Do Catholics still support Trump

More people voted for Trump than any of the other candidates. It’s as simple as that. No doubt you’ll say we were duped into it. No. We voted for him because we LIKE HIS POLICIES. And we love America. Nothing wrong with that.
 
Trump has to make a commitment to eliminate the debt without defaulting on it. Good luck.
 
I would get excited if the government found revenues to pay off its debts. Oh wait, there’s land and gold and oil. I doubt if they would touch this.
 
You know, I wrote in my candidate. I wasn’t satisfied with either candidate. I knew it was essentially throwing away my vote, but meh. If we truly cared, then we would be so much more active on the local level(s) of government, where things actually matter.

Anyway, if the election was today, I’d vote for Trump. And much of that switch has nothing to do with Trump’s behavior (which I’ve seen as getting better), but the behavior and attitudes of everyone else, including those here. The unending bickering about Trump has made me like Trump more (go figure that).

The economy has never been better. This Christmas season is one of the best Christmas seasons in a long time according to the stock market reports I’ve read, which means more people are able to purchase more. I’m not attributing that to Trump, but rather the end of Obama’s era. Obama was one of the worse things to happen to this country for the middle class. The fact that Trump is simply not making it worse is good enough for me, and apparently the economy. And a good economy will do more for the poor (however indirectly) than the government ever can.

Exactly what were his policies? Not to cut Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid. And a $1 trillion plan to improve infrastructure among other things.

But that was before he took office.
 
JL: Yet you will support those who kill babies by the millions and never blink. But a man who may or may not have done anything 40 years ago you condemn without due process.

Had he been elected the Senate would have had to deal with it. Possibly removing him from the Senate, after which the Republican Gov of Al could have appointed another Republican.

Beware the strawman, and read those posts first!
 
Why, gee, Grace, I thought we were all supposed to love each other no matter.

And pedo? Allegations only. Or can we now assume @twf @pnewton / @ProVobis (good luck straddling the fence on this one) @Spyridon @ShadrachMA that William Jefferson Clinton is a racist and Barack Hussein Obama had a gay affair?

The comments and likes here just demonstrate how backward some people’s Catholic morality is, to put allegations ahead of slicing up unborn babies.

Amazingly, people like this still waddle their way nto the Communion line.

Errr… actually, no, they didn’t.

Trump lost the popular vote.

Trump has no track record as being prolife … abortion or any other prolife measure…what do you base your support of Mr Trump on?
 
I also voted for neither of the major party candidates, but I don’t live in a swing state. I wrote in a different GOP candidate but I knew that there was no way my vote was swinging the election.
 
I have heard Trump supporters who openly say, “He’s the President we have. Yes, I wish he’d quit putting his foot in his mouth. Yes, I’m glad we have him instead of HRC. No, he is not the greatest President ever elected. He is worth enduring because the alternative was worse. I wish he’d do more to keep his majority in Congress in office. If he keeps knee-capping them in public, we’re going to wind up losing ground in the midterms.”

He is doing a great deal of damage to the Republican Party, but he’s also exposing dry rot that was always there. I don’t blame him 100% for all of that. It isn’t as if the party wasn’t fractured and internally inconsistent before he got there. Having said that, I wish he had some idea how he really looks when he brags using false numbers for no reason or gives offense for no reason. He could avoid so much of the criticism he gets by using some common sense and self-restraint. (He promised during the campaign he’d be so presidential people would get bored, but that lasted less than a week. It seems he can’t sustain self-control required or else doesn’t believe he’d keep his supporters if he acted with some decorum.)

He lost by several million votes… that’s pretty significant.

The electoral college worked beautifully in this case however. Trump lost the popular vote because of LA and SanFran.

That’s the exact reason the EC exists - so one or a couple regions can’t dictate to the rest of the nation who should be president.
 
There were many people in obviously non-swing states who didn’t vote for either HRC or Trump because they knew their vote wouldn’t make a difference. The popular vote doesn’t win elections, people vote knowing that it doesn’t, and so nobody can say that the candidate with the fewest votes “lost” anything. It’s like saying the World Series team who scored the fewest runs but won the most games “really lost.” No, they won. HRC lost the election, Trump won it. (That is “What Happened,” and I can’t believe she’s making money writing a book that puts any kind of twist on that.)

Trump racked up a smaller popular vote. He didn’t lose, though, because the President of the United States is not and has never been elected by popular vote.

He signed an executive order reducing funding for abortions abroad and appointed what appears to be a pro-life SC judge…
