Apparently Trump will be coming out as in favor of banning people on the no-fly list from purchasing firearms. Additionally, a Washington Post-ABC news poll shows Trump's unfavorability rating at 70%.

It's time for Republican leaders to jump ship.

By the time general hits he wont be a republican or a democrat. He has too many far right and far left views mixed into one bag for any party to own him.

I don't have strong feelings on the gun ban for people on the no-fly list, assuming that there's a process to dispute it, because random people are on it.

It's unbelievable that Trump suggested president Obama is somehow sympathetic towards Islamic radicals... he's never been a serious candidate.

this 100%. If it is something you can appeal to a court i dont see the issue. The same crowd who complains that "big brother chooses who is on that list" surely accept the courts as fair arbitrators.

The funniest part is after he said it multiple times on multiple days, his dummies still claim WaPo erred in characterizing his comments the way literally every other publication covered them.

Yeah he was stupid enough to say it the first time on Fox and Friends (Mitt Romney did that plenty, so same standard) but he said it again to Savannah Guthrie, and was right back to it Tuesday. It should have drawn universal condemnation.

Then he goes on a radio show and refuses to clarify what he actually meant. He's a coward.

I don't even think his problem is just one thing (other than that maybe he really is just mentally unbalanced). Every problem that he faces, big or small, is made worse by the fact that his campaign is shit. He just flat-out does not have the immensely-talented people around him who are required to complete this task. Things are just not going to run any more smoothly until he fixes this major deficiency.

I also have no problem with Trump getting elected as long as he hand delivers cupcakes to every American citizen and becomes a thoughtful moderate, since we're making wishes.

There needs to be some way to get yourself off the no-fly(or no-gun) list if you have been placed on it for no good reason. If you want to restrict someone's constitutional right to own a firearm, you better not be doing it because of bureaucratic inadequacies.
