Ad Hominum Political Fallicies

In politics, ad hominum pretty much focuses on attacking a political party rather than addressing that party's concern. A video and article about donald trump's speech made people comment and attack.  Trump answered a question about the middle east which was " a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States," following his openness to the idea of establishing a database to track those that are already within the country, is beginning to cost him business opportunities in the Middle East.

"Landmark Group, a Dubai-based holding company that operates the regional home retail chain Lifestyle, announced on Wednesday that its stores would no longer carry "Trump Home" — a line of luxury furnishings inspired by the real estate mogul's properties — in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. If other retailers follow suit, the trend could deal a serious blow to Trump's bottom line, since businessman-turned-reality TV star now makes most of his money from selling his name to golf courses, luxury developments, and retail goods.After Trump's "complete shutdown" proposal, Landmark CEO Sachin Mundhwa said that his stores would no longer be in business with the presidential candidate."In light of the recent statements made by the presidential candidate in the US media, we have suspended sale of all products from the Trump Home décor range," he said. Mundhwa declined to estimate the value of the Trump contract."
A comment about Trumps plan "This is what the Republican party deserves. For years their politicians and talking heads have hinted at these exact kind of policies in a way where they wouldnt completely offend the opposition yet convey the message in that "wink wink nudge nudge" manner to satisfy the crazies. Now they have a guy who says exactly what they've always wanted without any constraints and its completely alienated the party from any moderate followers they may have had. This is the Republican base, not the Trump base and this is what people like me have been trying to point out ever since the tea party wave in 2010. Some of the nastiest politics have taken place in their corner of the ring.
