Evangelical Christians, at the moment, are totally enamored with a candidate who has profited off strip clubs, cheated on his wife, and appeared on the cover of the nation's pre-eminent porn magazine.
And to top it off, Jerry Falwell Jr.-the heir of the Moral Majority mantle-just endorsed him.

So far, Trump's top foes have largely steered clear of attacking him based on his sexcapades and scandals. Even while he and Rubio lob birther-esque attacks at Ted Cruz for being born in Canada, Trump has evaded any hard-hitting criticism for his multiple marriages, casino ownership, and appearance on the cover of Playboy magazine.
A series of tweets from Sen. Ben Sasse, a freshman Republican from Nebraska, may suggest that the days of giving Trump a pass over his New York-values personal life are over.
"You brag abt many affairs w/ married women," the senator tweeted on Jan. 24, addressing Trump. "Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?"
In The Art of the Deal, Trump boasted about bedding other men's wives.
"If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller," he wrote.

Besides, the point of the election process is to get the dirt on every candidate, not obscure it. Everyone now knows about Cruz's inconsistencies and Canadian birth. It's time they knew about Trump's liberal record, casinos, the strip clubs within and his diploma mills, as well as his serial infidelities. The fact is that at this stage, nobody is paying attention apart from political junkies. At a later stage, when less engaged voters are looking at the candidates, they might look at Trump's sleazy past and decide that a party that elect such a morally-defective person needs to be sent a message, and not only deny the GOP the White House, but make the GOP a minority party in both houses.
Note that political deals are necessary because senators aren't kings - log-rolling is necessary to get what you want. Nobody forced Trump to go into the casino or diploma mill businesses. And nobody forced Trump to cheat on his wives with married women.
You mean like Reagan did with his last debate?
Did he run away from a debate with his tail between his legs like a little girl?
A billion dollars.
A Helicopter
A Yacht
Some casinos
etc.
But Newt got the bum's rush over a divorce...
I am beginning to realize that most men with egos are those who will play around ...and even those without egos will, also. The percentage must be high...I would say well over 50% of all men....and I am sure it is much, much higher.
So, Trump is an alpha male with an alpha ego. He loves women, it is clear. And beautiful women at that. But, he has not been accused of the behavior of Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, and the list goes on. And, it hasn’t been in our White House, and it will not be.
The Donald successfully committed adultery with Marla Maples, thereby betraying the mother of his children.
I have art of the deal on my Kindle a and did a search for that quote. Didn’t find it.
Looks like it to me.
I said that somewhere back about August I believe.
He’s bigger than life.
“Note that political deals are necessary because senators aren’t kings - log-rolling is necessary to get what you want.”
LOL,,, just normal to be a double dealing scammer in the Senate. And the justification...”well you have to get what you want!” Now there’s a value system!
But a businessman having to survive in the environment the senators create, wellllll,,, he just needs to be as pure as Sasser’s wife. I mean Ceasar’s wife. Good comedy.
Jealous.
Typical New York values -thrice married, serial adulterer. He’s so European.
Conservatives are supposed to overlook Trump’s sleazy past because he stood up for McConnell against Cruz? What?
too bad all fathers in our bigger cities aren;t that devoted
You have it backwards about the last debate. A chick told him what he had to do and insisted SHE sets the rules. He laughed and walk away.
It’s called a “$h1t test”. Its the favorite sport of the female. Alphas don’t play. All the Betas were there to do exactly what Meghan said they had to.
Actually, most GOP pols are Boy Scouts. Because discovery means losing elections. I expect that if Trump wins the nomination, a substantial number of conservatives and moderates will sit out the election because they think he's a sleaze. David Vitter of LA is merely the most prominent recent example. Religious conservatives will not vote for Trump because of his serial infidelities and dodgy businesses and moderate conservatives will not vote for him because of his casinos and diploma mill biz.
If he does borders, Muslims, trade and the military, he has my vote. Argue over angels dancing on pins if you’d like.
It’s really refreshing to see a man totally unafraid to be as sensitive and feminine as you are being on this topic.
But still not a word about odumbass’ gay past.
“Actually, most GOP pols are Boy Scouts. Because discovery means losing elections”
Yeahhhhh,,, you just keep believing that.
