take his popularity so far. reporter: trump has made outrageous comments's signature in this campaign. in a june, he courted controversy after accusing drugan immigrants being runners and rapists come as he pledged to build a great while all along the u.s.-mexico border. mr. trump: when mexico sends its people, they are not sending their best. they are sending people that have lots of problems, and they are bringing those problems with us. they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists. reporter: it appears this strategy is paying off. many rank-and-file republican voters love his message, putting him at the top of most opinion polls for the past several months. >> clearly what trump is doing, and he is right to do so from a purely tactical point of view, is running for the primary in two months.

those other people who will come out to vote in january, february, and march could those other people he needs to appeal to. success hasump's unnerved many of his rivals in the residential race and a nudge them closer to many of his own positions. still, there was quick and near universal condemnation of his remarks. fellow republican candidate jeb bush said the billionaire mogul had become unhinged. but ultimately, it will be the primary voters who decide if trump has what it takes or if the latest comments prove he has gone too far. >> war from our correspondent in washington, philip crowther, on how donald trump is taking the latest controversy. ip: he has been reaffirming his controversial views all throughout the day, making a tour of all the morning he was issues programs on u.s. television, reaffirming and actually making clear that what

might have made one or two of us do a double take last night was really a policy proposal on his behalf. he doesn't want any more muslims to be entering the country for now, until the political leaders sort things out. what exactly that means, he has not been able to explain. he does say that u.s. muslims would still be allowed back into the country. he has been explaining this all the morning shows, where he was calling in himself, to defend himself, or to give himself a little bit more support. he does what he tends to do. he says he is ahead in the polls, after all. he mentions a poll in the early primary state of iowa, where he is ahead of everybody else. and a standing ovation like the one he got, as you just heard in the clip they are, in south carolina, also one of the early voting states, that buoys him on as well. he feels reaffirmed himself after the reaction he has been getting, despite all the

international outrage, and that includes also national outrage from this republican contenders for the presidency. for example, one of them is jeb bush. although jeb bush is one who says there should be religious tests refugees coming into the united states. nobody agrees with donald trump, but there are some rather extreme point of views out there. >> philip, a lot of people in united states are rather worried about who is in your country and what their intentions towards the united states are. in that vein, a bill is expected to be presented that would stop citizens of certain countries from getting entry into the u.s. without a visa. this includes france and belgium . can you tell us a bit more? philip: this is something called the visa waiver program, the kind of thing you and i might use to get into the united states asterisk without a visa. -- as tourists without a visa. 38 countries are on the list, 30 of them from europe.

as part of the proposal that is making its way through the house of representatives, not yet the senate, here in the u.s. congress, it would mean that the visa waiver necessity to have one would be put to one side, and that would be stopped for to of us who might have been specific countries in the past. those countries are syria, iraq, iran, and sudan. if you wanted to come here to the united states for the election, for example, and in iowarump's event or new hampshire, he would not be able to wave your visa. you would have to apply in the traditional way. >> the band that was playing at the bataclan concert hall when it was attacked by islamist activists last month have returned to the site for the first time today. the eagles of death metal paid a solemn tribute to the 90 people stormedhere when gunmen in part with you take on november 13.
