Churchill wasn’t exactly religious neither.
Would I prefer Trump to be more religious, sure, but it’s not necessarily a disqualification, especially in desperate times.
You want a good Christian for President, two words, ‘Jimmy Carter.”
There is a manifest difference between assuming moral responsibility, and insulting an all knowing God by refusing to be responsible for what is clearly within one's compass. The responsible conduct is to thank God for the Blessing of having a conscience and being willing to heed it.
God is not out of the loop, where one assumes moral responsibility. Without God the very concept of right & wrong is absent.
You’ve tossed in “refusing to take responsibility” to change the focus. Donald should take lessons from you.
Thank you for posting these articles. It’s stunning to see his supporters rationalize everything he does.
Um...ok. Relevance to the question of ACTUALLY getting those hostages freed?
Oh, there’s plenty wrong with Trump.
Problem is, we’ve not been getting much of anywhere with anyone else, and the current alternatives don’t seem any more promising regarding actually achieving results.
I agree.
A stunning set of different standards from what has been demanded in the past.
Their hypocrisy should embarrass them.
The vast majority will read this non-issue forced headline and ask ‘what’s this all about?’.
Then they will read something about Trump referring to Fiorina’s face as no face for a President and then they will look at Fiorina’s face in a picture and they will nod in agreement. And the media will try to blow it up as some grand faux-pas, some great misstep on Trump’s part. And the electorate will yawn.
In other news, the US Senate just gave Obama’s deal with Iran the green light. Oh, bu that’s not news you see. What’s news is someone calling Fiorina ugly, even though she is.
National Review a defacto arm of the GOPe. :-)
Ohioan, You correctly stated the truth of what Trump said but it is impossible to reason with Cincinatus’ Wife on Trump.
She is filled with hated for him and, evidently, spends all of her free time searching for things to compare and contrast with her hero, Walker.
It’s a mental thing, some call it obsession.
Reagan registered as a Republican for the first time in 1962 and was nominated as the Republican candidate for Governor in 1966. So according to your internal timetable you would not have voted for him because he wasn’t really a Republican.
I see lots of red flags with trump but I don’t see any islamic flags behind him. He would have not even been on any ones radar if he had not come out strong on immigration and any of the 17 could have done the same thing but chose not to. I see stupid sold out k-street CoC stooges all over the field dumping on Trump.
Do not assume to define my feelings about Trump.
I do not hate him, I completely distrust him.
Gov. Walker has done what he said he would do in Wisconsin. He pulled it red and he can do it for the country.
The Walker horse died and CW just can’t get off. :-)
I was speaking of Reagan’s Presidential terms.
Besides being a 2-term governor of CA, Reagan had basically been giving the “Time for Choosing” speech during his GE years to union members and their families.
He didn’t just decide to play “Reality TV” president.
Then you choose to ignore history and go with the guy that tells you what you want to BELIEVE.
From Newsmax: “Donald Trump is leading the pack of hopefuls among GOP Iowa Caucus-goers, while Scott Walker has plummeted to the back of the line, a new poll from Quinnipiac University finds. The numbers fall this way: Trump, 27 percent; Ben Carson, 21 percent; Sen. Ted Cruz, 9 percent; Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has 6 percent; Carly Fiorina, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida each garnered 5 percent. Walker is at 3 percent, down from 18 percent in July. No other candidate topped 4 percent, and 4 percent of caucus-goers were undecided.”
Rut Rho looks like Scotty will be staying in WI keeping the public safe from college professors. LOL!
In short, we already have a liberal in the People’s House who thinks he’s God.
