Never said Hillary is great, only that Trump is extremely worse and more dangerous. I’m sort of hoping she will have Elizabeth Warren as her running mate, but that would probably do as much good as Bill having Al Gore as his VP…which helped but not a whole lot.
I don’t think we need to dig up dirt on Trump to see that he is unfit for any kind of serious political office. He’s not a man but a man-child, with the emotional maturity of a toddler who hasn’t had breakfast.
Yes, demonstrating clearly that Fox News were nothing but shills for the RNC and showing that perhaps a majority of Republicans don’t care about social issues was definitely important.
I think that’s the difference between this and the 1992 election. Bush was losing, perhaps badly, but he wasn’t personally disliked. Trump is personally disliked.
He is the presumptive nominee and he has high unfavourables, but he is running against a presumptive nominee on the Democratic side who doesn’t have high favourables… so, there may be room for change perhaps for both in regards to unfavourables and favourables. If Trump chooses a really good VP choice, it may have an effect of moderating his image (probably not his policy positions), and increasing his favourables.
Clinton’s unfavorables aren’t nearly as high, but it does underscore what a missed opportunity it may be for the Republicans as it was clear three years ago that the Democrats were going to nominate a flawed candidate.
Oh. Canada?
Again, what makes anybody think the “highest bidder” for Hillary Clinton’s actions won’t be the biggest polluter? Remember, she has already received something like $40 million from the oil states in the Middle East. What compelling reason is there to imagine that she’ll do anything to curtail their sales of oil to the U.S. and the rest of the world?
My thinking also, disappointment is what it is. In my opinion conservation democratic Catholics and Hispanics and many others were willing to avoid the Hillary situation but are finding Donald more and more difficult to accept. This is going to be a tight race as a result but it could have been a landslide. Plays that usually run Blue could have ran Red. Trump is his own worst enemy. Paul and many Rep are simply red-line honest and really expect Trump to listen, not play rogue when we are playing for all the marbles. I think Trump is now overestimating his position.
So in a word, yes, Trumps conversation with the evangelicals is important for him to get right. But it was important as Christians he got his message right with the hispanics and he didn’t. So we will see. People are concerned, they are in it for the fight but feel as I said we are fighting unneeded fights.
And you think that Trump can’t be bought? One has to wonder why he, a reputed billionaire, was involved in a business venture like Trump University which didn’t make him that much money but used unsavory practices. I think Trump will try to make money any way he can.
The Catholic Church believes in many more intrinsic evils. It’s bishops have addressed voting guides. And the Pope you profess loyalty to has addressed the issue with counting to 5 values. Peace.
I think the argument is by conscience you can’t force them as disciples of Christ to act against their firm held belief. I never really thought it through but by the same token I don’t think in terms of, is the rep party christian compatible, but realized only the Democratic party isn’t for sure. Thats where I’m at.
You may “think” Trump can be bought but we “know” the Clinton can
