Can I point out two things, please: (1) the original poster of this obscene thread has abandoned you, and if he had any sense he would ask Jim to yank this thread, because I'm going to keep posting Michael Brown's screeching anti-Trump diatribes; and (2) I could care less about whatever you are asking me. Thanks.

Jan. 27, 2016: "Are you, then, seriously endorsing Mr. Trump as a man following the example of Jesus?...One colleague wrote to me after learning of your endorsement, saying, "I just don't understand how a true Christian can so easily dismiss all this ... wife posed nude, married three times, nasty, crude, cruel, proud, dishonest, manipulative, casino owner and promoter, bankrupted several companies, 'hates' abortion but agrees to make it legal, gutter mouth...Mr. Falwell, in light of Mr. Trump's attacks on those he happens to dislike at the moment — be it Megyn Kelly or Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush or Rosie O'Donnell — attacks in which he behaves more like a spoiled, petulant child than a presidential candidate, how you can point to his Christ-like character?...Donald Trump is hardly the man to address America's moral demise!...From my vantage point, you and other evangelicals seem to have put nationalism first, and that is what deeply concerns me."
Jan. 18, 2016: "Trump's insults this year have gotten even worse, to the point of him calling Hillary's bathroom break during a presidential debate "disgusting." And that is only the tip of the iceberg...Trump is also renting out a theater in Iowa so voters can see the new movie "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" for free. According to a Trump spokesperson, "Mr. Trump would like all Americans to know the truth about what happened at Benghazi."
Jan. 19, 2016: "As someone born and raised in New York, and as a supporter of Ted Cruz for president, I took great interest in the exchange between Donald Trump and Senator Cruz on the subject of "New York values" during last week's presidential debate...there is a backlash from some New Yorkers against Trump, claiming he has actually done nothing to help the first responders to 9/11"
Mar. 7, 2016: "But, my dear brother, do you honestly believe that those who could not in good conscience vote for Trump, should he be the Republican nominee, must be acting on pride rather than principle? To the contrary, it is principle that drives many of those in the #NeverTrump camp. Consider, for example, the words of Christian attorney (and Iraq Bronze Star veteran) David French..."There are those who say that the #NeverTrump crew should 'get a life,' but we are opposed to Trump because of our lives...There are many other Christians who feel just as French does, who cannot imagine pushing the button or pulling the lever in support of Trump, a man who has managed to bring the Republican party to all-time lows and who has made a mockery of the campaign process...we would feel like we were selling our souls to help a man like Trump become the representative of our nation. And we feel this way not so much because of who Trump was in the past but because of who he is today...This is the man who thundered at one debate, "Bush lied!" (about WMD's in Iraq) – an ugly, unfounded accusation – only to mollify his statement within hours...And what about potential damage could Trump cause as president? Could he lead us into a needless war? ...Even if Trump did secure the Republican nomination, some would still argue against voting for him based on both principle and pragmatism...In contrast, it could be that a President Trump (which is still hard for me to wrap my mind around) would be the ultimate compromiser and dealmaker, just adding to the current morass...In other words, a Hillary victory, as much as I deplore the thought and could not under any circumstance vote for her, could be the final straw that breaks the back of American Christian complacency, leading to an awakening."
