Poll: Should Trump's comments get him kicked out of the presidential race?

Hillary Clinton has described Trump’s comments about Muslims as “reprehensible, prejudiced and divisive.”

DONALD TRUMP HAS been widely criticised after calling for a “total and complete” block on Muslims entering the United States.

The Republican presidential frontrunner has been increasingly virulent in his remarks targeting Muslim Americans since the Paris attacks, and again in the wake of last week’s shootings in California.

A White House spokesperson said the comments were “contrary to US values and interests”, while presidential candidate Martin O’Malley described them as “fascist”.

Trump’s campaign team said the halt on Muslims entering the country should remain in place “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on”.

So today we’re asking: Should Trump’s comments get him kicked out of the presidential race?


Poll Results:

Yes (7113)
No, he's entitled to his opinions (6029)
I don't know (362)
