Purists come in two varieties: The anabaptists and the Calvinists. Evangelicalism has two sides: the antinomians and the Bible readers, Trump captured the antinomians; Cruz captured the latter. The problem with the former is that two months after the revival,most are back at the roadhouse, The some are in the Church along with the latter. Even if the preacher is one of them, they willed unpicking a fight, because for them everything reduces to the “Spirit”. If they equate that to speaking in tongues, they need an interpreter. Now the Trumpists think they have found one in him.
I didn’t say that! :)
Just those were different times. Republicans couldn’t look at someone sideways lest they would have to resign in disgrace. Now they get almost the same (lack of) morality privileges as the RATS..
Newt’s good, but not for VP. (1) Too old. (2) Too much baggage surrounding prior marriage and breakup. The campaign would be a hot mess.
A high-level cabinet position, or Chief Of Staff would work.
I agree. Newt wouldn’t bring any constituency to the ticket that Trump doesn’t already have, and as you say, the socon drag might actually hurt. However, as chief of staff, Newt would fill gaps Trump has in the realm of Congress and its workings.
Not different times: different people making up the public. In those days there were only two sexes.
We normal people just are awake and aren’t afraid anymore. And the whacko sickos brainwashing has been completed. That what you mean by different people?
We all are all older, and one thing is sure, most of us will be dead before most of them are.
