Most of the people in my circles are religious social conservatives—abortion, gay marriage, and religious liberty are big issues for them, as well as a candidate’s character and conduct—and I would say 97% of them don’t like Trump and don’t trust him.
Most of my folks are upper middle class, well-educated, relatively devout Catholics. We don’t like trump either.

At least Trump’s not a phony like Carson. He used to refer women that wanted to abort their children to the “best” abortionists.
He sat on the board of directors of CostCo and Kellogg for almost 20 years, while for the entire 20 years both companies were two of the biggest abortion sponsors in the world.
He told the truth about young men going into prison straight and coming out homosexual,which is absolute fact. The minute the media jumped him for it he changed his tune and said he didn’t know what causes homosexuality and was sorry for mentioning prison. He claims he a “Christian”, and the last time I checked the Bible calls for Christians to be humble. His home is a shrine to himself, with his pictures and plagues plastered on the walls in just about every room in the house. This is anything but humble. He even has a down-right creepy painted portrait of himself and Jesus Christ posing in the same picture. This man is strange. Totally unqualified to be president of the United States. Maybe that’s because he was a democrat for the majority of his voting life.
Well, Charles, let me educate you and your friends. Unless Trump is elected and that wall built, you can kiss your religious liberties goodbye. We don’t have to like a president - we need someone to straighten out the mess and evil that has been thrust upon us these past 7 years. We have 14 more months to go before a new president takes office, and Mr. Obama can wreck a lot more havoc on this country in the meantime. We need someone tough to undo this mess - this is our last chance before our country is completely gone. Now, you take that back to your social crowd and see how it plays out. I agree with your social issues - I just don’t agree with how you think you can preserve your freedom of worship if we don’t have someone tough as nails in office. I don’t particularly care for everything Trump says either - but, I also know that without a wall and deportation - we won’t have a country.
“abortion, gay marriage, and religious liberty are big issues for them,”
And you are not gonna stop any of those things by playing “nice.” You gotta get down into the mud and kick the enemy in the nuts over and over until it kills him. I want a candidate who will eviscerate the bad guys - a guy who will rip out their entrails and shove ‘em down their throats - not lecture them to death. The time for Emily Post manners is way way past over.
