What about the Dems platform that stands for abortion? We not only elect a president, we also get what his/her party stands for in the bargain.

True, that. Plus it’s highly unlikely a pro-life Democrat would ever get nominated anyway in today’s Democratic Party at least not to the Presidency.

I was responding to a poster who was holding up Trump’s family life as an example. I think - especially for voters who claim to value Christian principles - that a thrice-married politician who has bragged about committing adultery with married women is a curious choice. It speaks to issues of character, and that is, indeed, something that is certainly in play when one is running for president.

As you’re not running for president, I have great sympathy for any family issues you have had, but they are irrelevant to this discussion.

I thought that American Roman Catholics had marriage annulments which run into the tens of thousands each year?

So you think Kasich is going to be the nominee over Trump or Cruz? And how will Trump supporters take to that?
 
Hi,
I just want to say besides pray, that is we survived 8 yrs of Obama. The supreme Court will have 3 openings or more. Hillary ordered S TAND DOWN WITH OBAMA ON BENGHAZI. My son was a contractor in Kabul at the embassy then. He could have been in Benghazi. DO NOT FORGET DEC 7, 1941; 9,11, 2001; AND BENBHAZI. That is how she would act as Commander in chief.
Sean Hannity, Laura ?, Rudy Guiliani, all said if we don’t get behind the populace winner, we put Hillary in.
Trump is new. He has to learn like they all do when they are In office. He will have a cabinet. He is smart and will pick good men.Most of the original candidates need to be his cabinets. If he is shoved out, there won’t be physical mayhem but verbal yellong and chair tossing. I can see it. He is more trustworthy than Hillary. 4 yrs of Trump will still be better than 8 yrs of Obama. New ideas. Some the Congress won’t pass. They won’t make it easy on him. He’ll find out he can’t move 11 million illegals, if he can’t. SEE HIM AS A RICH AMERICAN WHO CARES ABOUT HIS COUNTRY. HE CHANGED HIS VALUES FOR THIS JOB. A BUSINESS MAN WHO OWES NO ONE. WHO WANTS TO SERVE US.

WE CAN’T HAVE HILLARY. HOPEFULLY, SHE WILL BE IN JAIL.
GOD HAS A PLAN. WHO WINS IS HIS PICK… IF HILLARY GETS IT WE KILL MORE BABIES. AT LEAST, TRUMP CHANGED HIS MIND ON THAT ISSUE. PLEASE STAY W THE PLATFORM FOR LIFE… REPUBLICAN.
GOD HELP US. HOLY spirit give us wisdom.

Jacob Kornbluh, a New York-based Orthodox political reporter for the news site Jewish Insider, says that there is “no question support for Trump is widespread” within the Hasidic community. The majority of Hasidic voters he’s spoken to have said they plan on supporting Trump, although Kornbluh says that he has also found support for Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz within the community. But for the average Hasidic voter, says Kornbluh, “Trump is their guy.”

The Hasidim are the most conservative wing of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and are culturally, ideologically, and politically distinct from mainstream American Jews. While Jewish voters overall are consistently one of the most liberal groups in the country, nearly two-thirds of ultra-Orthodox Jews say they are politically conservative, while 57 percent of Orthodox Jews identify with or lean towards the Republican party, according to a Pew survey of Jewish Americans . . .

Since 2000, ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York have voted in national elections in extremely similar patterns to how evangelical Christians voted, according to Sam Abrams, a political scientist at Stanford University who studies the politics of American Jewish voters. The only other religious group of Americans that are as consistently conservative (politically and ideologically) as Orthodox Jews are white, evangelical Christians, according to Pew.

Frum and for Trump.
 
Trump who violates the teachings of Christ.

Trump spokeperson, Katrina Pierson, stated 2013, she lamented that Republicans preferred “old white Catholic guys” as their messengers, naming, alongside John Boehner, Mitt Romney (a Mormon) and Karl Rove (an Episcopalian). The origins of this fixation are unclear, though a March 2012 blog post may offer a clue: “Let’s not forget that the Catholic Church supported Obama and his health care reform.”

The attack on Cruz’s eligibility takes on a new dimension in light of Pierson’s tweet from June 19, 2012: “Perfect Obama’s dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney’s dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?”

And there are gratuitous swipes at religion per se: “They can’t handle the truth,” she wrote of Rick Santorum fans in January 2012, adding: “Most of the religious types can’t.” One month later: “#RickSantorum as most religious people, Do as I say not as I do.”

And about Muslims Pierson’s views are, unsurprisingly, contradictory. “So what? They’re Muslim!” she told S.E. Cupp on CNN, defending Trump’s proposed Muslim ban. Yet: “Malcolm X is my #freedomfighter hero!” she tweeted in February 2013, calling Martin Luther King Jr. “too moderate.” A few months earlier, she had called the militant black separatist her “idol.” Malcolm X, of course, converted to Islam in his thirties, after breaking with the Nation of Islam.

Shows you just how untrustworthy polls are, and why I put very little stock in them. Kasich has no “name brand” recognition. Most of the country’s never even heard of him or knows how to pronounce his name.

The Kasich “ascendency” and insistence that HE is the only one who can beat HRC totally cracks me up!

Anyone able to perform the most basic of mathematical calculations understands that in no way shape or form can Kasich earn enough delegates to win first count on the Convention floor. Kasich is not the choice of the Republican electorate. There will be no brokered Convention.

That said, I hope Kasich stays in the race until the bitter end because the more people that stay in the Republican race, the greater chance of Trump getting the delegates he needs. I would much rather see Trump get the nomination than see Cruz get the nomination.

I think you are describing the average voter. These are the same people who will ignore all the scandals and lies surrounding Hillary and vote for her. But I guess it is easy to decide these things really don’t matter.

So abortions ended under Reagan, Bush 1&2? No, and they won’t under Trump.
You die-hards have got to wake up. Republicans are NOT your friends. They never were.

Take a look at the comments. Majority are faithful Catholics, and they say they would vote for Trump.

I don’t like Trump; I think he’s fake.If I were in their position, I wouldn’t vote for him.

Having said that, look at the reasons the people have cited. They’re sick and tired of Church leaders supporting illegal immigration and other issues that are matters of prudential judgment.

While I vehemently disagree with their choice, I totally understand where they’re coming from. They’re voting for Trump because they’re sick and tired of the establishment, and Church leaders being spineless when it comes to Church teachings, and catering to the liberal cause.

I’ll stand with the Church.
