Why do you think Gingrich would be a disaster for the campaign? I think Trump is a one-man disaster for his own campaign; anyone else would be beneficial.
Do you still think so? After everything we have learned about the untouchable Hilary?

Trump is so much more palatable now…in contrast to her.

Unpolished vs above the law.

What I mean is that Trump, more often than not, puts both feet in his mouth while shooting them. I had thought he was becoming a masterful politician; however, hearing him talk about the rigged system in relation to Hillary and the FBI findings and following that by reiterating that the Iraq War was disastrous because Saddam Hussein had been beneficial to us by killing terrorists, reveals that he does not yet know how to capitalize on a moment in time that can be truly harmful to Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the general election. Why squander the opportunity by shifting to a topic that most Republican conservatives do not appreciate or resent? Trump has a tendency to go one step forward and two steps backward. That is why I think he needs help by choosing a VP nominee who can stick to one topic of importance at a time.
 
I guess they would do an article on the theology of Hillary Clinton but it would be about one word long.Crooked
The Theology of Hillary Clinton

by moi

Uh. Jesus stuff. I guess.

She doesn’t talk about religion much.

We don’t need an unpolished leader who is going to alienate our allies and make relations with our opponents even more difficult because he says stupid things all the time.
 
That’s quite a contrast, and rather amusing too.
Yes, quite the contrast. Both were speaking off-the-cuff, Trump in response to a question by Frank Luntz, Hillary in response to a question by an audience member at a Town Hall-style campaign event. Trump was smarmy and flippant whereas Hillary was very sincere and had clearly given this matter much thought, really speaking from the heart. The contrast in content is obvious but the contrast in tone was quite telling, too.
 
Are you saying she doesn’t “really” have faith?
I have seen no indication whatsoever that she takes any Faith seriously. And to be honest I would say the same thing about Donald Trump. Trump, however, at least has said he will defend the most defenseless . Hillary wants the taxpayers to pay to kill them

Mean like Hillary did when she was secretary of state?

If she says she has faith (and she does), who are any of us to second-guess her?

(And please. Is anyone still believing that Trump is actually going to champion the unborn if elected?)

And again, there was Huma Abedin’s quote that HRC is “often confused”.

I guess for Democrats, “often confused” isn’t a disqualifier.

Look at the mess she made in Libya in the Middle East . Look at how in emboldened Russia has been after her inept handling of the so-called restart. And note that she has said she is going to pick her cabinet based on gender rather than who is best qualified to do the job . I suspect, however, that Bill Clinton is the one demanding the cabinet be 50% female - gives him more opportunities

His list of Supreme Court nominees seems to indicate he will. His promise to defund Planned Parenthood seems to indicate he will. His promise to reinstitute the Mexico City policy seems to indicate he will . But regardless we know what Hillary wants to do -unrestricted taxpayer-funded abortion on demand.

:eek: Lord forbid, imperfect worship I believe is the proper term. “I believe in the Holy Catholic Church.” Im not sure she ascended to this obedience as of yet with abortion and the Methodist Church for that matter. She probably understands herself to be a part of the Church. But if you don’t believe everything she does then you don’t believe in her-Church. Yes, the intentions may be bad or good, but “intrinsic evil and a evil action cannot be justified by reference to a good intention.” According to and to paraphrase the CCC.
 
Latest Ramussen poll has him 5 points up He is going to be the nominee and may very well win. If he does the Democrats can blame themselves for picking such a crooked congenital liar as their nominee. We really shouldn’t say nominated as she was coronated eight years ago to be this year’s standard bearer.
The Rasmussen poll is the only poll that has Donald Trump ahead. Every single other poll has Hillary ahead, often by double digits. Regardless, both parties have only themselves to blame should they lose, because Trump and Hillary are the most hated major party nominees in a long time. Let’s put it this way - the average percentage right now of people voting for Trump added to people voting for Clinton is roughly 75%! That means that 25% of people don’t want to vote for either candidate!
 
Is anyone watching Donald Trumps speech tonight? I think he is seriously deconstructing. I urge his supporters to try to see it. It’s over now, but I’m sure the whole thing will be posted somewhere. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts.
 
In the news:
Eric Trump told the newspaper that his father donated massive amounts to his own charitable fund but refused to provide any documented evidence of Donald Trump actually doing so.
“My father has given me and my foundation hundreds of thousands of dollars. And he’s given other charities millions and millions and millions of dollars,” Eric Trump told the Post.

He explained that the reason the donations are private is because his father “likes to keep some anonymity” and because “it’s who he is as a person.”

Over the last month, both Eric and Donald Trump have come under fire for allegedly misusing charity money.

The Post on Wednesday published a 2014 tax return showing that the Eric Trump Foundation gave $87,665 to one of Donald Trump’s golf courses.

So far, two different channels used the word unhinged and a third commentator likened him to Charlie Sheen.

Any thoughts?

Yes, Trump is no doubt erratic and incoherent in his speech, besides being insulting. Some like the fact he speaks his mind, which is probably also incoherent. Others argue he must be doing something right since he is the chosen nominee for the GOP, as well as being wealthy and powerful in the business world. Finally, still others point out that no matter what Trump’s faults, he is better than Hillary, who has already proven her political and policy ineptitude, can easily match Trump as a “conveyer of mistruths,” and is every bit as hungry for power.

This is our choice: the “devil” we know vs. the “devil” we don’t.
