Well it’s just another obvious example of Trump expecting the populace to believe nonsense.


And it’s way down on the list of shite I care about.

This is a feelings issue.

It is. It's perfect. The media is going to act all pearl clutched now, like they haven't been in unison lying to us for years and they are in shock over a meme.

when you are given the choice of Trump vs Hilary

again... there were 18 other choices that Republicans, who like to ride hard as the "religious right", could have chosen rather than Trump... the fact that they aligned themselves with one of the most godless men to ever walk the face of the earth, IMO, will NEVER be justified...

where was their conviction in their faith, to select someone more closely aligned with what they claim to believe... then trying to shoehorn him into this quasi "savior" of the party, when he is anything but that, it's just a very, very crazy thing to me...

Rather early on it became obvious who was going to win. Therefore the choice was Trump or Hillary.

you are still missing the point...

if Christians, during that election, had stood on their self-proclaimed principles, and truly looked at this man's history and character, there should have been no way he would have been the nominee... clearly, that didn't happen...basically, Christians, in that election valued power and winning an election more they did selecting someone that actually represented their values, or alleged values...

Im not missing the point. I don't think devout Christians make up more than 30% of the Right.

Well, yeah. So what? The other option was worse.

He was the closest at that point. The Roe v Wade overturn was definitely huge. He can post like an arse, but the results he has delivered are in many cases, good for Christians.

The other option

again, there were 19 Republican candidates in 2016.... you saying that NOT ONE of them was a more God-fearing, actual representation of what Christians believe than Trump?

you can't be serious... you saying that Trump was the closest candidate to actual Christian values, in a field of candidates that included Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee?

there is no way you are serious with this statement

You're missing my point. No, but as the primary moved on they saw the writing on the wall.

Between Hillary or Harris or Biden? Yes. Again, it was obvious he was going to be the nominee and devout Christians are not the majority of the Right.

again, had "Christians" ACTUALLY voted based on their convictions, beliefs, and values, there is no way he would have even been in the conversation...

and yes, as the cult of personality of Trump gained momentum, you are correct they saw the writing on the wall... and abandoned their principles completely and went with someone who is not an actual representative of what they claim to stake their life on.... and that is sad to me...

You're literally campaigning for people who feign subservience to God but act like scoundrels.

Do you think there is a truly godly man in that field of 18? Who is it? Jeb frickin Bush?

I sympathize with Trump. Just today someone saw my gold cross around my neck and asked if I worked for the Red Cross. I laughed because it was a honest mistake. I replied no, I’m just a Doctor.

This is the 3rd time ive said it, they arent the majority. Maybe 30%. And they probably split among the ither options.

so the other 70% of the Republican party would identify as not religious/agnostic/etc?
