“What if they aren’t? “
They trust a man who praised Hillary in 2008, Obama in 2009, DeBlasio in 2013, and Putin in 2015. If that isn’t stupid, what is?
When Bill Clinton cheated on his wife, folks on FR said it proved him untrustworthy. When Trump boasts about it, now married to his third Mrs “Piece of Ass” - his words to describe what he values in a woman - it means he is a stud.
Name one thing Trump believes to day that he won’t do a 180 on tomorrow if it suits him. But that doesn’t matter to his supporters. They think he is on their side. I’ve got a hunch both Palin and Christie will soon see how much Trump values them, versus a single day’s headlines...
Are you a leader in any area of your life that has required you to change your position? Did you ever completely change the focus of your life?
Do you think that you are a better person, more suitable for Heaven, because you would not ever dare say 'piece of ass'?
Do you think if Trump had in fact repented or come to see past actions as not positive or wrong or harmful - even unGodly, that he would share that with you or the media?
I'm not name calling here: You strike me as a sort of sanctimonious person, self righteous. It's probably a template that gets applied to everything, including the people around you. My father was a so called very 'moral' man, but ultimately, morals are not the same as life. To make progress, even and perhaps in particular, spiritual progress, you have to make mistakes by being who you are, see your mistakes, change, re-evaluate. You can't just take Mr. Rogers interpretation of someone else's interpretation of someone who says they wrote down exactly what God said to do.
I like Cruz, a lot. I support Trump because I think he'd be more effective.
But have you seen Cruz's absolutely dishonest out-takes from his political commercials? Do you think he LIKES to have to do that? He does it because he's a politician. I'm not taking Cruz to task for that.
In the world, you are faced with a choice: You can be morally perfect like you, and name-call the people who go out and make mistakes and don't write Mr. Rogers a personal letter of apology and contrition the instant they realize they now see an error in their previous ways ... or you can go out into the world and gloriously kick some ass, trust that God has made you good but imperfect, and when you make an error, fix it and fix yourself.
It's interesting - I saw a book listed on Amazon called 'Surviving the Perils of Success' ... I didn't even read the synopsis. But I wonder ... if you read that book, would you find, expressed positively, humbly and in lesson format to teach the next guy, rather than lecture him, some of the contrition you demand?
I get that Trump's not you kind of guy. But 'you're kind of guy' is usually a carbon copy of yourself, and that's an egotistical and prideful way to select a president. Not that I said 'way' ... I didn't say you should support Trump ... just look at the 'way' you've picked. Or not!
