Trump’s plan to ban Muslims from entering U.S. puts Republican party on verge of chaos

Donald Trump's plan to ban Muslims from entering the United States is shoving the Republican party to the edge of chaos, abruptly pitting GOP leaders against their own presidential front-runner and jeopardizing the party's longtime drive to attract minorities.

Trump fired a searing warning on Twitter to fellow Republicans.

He tweeted a majority of his supporters, "Would vote for me if I departed the GOP and ran as an independent."

That would be the GOP's worst fear and almost guarantee a Democratic victory in the presidential election.
