"I'm not going to follow what the polls say," Bush said. "I apologize, but I believe what I believe. This is a horrific idea, and it sends this signal of divisiveness at a time when we need to find things that unite us. Our country has fallen apart, and we don't need presidents — candidates on the left or right — that continue to prey on that division. We need someone who can actually be president to create a set of purposes that unite us. And one of those is we need to protect the homeland from Islamic terrorism, and you don't do that by banning all Muslims."
