pretty firmly against anti-Muslim bigotry. No one on the Republican side is doing that now....
