I don’t think that’s why they supported sanders, you just making assumptions.

Never did I say that’s the only reason, or even the main reason, or even a significant reason why they supported Sanders. But had he been overtly prolife, I doubt many would have supported him. Abortion on demand is the absolute bedrock of the Dem party.

We must stop Donald Trump at the Convention. It is our only hope as Catholics to push our pro-life agenda forward. This man praised Saddam Hussian! The Saddam Hussian that we use to insult Barack Hussian Obama.

He will lose to Hillary and the pro-life movement will be set back 20 years. He can be stopped. Catholics must push Republicans to choose someone else!

And what did Trump say about waterboarding (which is torture): “I love it, I think it’s great!”

Trump loves himself, Saddam Hussian and torture. Catholics must do everything to stop this man’s nomination or we’ll have President Clinton and she will push back the pro-life movement twenty years.

Sorry, the ends do not justify the means.

If the Rules Committee changes the rules and the delegates vote differently than what their voters expected, the Republican Party will have broken trust with their members.

That will also put the any nominee other than Trump at a potential disadvantage.

I am assuming that is what you mean by anything. I am getting a little nervous about some of the hyperbolic statements I’ve seen.

And of what relevance is that?

Alot, just b/c someone is a minority and supports or is a republican doesn’t mean they are right.

The Black community is proud that there is a black judge in the SC, but many do feel that he betrayed them b/c of his positions.
 
I’m probably not the first to say this (this is my first Trump thread post, after all), but I’m going to toss this into the wind:

I honestly don’t know who’s going to win, but I’m leaning on Donald Trump. While the polls say that Hillary Clinton is leading by about five percentage points, Trump has something Clinton doesn’t: a cult following.

Hillary Clinton is a politician, and has been playing her game like a politician. She won the primary campaign handily with that – she was the candidate everyone in the Dems could agree with (sorry, Bernie Sanders), and she was well known (sorry, Lincoln Chafee, Jim Webb, and Lawrence Lessig). However, since she’s been playing the politicians’ game, the first thing that people think of when they hear “Hillary Clinton” is “politician”, and if there is one thing Americans are tired of at the moment, it’s politicians.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has a fan base, because he hasn’t been playing the political game. He’s been destroying it, and in the process, he’s been getting the publicity that every politician craves. And while many people are turned off by Donald Trump, many more are just going to say, “well, better vote Republican”, and a lot more are going to say, “WOO!!! Let’s KILL POLITICS! DOWN WITH THE TYRANNY!!!1!” and vote for Trump because frankly, it’s fun to watch all the politicians squirm and cringe at the sight of this billionaire who refuses to play by the rules, and it’s fun to imagine a world with Donald J. Trump at the helm, and it’s fun to put a man who means business in the White House, even though nobody’s quite sure what that business is, Trump himself included.

Donald Trump’s biggest asset isn’t the Republican base, it isn’t the money he has behind him that means he doesn’t need big corporate supporters, it isn’t even his populist tactics. It’s the fact that he’s not playing the game, and it’s the cult following he gets from that. Seriously, when was the last time you heard about a diehard, fanatical, take-to-the-streets Hillary Clinton supporter?

So has Sen. Ernst. Its looking more and more like Gingrich or Christie, but the Donald may surprise us.

Gingrich would probably be a good choice. That way, he and Trump would each have had three wives apiece. I’m sure they would make a good team. And Gingrich is such a good guy. He divorced him first wife while she was in the hospital with cancer.

Maybe that’s what they mean by “family values”.

The spin will be, we didn’t consider Ernst as a VP candidate.

It seems like people are running away from the VP spot, ad passing the hot potato.
