No there are no pro life democrats running in the presidential election all of them support abortion and infantcide
 
The primaries have not even begun. We have no idea what men and women will toss their hat in the ring.

True. I predict that many more will throw their hat in the ring by the Fall. Just as with the Republicans in 2016, since there is no clear front runner from the get-go, there will be many people vying for the nomination.

Whether one of them will be pro-life remains to be seen.
 
Sure. We would all like to exclude the morons on our respective sides.

We do this by not using the examples they provide in public exchanges.

It is reasonable to conclude, though, given the size of the field, and that we knew it would be huge, that anyone with enough understanding of the process to be viable would probably have made some noise by now so as not to be lost in the flood.

Conceivably, one or two more “brand name” candidates could leap in, but those to come will be protest candidates, extreme long shots, and perhaps some single issue candidates looking to gather delegates so as to have a voice in a contested convention. There could be a candidate that sees an opening and way to distinguish, but the process is so well into the hands of the socialist and progressive wing that a pro-life candidate wouldn’t make it (but might gather some delegates to trade at the convention).
 
This could be a mild indictment of the primary system. In order to advance to the general election, you must win your party. IN order to do that, you’ve got to be a democrat’s democrat or a republican’s republican. A battle of hyper partisans seems to be the inevitable result.

Of course, there are always exceptions to be found. Kentucky’s governor won his primary because the two more typical republican candidates in the 3-way primary largely cannibalized each other’s bases - leaving a more moderate republican against a more leftist democrat - giving him most of the undecideds.
 
Actually, a person can run as an Independent, or under another Party banner, or even create a Party. The problem with this is that most people don’t vote these candidates because they prefer to vote for either the Democratic or Republican candidate because they know that one of these two will inevitably win.

These days, I would never vote for a Democrat for any office, other than in our State, I voted for Jesse White as Secy of State because he has nothing to do with abortion laws (or any social laws) and he’s done a great job for many years.

So I was one of those Republicans who held my nose as I voted for Donald Trump–not because I thought he was the best candidate, but because the idea of Secy. of State Clinton as President was horrifying, unimaginable.

I think the closest any Independent has come to winning in recent decades was Ross Perot, but he was no where near the winner or the runner-up.

I think nowadays, for many Christians like me, it comes down to not necessarily voting for the best person, but DEFEATING the EVIL person, the person who has a pro-death, pro-sin, anti-Christian religion, anti-freedom, pro-high taxation agenda that has the potential to turn our nation in to Sodom and Gomorrah (which it kind of is already, if you ask me).

I think it’s sweet that Christians, including some on CAF, insist on voting for an obscure candidate that they know will not have a chance because they are “voting their conscience.” But I also think it’s dangerous in a time when every vote counts, and staving off evil is very important. IMO, those Christians who did not vote for Donald Trump were flirting with danger–Ms. Clinton came very, very close to defeating Donald Trump and imposing an agenda of evil on our nation unlike anything we’ve ever seen since the days when slavery was defended by our nation’s leaders.

I’ve said it several times already here on CAF and in real-life settings, and I’ll keep saying it–Christian Democrats–it’s time to rebel against your Party! END your affiliation with the Democratic Party and TELL your Party leaders that you are no longer planning to vote Democratic for ANYONE until the Democratic Party eliminates the pro-abortion (“reproductive choice”) portion of their Party Platform, and until they WELCOME pro-life Democrats into their inner circle and FUND these pro-life people and book them for public speaking venues when they announce candidacy for public office!

As long as you continue to hold onto your sentimental attachment to the supposed “Party of the Working Man”, you are contributing to the continuance of pro-abortion agenda as a “norm” in the United States. END IT TODAY, and let them know that you are OUT until they start representing you and all the other pro-life former Democrats in the U.S. !

I just want to add to my above post–many Christians continue to vote Democratic because they believe that the Party “helps the poor, the working man, the minorities, women, children, immigrants, etc.”

Well, they also kill these people through abortion without barriers laws.

Here’s the deal–you can help all of these needs without having to vote Democratic. There are plenty of local privately-run charities and church-run charities that help the poor, the working people, minorities, women, children, immigrants, etc.

Contribute your money, time, and heart to these organizations instead of voting for candidates who are willing to kill these people before they are ever born.

Chances are really good that if you give to a private or church charity, a much larger percentage of your monies will actually go to helping the needy and disenfranchised peoples than if you simply count on guv’ment monies to do the work–much of your tax dollars goes to support the bureaucracy that is needed to run the organizations that are supposedly ending poverty, racism, sexism, etc.

The point is, you don’t have to vote Democratic to help the helpless.

Finally–do some research. You will find that many of the Republican policies provide true help to the needy–help that not only meets their immediate and daily needs for survival, but also gives them the tools to rise up in the world. Don’t believe all the Democratic propaganda that the Republicans are the “Party of the Rich White Men.” Take a serious look at the Democratic Party and you will find many many Rich White Men" running that party, and that’s true at the local level as well–the richest people in our city are DEMOCRATS!!!
 
Your argument that Democratic politicians ‘kill’ people they help once they are born is valid in your own terms only if laws against abortion prevent abortion or significantly reduce its numbers. They don’t.

A nice rundown on the Democratic Party candidates…

 
A Biden/Manchin ticket in 2020 would be interesting. But two Catholics from small mid-Atlantic states? Not sure that could happen.

(West Virginia does not fall neatly into either South, Midwest, or Mid-Atlantic, though it has characteristics of all three. I say this from the standpoint of someone who has strong West Virginia ties that go back over a half-century.)
 
Do you think Manchin is “accepted” by other Democrats? I kind of get the feeling that he’s on their poop list because he often votes along with the Republicans, and because Pres. Trump didn’t campaign for his opponent in the last election.

I’m just thinking that Manchin and any other Democrat would be like ketchup and ice cream.
 
I would say he isn’t well-received at all.

West Virginia is a deeply social-conservative state. Charleston is the largest city (around 50,000, but has the “vibe” of a quite larger city); the state is basically small towns, rural areas, and working-class. WV is historically Democratic with a strong tradition of organized labor. In such an environment, a social conservative Democrat such as Manchin makes perfect sense.

Sadly, he is not the typical Democratic candidate, far from it. It would be nice if the Democrats would consider a ticket that “reaches out” to conservatives, in hopes of drawing at least some of them away from Trump. But it’s not going to happen.
 
I agree with you about a Democratic ticket that reaches out to conservatives, and I agree that it’s not going to happen…

…UNLESS…

Pres. Trump and a large group of conservatives whips the pants off the Democrats AGAIN!

I wish that would happen, not only because I support Pres. Trump, but because I think such a drubbing would force the Democrats to examine their ultra-liberal strategy and adopt a more moderate platform.

Of course, some people don’t want to see a “wimpy” political party that kind of walks down the center of the road but doesn’t take a firm stand on anything. So perhaps my idea would be a dud.
 
There are none. I’m trying to contact them to let them know about the pro-choices law with the hope that at least one of them will consider it and convert to the pro-choices position. It would definitely be a sin for me to vote for a pro-choice Democrat without at least letting them know about the pro-choices position. That’s because “to him who knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin” (James 4:17). I have created another thread in this forum explaining the pro-choices position. It’s called, “Converting ‘pro choice’ people to the ‘pro choices’ position.”

Blessings in Christ,
Daniel
 
You will find that those in your local and State Democratic party are very well versed in the pro-life positions, the same as political activists in the Republican party are very well versed in the pro-choice positions.
