all the gop candidates under the trump tent. >> they are all driving the exact narrativiv thatihadists want to advance. that we are at war, not with barbarists, violent murders but with an entire religion. this is a grave miste. >> reporter: but trump's fellow candidates are blasting him, as well. >> what he proposed was not well thought out, it was impulsive. he didn't think it through. it violates the constitution and places a r religious test and isn't the best way to do itit. >> you know how to make america greaeatagain, tell donald trump to go to hell. >> reporter: the chairman of the national republican committee saying we need to aggressively take on radical islamic terrorism but not at the expense of our american values. trump says he's the front-runner for a reason. his supporters know exactly what he stands for. >> i like what he had to say about the muslims. we got to get control. >> it's a short-term problem

going to be good for the safety of the usa. >> and the worst thing that't's ever happened to isis, the people in my party fully understand that. they're running against . for the most part they have n poll numbers. i'm leading by a lot. they get it trying to get publicity for themselves. >> reporter: now leaders from all over the world condemning trump including france and the uk. we want to show you. it is graphic. one of donald trump's hometown newspapers "the new york daily news" and showsrump with a large sword, his victim, the statue ofliberty. the message, trump has declared his own personal jihad on american values. george and rorobi >> he is stirring up so much emotion right now. want to bring in matthewowd our political analyst served as senior adviser to president george w. bush and weigh heard josh earnest s this disqualifies dald trump from the presidency. the question on the table right now does it increase his chances

>> i don't -- obviously his voters don't think if you look at the polls in the last few days he's expding his lead in places like new hampshirere and nationally in the course of this. i think donald trump has a better read on the republican electote and what connects with them emomoonally and wt they wan to hear than any of the other 17 candidates running in the gop field and i think especially in the short term this only solidifies his support in the course of this primary. the question is can he expand beyond about a third of the vote? that's an open question but right nowonald trump is the guy to beat in the republican primary. >> you alsoaw that chorus from the republican sustainment taking him on yesterday but trump is holding a real threat over that establishment. the polls show that if he runs as an independent, about 68% of his followers w would vote for him as an independndt. >> yeah, absolutely. i think what this benefits donald trump for two reasons, george, is first of alll when the mainstream media and republican establishment attack him, he gains in the polls among his

voters in the primary but i think the idea that he can keep an option out there open and to run as an independent i think empowers him in the course of this. the interesting thing, george, is the guy most likely to not run as an independent in the cose of this race is donald trump because right now donald trump is the favorite to win the gop nomination. the question actuallyy goes to will other candidatessun in the course of this as ann indepeent? >> that's one of the questions but what does the republican establishment do in the meantime? you saw hilry clinton try to tar every candate with the trtrump brhh soow do they sort of immunize themselves against getting that infection? >> i think that's a rl -- i mean i tnk that's a real problem. anybody in the course of this, any gopominee in the course of this will affected by this heateded rtoric and the problems that it's creatingg of the i ink that's a big problem for the republicans but right now donald trump is the big dog in the race. >> matthew dodo, thanks very much. >ll right, george, we move on now to tha breaking news, two
