He's stepped on plenty of third rails with absolutely no harm. It's as if his campaign simply does not adhere to the laws of physics. At this point we've got to start thinking of potential "4th rails" he could conceivably step on.

GOP Leaders Denounce Trump's Plan as Anti-American - NBC News
I do wish it had been Marco Rubio instead of Lindsey Graham calling Trump a "xenophobic, race baiting, religious bigot", but I'd say he crossed that 3rd rail with GOP politicians. The problem is that there is a portion of people in this country who are racist bigots, and if Donald Trump gives them the courage to out themselves for their retrograde views so we can properly shun them until they come join us in the 21st century maybe it'll be a good thing in the long run. The real short-term question though is just how many people really feel that way - is it a very vocal 5-10%, or is it actually up in the 25% range?
