The Telegraph reports that David Cameron leads the condemnation after the presidential candidate said parts of London were so radicalised “police in London are afraid for their own their lives”. It also cites the Pentagon saying his comments play in to Islamic State‘s narrative

It would probably be for the best if Trump left or was expelled from the Republican Party – otherwise, he is likely to destroy it.

My colleague John Gelmini has predicted a long time ago that Trump, a close personal friend of the Clintons, would go independent.

The thing is, given his popularity, are the Republicans ready to excommunicate him?

Thoughts?

According to this highly charged article in the Washington Post, the GOP front-runner is a fascist, and conservatives need to reject him.

Unlike the BBC’s alarmist article, the Post’s article is actually well argued. The thread is that Trump uses similar tools to fascists. So the conclusion is that Trump is a fascist and America’s modern Mussolini.

Again, I say that I don’t agree with Trump but surely it’s better to debate the issues rather than this extreme character assassination?
