Over the past four years President Trump has established himself as a man of his word – promises made, promises kept. And that’s especially true among Evangelical Christians.
President Trump has been more of a friend to people of faith than any other president dating back to President Reagan.
He is without a doubt the most pro-life president in American history. He has nominated constitutionalists to the federal courts. And he is also a rock-solid defender of the Second Amendment.
So you can imagine the consternation among social conservatives and Evangelical Christians when the Trump campaign erased those significant campaign issues from their official second term agenda.
There was no mention about defending the unborn, or the Second Amendment or putting constitutionalist judges on the bench.
For weeks now conservatives have been quietly and aggressively working behind the scenes to urge the campaign to fix the glaring omissions.
“Why in the world would the campaign risk veering away from the issues that matter so much to conservatives,” one prominent conservative leader told me. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
Another suggested something more nefarious might be going on within the campaign and among Establishment Republicans.
“It sounds as if someone deep inside the swamp has tried to hijack the campaign’s agenda and hurt the president’s relationship with the core base of his support,” one Evangelical leader told me.
The good news is that those quiet voices behind the scenes were successful in righting a very dangerous wrong. Over the weekend, the campaign’s agenda was revised to include a section titled, “Defend American Values.”
The campaign promised to:
*Continue nominating constitutionalist Supreme Court and lower court judges
*Protect unborn life through every means available
Oh good grief.
b*tch, b*tch, b*tch.
Closet liberal troll attempting to spread discord. Ignore.
For blame I’d start with Jeff Sessions, but it’s a long list.
Occams Razor.
He’s trying to sway a few of those squishy suburban Karens away from voting for Biden.
Do I believe Trump will ever abandon the unborn, or the 2A? No, I do not.
If ya gotta ask the question, you have not been paying attention for the last four years.
Town Hall has some never Trumo swamp moles. This guy is one of them.
To clarify, Trump’s first term is the main cause of the problems and issues of the second, and the headwinds encountered in the first, drew breath thanks to Sessions.
This would be such a different country, so much better, if not for the resistance from Democrats and the incompetence and antagonism from the GOP.
It’s rather sad to watch Right Wing sites melt down.
I see the name Town Hall these days and rank it right up
there with the Huffington Post or the Hill.
I ignore them.
What Town Hall hasn’t grasped yet, is that when he outed
the Swamp in D.C., their name came up.
These people who don’t realize we’ve woken up to them are
living in a fantasy world.
Bill Krystol, are you listening?
LOL, he’s got enough “hot button” issues going on as it is, why they trying to stir up another hornets nest?
My own wish list for President Trump’s second term is very reliant on both recapturing the House and significantly improving the number of Republicans in the senate.
1) Make it easy for disgruntled Americans to permanently surrender their citizenship and leave the US, and in most cases with most of their wealth.
2) Lease a large enclave from an African nation with plenty of amenities, so that African Americans can “repatriate” with Africa, after a time getting that nation’s citizenship.
3) Ramp up prosecutions of criminal Democrats going way back.
4) Abolish REAL ID, and limit the Patriot Acts to only be used against terrorists, and enemies of the United States not ordinary criminals nor citizens.
5) Break up the MSM cartel with antitrust. Then break up the “too big to fail” corporations.
6) Continue with the purge of political and radical and corrupt bureaucrats.
My hope is by 2022, the new GOP will have a solid bench to start winning more races in Congress.
For 2020, we’re still trying to recover from 2018, with all of the retirements of the deadwood, but I believe Trump is inspiring a new generation of solid GOP politicians.
The way I see it, President Trump made these issues in his first term...he WILL continue them and just added his second term issues to them...
By using the power of the executive branch, Trump and his administration have severely restricted health care access, reproductive rights, and civil rights for targeted groups. The federal courts could stand as a backstop, but Trump has stacked the courts with extreme right-wing judges. Nearly 200 Trump-appointed judges now occupy lifetime positions on the federal bench — many with records incredibly hostile to sexual and reproductive health and rights, and all poised to make decisions about our rights for a generation. These judges include Trump’s two appointees on the United States Supreme Court, who will be ruling on numerous cases impacting our rights and freedoms this year — including big cases on abortion access, birth control, and LGBTQ rights.
“For the first time since Roe v. Wade, America has a Pro-Life President, a Pro-Life Vice President, a Pro-Life House of Representatives and 25 Pro-Life Republican State Capitals!”
(On The Issues)...on Abortion.....read it.
Look around. By 2022, dems will have fled large cities and begun a new Sherman march across rural areas around the US. The economics of large offices don’t make sense in the current cycle of tech. Dem demographics/migration is a contagion that will only continue to increase. What will the gop run on? Less spending? Lol.
Notice the definition of marriage is not included. I believe Jared Kushner played a big role in shaping the party platform.
I just saw your post. . . after finding this link about Kushner.
