I have no problem with that. The "faith" as you pointed out is one of the reason behind the driving force of these people.
It is not a question of if you have a problem with it.
It is more of a question of why do you believe he can do it?

hm.
So, no else one can see that the GOP is about to disassociate from Trump? No one else can see that Trump will be 'forced' to run as an independent/third party candidate?
When he does just that and fractures the conservative vote, will his supporters be fooled into thinking the party forced him out?
Or will some people wake up to the scam being pulled by the two parties and Trump?
You don't think Donald Trump has not studied the Ross Perot model? There is one variable that you are missing in the Donald Trump model opposed to the Ross Perot model. The last midterm elections the Republican were given the votes needed to stop the Kenyan Communist and they welched on their deal. That pissed a lot of Republicans and Conservatives off, if Trump leaves the Republican party a large percentage would go with him.
Oh, I think he has studied it.
And I think what you are missing is how effective Trump's mantra has been in destroying his chances in the general election. Trump goes where he is told to go, changes parties more often than his underwear, and wreaks damage on whatever political target needs damaging. The mantra that he is 'refreshingly honest and un-PC' is the opposite of the truth -- so it has been highly effective in obfuscating the truth: Trump is liar, provocateur, and a political operative.
I don't care how fed up you are with political correctness, you cannot alienate multiple voting blocs and expect to win in the general election. Trump's 'refreshingly honest and un-PC' mantra fooled his supporters into forking the election over to democrats. Specifically, conservatives cannot win in Florida by insulting hispanics. Bush only won Florida by 537 contested votes. The hispanic population has grown there by 50%, since then. Without Florida, I don't believe for a second that conservatives stand a chance to win the general election.
And they don't stand a snowball's chance if Trump is "forced out" of the republican party and runs as an independent/third party candidate...especially if he takes all of his supporters with him.
Trump will fracture the conservative vote so badly that democrats will win with a mandate.
His supporters have thrown what is necessary to win a general election out the window for the sake of being un-PC...there were led by the pied piper...

As other pointed it out, because of: 8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens
I had the feeling also that Trump will not have any problems exposing corruption within our government, as he doesn't care how his own personal affairs are exposed.
Like I said politics will never be the same after Trump.
He can not exclude people on the basis of their faith.

I believe this is all about Trump not being bribed by the NWO lobbyist.
He is the only running official, not bought and paid for by the controlling corrupt Lobbyist.
At this point the NWO lobbyist don't know what to do, they know Trump will not go along with their agendas and this throws a wrench in their plans.
Trump is well known to get things done, he is a manager. He is one of the best managers in the world in getting projects done.
I am not saying Trump is perfect by no means. However we need a business man that really understands Banking and finances to bring this country out of this recession and bring our industries back and put Americans back to work.
The greedy corporate lobbyist have outsourced everything and made America a none producing Nation. This needs to change.
I haven't heard from any of running g officials how they will bring work back in the USA. Trump is willing to bring back Tarp if necessary.
I am voting for Trump, not someone who owes favors to the elite.
Bernie Sanders defended not talking about ISIS on Tuesday, moments after his national press secretary walked into a press conference and asked reporters not to ask questions about the terrorist group. Symone Sanders, Sanders’ spokeswoman, walked into a press conference room shortly before the senator wrapped up a roundtable on urban poverty and Black Lives Matters. After outlining the topics that the group spoke about, Symone Sanders said, “Don’t ask about ISIS today.” Press aides regularly outline the topic of meetings, but it is unusual for them to outline what questions reporters can and can’t ask.

Trump picked the only time he'd
actually have a shot at winning.
Either way, no third-party candidate has ever won a presidential election. ... Some third-party candidates have managed to win congressional elections. But in presidential elections, the effect of third parties has been minimal in most cases.

He's certainly thrown the other candidates into a tailspin, and it has been entertaining to watch them squirm. Paul Ryan, case in point.
BTW, a CNN pole this morning said he's dropped 11 points in the poles since yesterday, from 33% to 22% and yet Rubio and Cruz's numbers rose only slightly. Oh, the question in the poll was "do you think he can win?"
Have we ever had an Independent win an election?
eta: Answered my own question: No.

Fair point, but doesn't that go for any issue?
