[roamer_1:] How can it possibly be beyond reason to question the morality of Trump? Evidence ABOUNDS. You don't even have to dig for it. It's right there in his lifestyle, his business practices, and his general demeanor.

It's not the question that is the problem. It is the offensive way the questions are delivered -- as declarations of absolute truth,when in fact, it is the poster's personal opinion and judgment -- that is the problem.

It has been my observation that absolutely ANYTHING is an offense if it is critical of Donald Trump, truth be damned.

It is also the presumption that being an armchair keyboardist is a qualificatiion to judge, based on hearsay, outdated sources or political talking points rather than objective research from actual witnesses.

What does this even mean? 'Shut up and listen to your betters', is that the idea?

Many people go through life believing that their personal opinion is the same as actual fact. It is a mark of maturity, and far less offensive to others, to learn to express one's point of view objectively, or at least to admit it is an opinion or an impression you have, not something you truly know anything about. You weren't there; but God was. He alone is the judge of people's souls.

Yeah, I've heard all this 'don't judge' before - The problem with it is that we have a responsibility to choose our leaders wisely (according to that very same God). How does that happen without judgement (discernment)? Just how does one discern if one cannot field a critical review? The idea is totally without merit on it's face.

Of course we must judge. Telling you that you are going to go to hell is WAY past my paygrade, of course, but that doesn't preclude me from making a critical assessment.

You would do better to read a couple of his books and both his web sites than to just sit back and sling accusations on FR. Those of us who have done the research on this candidate are getting tired of it. The country is at stake. Don’t expect others to do it for you.
