Thank you for not being dismissive. (Typing this on a phone so it may have a lot of mistakes)
To the first point: It sounds like the purpose of this policy would be to reduce the chances of a terrorist entering the country. That being said I think any language banning immigration from anywhere needs to be carefully constructed with inputs from both sides. The temporary nature of the halt would need to be clearly defined and an exact date provided when that restriction would be lifted. That date then becomes the hard deadline to get a system in-place to reduce the risk of terrorist coming over without that policy.
I'm no expert on immigration policy but that seems like a method, off the top of my head, that could work. I would love to have a conversation with somebody who deeply understands the process and its shortcomings to see if I'm way off base with this initial position.
To the second point: Those are things I would have never said in a public forum as a prospective leader. These statements don't immediately make me dismiss a potential leader either. Some people have a more crude and abrasive manner of speaking, but still have the ability to lead and solve problems. It's definitely a negative mark towards Trump in my book but he is still the leading candidate who can shake up the establishment.
I agree that Trump should be more careful about who and how he insults.
I feel it's easier to train Trump on politeness than it is to train Hillary on corruption.
It reads like your priorities might be misplaced.
Shaking up the establishment isn't a clear goal. It doesn't imply a solution, only that we need better solutions, or that there is something currently wrong. Desiring more competent leadership and better solutions is understandable. What is the most significant flaw in our government right now that needs to be 'shaken up'?
Do you feel that Trump addresses that flaw and provides competent leadership? What evidence do you have for that presumption? He has no political experience to draw from, so what about his career in the private sector do you find that convinces you that this experience outweighs the obvious negatives? He should have a huge success story here to warrant that level of faith.
Secondly, the charge of corruption shouldn't be made lightly. Insinuations and right wing narrative shouldn't be enough. You should require evidence. If you simply 'believe' she is corrupt for whatever reasons, that is another story.
