DanG 1 #77 March 8, 2016 QuoteActually 31 people said they would vote for him. Touche. I should have said only one person has defended their vote for him, namely turtle. And he says he will only vote for Trump because Hilary is evil. I believe a lot of people in the US are in favor of Trump because they think he will shake things up, although they don't really know what they want shaken up. I also believe that come November, the number of people who are totally disgusted by Trump will prevent him from winning the Presidency. We will probably have a record low voter turnout in the general, but the people who are passionately against Trump will outweigh the people who are passionately for him. At least I hope so. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,114 #78 March 8, 2016 > I also believe that come November, the number of people who are totally disgusted by Trump will >prevent him from winning the Presidency. Perhaps. But people have been saying that for six months now. "He said his interviewer was on the rag? He's done now!" "He actually supported his follower beating that guy up? No way is he going to be taken seriously." "He called Mexican immigrants rapists? He's not going to survive that." They've been wrong every time; there is no level of disgusting he has been able to get to that turn people off. I think he has a good shot at the presidency.

They have been wrong about the Republican primary electorate. In polls where the respondents are likely presidential voters, he doesn't do well at all. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,466 #81 March 8, 2016 Hi Bill, Quotehe has a good shot at the presidency And I agree; but I am hopeful & counting on decent Americans. The WSJ today had an article that said Speaker Paul Ryan has called both Trump & Cruz to discuss 'things.' My thinking is that he wants them to be more moderate so that the R's do not lose the House. And there was another article in today's WSJ about what might happen if not one of the R's has the delegates to get the nomination on the first ballot. Let the back stabbing begin.

Actually I believe I made my point pretty clear in that Trump is the LESSER of TWO EVILS. I also said I would give Bernie Sanders my note over Cruz, Rubio, and Trump if he was the front runner.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,587 #89 March 9, 2016 What is it you find so offensive? Gender? Religion? Color? Choice of outfit? Location (NYC)? The fact that with all that, you still can't blame Obama? You're better than this. You swore to uphold the constitution, not just your interpretation of it. The military includes stars of David and crescents as grave marker possibilities. And this is happening in a place where it's accepted and normal, just as in your enclave, you'd find it normal and accepted to marginalize and ostracize someone who was a Muslim, or colored and disrespectful, or a Yankee who didn't think that everything was perfect.

It is the hope that this sort of thing can be stopped. http://www.snopes.com/muslim-woman-sworn-new-york-city-civil-judge/ Are you deliberately trying to piss people off? Or do you really believe that a nation founded on freedom of religion is endangered by religions other than yours? The sort of thing that needs to be stopped is the attitude of intolerance you are expressing. The USA is not losing it's culture, it is expanding it's culture. Why are you so afraid of the other? You are probably correct that fear of change is part of what is propelling people toward Trump. But can't you be better than that yourself? The reason I pose so many questions is that I have a hard time understanding how you can justify the feelings you express. Is it possible that you are in the grip of a group that embraces paranoia as a bond? For a person who expresses a desire to bring people over to your beliefs, you sure seem to be doing your best to make them as unattractive as possible.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Muslim black women judges? Or allowing religious freedom? The Snopes article covers it well. No requirement to take the oath on any particular document. Not even a requirement to take an "Oath before God" at all. An "affirmation" is an acceptable action. The article also notes the reaction from the usual bigoted idiots.

There are many people who feel exactly like you do, as vile as it is. There is no doubt in my mind you would happily salute Trump, during his special pledge ceremony.

RonD1120 62 #94 March 9, 2016 You folks need to catch up on the news. I am not the only one in America that is upset enough to vote for Trump. I simply offered one reason, there are others. I received that notice from a retired SF/CIA friend of mine. He has a close friend in the FBI that has been on the job for 40+ years. He is delaying retirement because he fears a Muslim will take his place. The sentiment I expressed is not just me or just mountain folk. And, it is not restricted to Christians. Whether you like it or not, many are not happy.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Every so often you put up a post that displays just how racist, paranoid and bigoted you are. Earlier on in this same thread you put up a post which was edited because of the levels of blatant racism it contained. Your myopic and provincial views absolutely don't represent what I consider to be the 'culture' of America. And thank God for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
