Remember the song from a couple of years ago, “What if God was one of Us?”

I always scratched my head on that one.

God is one of us, because he’s in all of us. Unfortunately Libs are too blind to see it, and too deaf to here His Truth.

Very sad that people go through such self imposed misery.

Another difference between libtards and normal people - libtards focus on what people say. Normal people focus on what they do. Trump can say anything he wants - won’t really mean much to me. I don’t care if he is a good speech maker - look where having a good speech maker as president has gotten us. Boner and McTurtle say the right things, they just don’t do them. I want someone who will do what it will take to reverse the downfall of this country, and Trump is one of the small group of candidates that I think will do that.

I think we should be looking at the advertisers behind the far-left media and getting in touch with them. Some of the Daily Beast’s advertisers that I’m seeing:

Friskies
Land Rover
Charles Schwab Intelligent Portfolios
Dish
Burberry
State Farm
USBank

Trump has said that repeatedly that he is motivated by profits in his decisions. He said so in the first debate. He is NOT opposed to sucking from the gubmint teat if that means it profits him. So, any honest observer must ask — what kind of profit is he scheming now? Don’t tell me that a 75 year old life-long profit-oriented businessman, all of a sudden, is doing this “for the country”.

Tomorrow you'll be telling Trump, "You didn't build that!!!!"

Give me the business man. Politicians are done.

Worshipping Trump.

If they are then would it be OK for Catholics to venerate Mary, and not worship her?

Maybe the Evangelicals who would not vote for a Mormon realize now it is better to have someone who is nominally Christian than to have, say, a Muslim.

Evangelicals were supposed to hate Donald Trump.

Premise is wrong from the beginning. Evangelicals aren't supposed to hate anybody. We may disagree vehemently, but that doesn't equal hate. Of course the hateful left cannot understand that.

That is a false canard. Evangelicals voted for the Mormon over the anti-Christian socialist.

There is no such thing as “nominally Christian” kinda like you are either pregnant or you are not. Mormonism isn’t any more Christian than Islam. Both use different poisons, but the same death will result.

Luke 11:23
23”He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.

A pox on the Daily Beast, and on this progressive harpie. (Could Satan be any more obvious these days? Daily "Beast"?)

I don't worship Trump--I worship the Lord Jesus Christ, and serve him only. Trump is a strongman politician saying things that individuals wish politicians had the nads to say, but don't. That really is the basis for Americans liking him.

However, I have the feeling that America is going to regret climbing into bed with the charming Donald. You think Obama had a "pen and a phone?" You wait until Trump starts throwing his weight around. I believe you will all be sorry for supporting him. Any man powerful enough to give you what you want is powerful enough to take away everything you have. Trump will ride America like Putin does the Russian bear.

As I have said before, America is not voting herself out of the mess we are in, and Trump or Hillary or anybody else at the Federal level just wants more power, which will make it all worse.

Don't you mean 'Maybe the Evangelicals who would not vote for a Mormon Mitt Romney realize now it is better to have someone who is nominally Christian than to have, say, a Muslim Barak 0bama.' ?

Don’t tell me that a 75 year old life-long profit-oriented businessman, all of a sudden, is doing this “for the country”.

The goal of any contract is to be mutually beneficial to each party. What is your problem with a "profit-oriented businessman?" Do you think Dan Price, the CEO of Gravity Payments, is a fool or a hero for increasing all of his employee's salaries to $70,000 no matter their job description? Businessmen have to be profit-oriented or they will be out of business quick-time. Why would anyone want to have anything to do with a business that could not make a profit and force itself out of business?

Donald Trump is smart enough to know that in "doing this “for the country”" he is also doing it for himself. That is the most important quality for a leader to have. I am smart enough to know that, if given a chance Trump will "Make America Great Again" and in doing so, will float all of our boats.

They wouldn’t know who God is if they met him on the street wearing a name tag.

They need to go for a peaceful walk in His great Creation I would say.

I’m a nominal Christian and if you don’t like or believe I can be such that’s your problem. Not mine.

No Evangelicals stayed home in record number, and that is how The Dictator—or whatever the heck you want to call him—won a second term.

This is the second time Evangelicals have ruined my life because I grew up with them.
