Some fundamentalists have a thing against Catholics particularly this open borders Pope. That story the MSM conjured up about the pope singling out Trump being a non christian may have turned this for Trump in South Carolina .
But the pope was responding to a loaded question by a reporter from Reuters news agency and actually did not believe his accusations. So the pope never mentioned Trumps name in his lengthy reply. Which btw was uncovered by Rush Limbaugh Friday a day before the election show; It was this; expressed here in abstract;
In his reply the pope used the term One, to generalize his example and began with; If actually one said and Pope Francis continued with : One does, one did, one believes : such and such in his response to a rather lenghty loaded question by a so called reporter.. it was meant to be a generalized position applied to anyone who has those views when answering the questions that were presented to him .
But the reporter turned this statement : Those that only focus on building walls and not bridges are not Christian. into: Those who build walls like Trump are not Christian.
it was meant to be a generalized position applied to anyone who has those views. Which was twisted by the media into an attack and a reverse Trump endorsement.
Trump responded to what he thought was a direct personal attack by the Pope which was shared and agreed to by everybody including this Catholic and what they were responding is to Trump in effect tellung the pope to go to hell which made the difference. If they voted that way because of that reason They were mislead by machinations of the media not the pope.
Now the medias anti religious agenda is busy claiming Cruz wont win by emphasizing Christian values in: marriage, planned parenthood, abortion and the questioning of wandering positions on these subjects taken by Trump. Which diverts the attention from the media and its involvement while minimizing the Cruz candidacy.
Urge Ted to stay the course and defeat this conspiracy to elect the blowhard . We want back to the days of the constitution and the government out of our bedrooms, kitchens, gas tanks, back yards, as well as our religions. And pick justices who will keep it that way .
During an interview for Face the Nation, host John Dickerson asked Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) if he would consider accepting the vacant spot on the Supreme Court after the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. This comes after Republican presidential candidates and Republican members of the senate have vowed not to approve anyone President Obama nominates during his last year in office.
“That is not a job I’m interested in.” Cruz said and added, “The job I’m interested in is appointing 3, 4, 5 Supreme Court justices, is defending the constitution.” The Texas senator vowed that as president he would reverse the damages done by Barack Obama and that he would be “faithful and vigorous defending the constitution.”
TED CRUZ IS THE ONE WE NEED FOR BRINGING US TOGETHER AS ONE
and the end of the use of using government policy creating hyphenations like afro-American,and-hispanic-American a race baiting policy designed to divide people
into ONE FLAG.... ONE LANGUAGE .ONE PEOPLE ......AMERICANS
So IOW Francis characterized not only Trump, but any other American in favor of a border wall as "not Christian".
Which diverts the attention from the media and its involvement while minimizing the Cruz candidacy.
Cruz "minimized the Cruz candidacy" with his dirty TPA maneuvers, his vote for the Corker Iran bill, his support for increasing H-1B visas 500%, and his slimy campaign tactics. His incestuous relationship with the Bush oligarchy didn't do him any favors, either.
