Thank you all for your offers of help to understand. I think I get what he is saying regarding the issues, I’m just not sure that I’m not being sold a line. When the hard-sell comes, I typically and instinctively jerk hard the other direction. I’m picking up some of this out of Trump and his apologists. Plus, as a social conservative, I feel like I’m being told to just shut up and go along for the ride.

We are all freedom-lovers here. I can’t just shut off my skepticism and jump on the Trump bandwagon, especially when my values are being downplayed and ignored at best and assaulted at worst and I feel like I’m being sold a used Ford with 187,000 miles on it. Looks good on the outside, but how’s the transmission? I’m going to very closely consider his positions, but I cannot ignore his former actions either. He may very well be the best of the rest, but I’ll take my time and figure it out.

Smooth sailing - Thanks for the article. I gave it a read, but I’ll bookmark it to go through more thoroughly. With regards to one of my previous posts, I am just posting my opinion. It was not intended as an attack. My apologies if you were offended.

Lord bless,

Refreshed

Interestingly, the number one thing I like about Trump is I perceive him to be a honest man who will do his best to do what he says he will. I can’t say that about anyone else running other than maybe the Marxist running under the Dem ticket.

I accept your apology.

I hope the article will be helpful.

You’ve got plenty of time to make up your mind.

The vote that counts is still 9 months away! 8^)
