I will caution everyone through the immortal words of Texas entertainer Kinky Friedman ...

"In the end, the crowd always chooses Barabbas."

“Be prepared to be disappointed. I have no faith that he’ll follow through on anything of that sort. “

He isnt going to king or a dictator.

Him being president is not an invitation for the right to kick up their heels and sit on their butts like they do every election, and just toss peanuts and flap their gums.

This time EVERYONE needs to be stay active and involved in dismantling the past 15 years of crap.

If we want this stuff done, then we had all better be ready to help him and not go to sleep.

I agree. This is basically a stupid condescending and patronizing piece.

We got through the same sh!t every election ... and the Republicans have always put up candidates with far better conservative political track records than you will ever get from a New York City billionaire.

And that still almost got us Harriet Miers -- nominated by that @sshole who was allegedly an evangelical himself.

Remember?

Many Evangelicals need to understand they aren’t electing a pastor.

I have an idea that they wouldn't agree if they were electing a pastor.

Jimmy Carter ran as a "born again evangelical" and look how that turned out.

Over 50 Republicans came out today in force for Trump led by Rumsfeld.
The purge will be the Obama flunkies and the Muslim Brotherhood put into positions of National power

Jeh, Comey, the IRS, Yellin BYE BYE and that is just the beginning.

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE ALL THE “YOU ARE FIREDS”

I spend time in Ohio and if yard signs are a measure trump is far ahead in any rural area of Ohio I’ve been thru and that’s most.

“I do think this election has consequences,” he said. “If I were to support Trump, I don’t know how I could face my Hispanic friends, my LGBT friends, or refugees in my neighborhood

Sounds like the good reverend should be more worried about facing God and less about facing his Hispanic, LGBT and refugee friends....

“...I’ll take dumb...”

Really? Dumb? Mr. Trump is an Ivy league graduate. He graduated from the Wharton School of Business within the ivy league University of Pennsylvania ranked #5 of the ivies.

Dumb Mr. Trump is not.

Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati

PCUSA, of course, although not particularly proud of the fact on their web site. They have a large facility, but went from about 180 members to about a third of that between 2006 and 2010, recovering to a present count of 69. Actual worship attendance is 45.

The reluctant voters are about as indecisive as teens.

What a joke!

“Many (maybe even MOST) of Trump’s current supporters would say the same thing. “

Well, everyone I know and everyone Mrs Catnipman knows who is for Trump, he was and still is OUR NUMBER ONE CHOICE!

None of us have EVER been lukewarm about Donald Trump!

Check out this graph of the GOP poll numbers in the second half of 2015 ...

Trump was pretty far down there until a bunch of these others started falling on their faces and dropping out. It's hard to believe that even Ben Carson had a very brief (and small) lead in the race last November.

No candidate has ever been as thoroughly corrupt as Mrs. Bill Clinton. How someone who purports to be a Christian could vote for her to lead this country is a mystery to the rest of us. As Jesus says, “By their fruit you will know them.” She has produced evil fruit for decades, including all of the seven mortal sins.

“They acknowledge being troubled by his background, multiple marriages and bravado...”

I seriously doubt that committed men of the cloth are bothered by bravado. Jesus was bold when confronting the politicians of His day.
