So:
Donald: Stop the braggadocio and rabble-rousing. You have people’s attention, now speak like a statesman and tribune of the people. Help give those who are angry the proper reasons for being so, and what in detail should really be done. If you cannot or will not, you are not the man for the job.
Ted: Stop the preaching. You need to show people you know the difference between the church and the state you endeavor to lead. Help give those who are not Christian a real example of what a Christian statesman should be and do. If you cannot or will not, you are not the man for the job.
Marco: Stop trying to impress people with your own cleverness. Your appealing personality is being wasted if you do not plainly, clearly, consistently tell people in every venue you appear in what exactly you believe and what exactly you will do. If you cannot or will not, you are not the man for the job.
I appreciate the admonitions, but I do have to disagree with your suggestion to Ted.
This is a Republican Primary, and most of us understand that a person’s character is shaped by their biblical faith and practice of the moral principles religion teaches. Reagan often quoted the scriptures directly AS a statesman.
If we truly have arrived (as I believe we have) at the place where the exclusion of scripture and religious principles in political discourse is necessary, then the hope for any shred of liberty to be protected by either the government or maintained by the people it governs, will be in ruins.
Liberty as intended for us was established in the Christian/biblical worldview. A nation that has to exclude extolling those principles out of offense to the body politic is a nation that is not capable of maintaining liberty and will always empower government to act in the place of God.
It is exactly the root cause of how we have arrived at this point as a nation.
