Just an interesting article (that hopefully also makes a few evangelicals reconsider Trump) They are not going to reconsider Trump in real numbers or real time. Any and everything Trump has done that has us twitterpated, offended, gobsmacked, and discombobulated isn't on any of their radar screens yet. Shelves are still full, jobs are still believed to be secure, and people are out spending money per normal. The idea that godless democrats who favor killing babies and flooding our Christian nation with murdering rapists and dark heathens might be an acceptable alternative isn't even a seed worth watering. Even if there were viable arguments that could change sufficient numbers of minds our ilk aren't capable of making the case without devolving into nonsense and be nice-itudes so as to cause no offense. Until we learn to fight the battle that is they will continue to win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You did make me think harder. So good job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
