If you don't stand for innocent life you cannot call yourself conservative. To accept his excuses for political bribes through campaign donations, his supporters cannot call themselves conservatives either.
Yes, let’s dump Trump based on ONE issue.
The guy has the ability to turn this country around and drag it from the economic toilet, but on an issue that doesn’t affect the live of 95% of the people on this board, that has ZERO impact on economic stability or national safety, let’s dump him for someone polling at 7%.
Yes, let’s dump Trump based on ONE issue.
Yes, let’s dump Trump for not flapping his gums on this issue while giving Cruz a pass for jumping in the sack with Paul Amnesty Ryan to enable Obamatrade and other secret Obama deals.
What Cruz did on TPA as an elected official is far worse than Trump refusing to get pulled into this issue. Yet the one issue warriors and Cruz supporters refuse to see that.
This is a very important issue, not as important as immigration but still very important if you are a Christian. The left is outlawing the practice of Christianity and persecuting practicing Christians. That is kind of important.
That is the kind of thinking why we are where we are now. It does not affect me so who cares. Kim Davis, the baker, the florist - sad but who cares it won't affect the rest of us -- until it does.
Who cares to have a flourishing economy if your freedom of speech, freedom of religion is government controlled. Is that far fetched? We would be fools if we still think so.
If people withdraw their support for Trump because he’s advocating following the law, then this country deserves to go down the tubes. I happen to think the amount of income tax I have to pay is an illegal abuse of power, and the money taken from me is being used for things that I find morally reprehensible. If we are honest, we are all complying with unjust laws to avoid prison and societal chaos.

One issue?
Religious freedom is a pretty big issue, genius.
You are wrong that this issue doesn't affect 95% of the people on this board. It affects 100% of the people in this nation.
Not to mention he is correct.
Tomorrow: Yes, let’s dump Trump based on TWO issues.
Next Day: Yes, let’s dump Trump based on a few issues.
Compromised principles on display for all to see, folks!
BTW, it’s not only one issue.
Trump doesn’t want to tear up the Iran deal-—he wants to “police” it.
He’s lauded Planned Parenthood as doing great things for “women’s health”, and believes abortion is only a small part of what they do.
Earlier he said it was time to move on from the queer marriage issue.
He had a close working relationship with Al Sharpton, wanted to make Charlie Rangel Secretary of HUD, donated $25,000 to Terry McAuliffe’s Virginia gubernatorial campaign, etc., etc.
Every day more evidence of Trump’s liberalism and his lack of fitness for the presidency emerges. And every time, his most devoted fans dismiss it and say, “Who cares, it’s one issue.”
That just doesn’t wash anymore.
Suppose the “one issue” was on immigration and Trump was pro-amnesty?
I’ll bet you would criticize Trump so fast it would make your head spin - if he went the wrong way on that “one issue”.
Religious freedom is my litmus test issue and Trump has failed miserably.
No, this is the issue! We followers of Jesus Christ have read our history. We have read Bonhoeffer and how he had to give his life for his Christian principles. We’ve read Fox’s Book of Martyrs and know what is coming. This Davis lady is just the first of many that will be imprisoned in America for their Christian faith. Trump has said this about his faith “Donald Trump talked about his Christian faith Saturday, but said he’s never sought forgiveness for his sins.” My feeble human trust lies with candidates such as Cruz, Walker, Huckabee, and Carson.

No president has that sort of ability. What they can do is set the conditions for growth through leadership and rhetoric while getting the government out of the f’n way.
You are expecting Trump to DO something!
That’s not the way a economy is set free to grow.
This is probably my biggest objection to Trump. He understands the business world, but he does not translate that to less regulation and less government equals dynamic growth.
lolol. What a stupid remark. I see by all the many comments how everyone else told you off.
As best I've been able to tell, people are ready to nominate Trump based on ONE issue.
And for the record, the Kim Davis case encompasses A LOT more than one issue. If we don't have religious freedom, all of the border security in the world is worthless. I doubt that immigration status will be a big topic of conversations when those of us who are Christians are being sent to the gulags.
It’s not an “issue” it’s a worldview.
Agreed. One has to weigh candidates views on a range of issues.
The guy has the ability to turn this country around and drag it from the economic toilet,
Not necessarily. He won't be CEO of a company putting in some high rise. His companies have filed for bankruptcy four times. Trump has many strengths as a business man and has run things with successes and failures but zero political experience.
I do like Trump for his willingness to fight and his stand on immigration. The fact Trump has no political experience allows many to see what they want to see. The same thing happened with Obama.
He can’t be soaking illegal immigration laws need to be enforced, while saying ignore this law. He would look like a cherry-picking hypocrite.
OTOH, bad laws need to be removed. At one time, being part of England was the law of the land.
Yes, polls six months before the first primaries should determine who we support.
If you don't stand for innocent life you cannot call yourself conservative. To accept his excuses for political bribes through campaign donations, his supporters cannot call themselves conservatives either.
this is one of what will be MANY!!!! He is not true blue...never has been.. ...and I might say that RELIGIOUS FREEDOM and THE CONSTITUTION is a PRETTY BIG ONE issue!!!
I think most of these people are just Trump haters.
Trump is the only that can beat Hillary or Sanders.
