Donald Trump Earns More Muslim Support Than Rest of GOP Field Combined


From Bright-Fart:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)–an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial, and a designated terror organization in the United Arab Emirates–conducted a poll of 2000 Muslim voters throughout six Super Tuesday states. 
The results, released Wednesday, were surprising. 
While Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% earned 46% and 25% support, respectively, Donald Trump has the support of 11% of Muslims, more than the rest of the GOP field combined. 
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% comes in second with 4%, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% wins 2%, John Kasich just 1%. 
Among Republican Muslims, their number one concern is the economy (38%), followed by Islamophobia (14%), health care (12%), and foreign policy (10%). Democrat Muslims are primarily concerned with Islamophobia (27%), followed by the economy (19%), health care (13%), foreign policy (12%), and civil liberties (10%). 
A full 67% of the Muslims polled are Democrats; 18% are Republicans; 10% declined to answer.
I work with a Muslim man who is a Trump supporter.

I've never asked him why.

The only Americans or immigrants who wanted to be americans who were muslims I had personal contact with were research physicians and surgeons in my field.

There were unified in wanting to be here in order "to escape the madness". One withdrew his family from their mosque after 9/11.

We avoided discussing Israel, but this subject was EASY.

It's not shocking that Americans who are muslims and want AMERICA, want to keep away the predatory, and malignant violence and fanaticism.

I'm quite sure that is his reasoning. There's almost no reason to ask why.

Interesting as well that the Counties in Texas that Trump beat Cruz were the heavily Hispanic border counties.

I agree, RT.

Who here already, and VOTING (there hopefully legal) wants to see crimaliens swamping trains headed north in the belief they have a right to cross any border.
