from another thread...
Trump is leading both Republicans and Democrats this year.
Trump has—
“ ** More primary wins than any candidate (18)
** More overall state wins than any candidate (21)
** The highest percentage of primary wins (82%)
** The highest percent of overall state wins (64%)
** The highest percent of primary delegates (68%)
** The highest percent of overall delegates (60%)
** And Trump now leads all candidates in the highest percent of overall votes (58%).
And Donald Trump started out last year competing against 16 primary opponents.
I stepped away from FR for a few hours and now I am confused.
It seems that the news for today is that some transgendered Prince died in a bathroom and that Trumped all the other news for the day.
And that's a good thing...(not Prince dying- that it isn't the top story of the day, because Mr. Trump said some "things" today...)
Thanks. My google was full with other materials
One of my old workplace, guys used to turn back ASAP when they see gay colleague is entering bathroom or changing place.
Jenny,
The “Bathroom issue” is a symptom to a larger issue - the destruction of America, our Judeo-Christian morals & values, the family unit and our Constitution.
In 1963, the goals of CPUSA (Communist Party) were recorded in the Congressional record. A few that relate to the “Bathroom issue” include:
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Jenny, see the signs...and defend what America represents. Do it for the children.
Stephen Miller is on!!
The Rally has started!!!!!!!!!
>>>>>Have you ever heard of reaching a tipping point?
These people call its question of Civil Right.
Tipping point is far away. I hope Trump Presidency will change focus to real issue.
Good afternoon “Betsy”!
Don’t you just LOVE this guy!
But Trump can’t say he didn’t know. Hannity devoted half his show to the delegate issue in PA today. It’s another chance for Cruz to slip votes in through the back door. Trump had better be on it.
Stephen has such PASSION!
Darn I wish we could heard the music....
Ha! It should be so simple! Trumps speaking glitch gave the left leaning press some fun until the death of Prince was reported.... This too shall pass! Go Trump!
