      It is because of you and your ilk that the US and the world is stuck with this lying charlatan .
      Trump's time on the stage will be brief compared to the "appointed for life" justices of SCOTUS.

      So you won't vote for Trump again, is that what you're saying?
      So you admit to being a Drama Queen, is that what you're saying?

      (see, I can play that stupid game, too)
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Ah, so it was merely Machiavellian opportunism. It was worth the hypocrisy to get your Justices? Jesus will be pleased at your cleverness.

        So you admit to being a Drama Queen, is that what you're saying?

        You are not playing any game at all, merely inserting your standard sneer to evade the question; very Trumpian.

        So, you will vote for Trump again, despite saying you are not a Trump supporter, in order to get some Evangelical goodies. Same as before. No wonder Evangelicals are held in such contempt and driving away the more idealistic younger generation.

            I took it as saying: CP says he opposes Trump personally, but since he voted for Trump (or might vote for him again), he is by the effect of his vote excusing serial liars. Thus, "when Trump opponents excuse serial liars".

            My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

            If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

            This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

              Then you didn't see the response I quoted. Tassy was chiding "Trump Supporters" (CP, me, OB1, etc) for excusing a liar (Trump) while accusing a liar (Phillips), so I flipped it around. I inquired how a Trump opponent (Tassy) can excuse a serial liar (Phillips) while accusing a liar (Trump).

                ok -thanks.

                Maybe the solution is not to excuse any serial liars?

                • This has been explained numerous times. I'm sorry you're either too boneheaded or stubborn to grasp it. I'll give the rest of your ignorant post the response it deserves.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    Trump was the lesser of two bad choices available at the time. Hillary was also a serial liar, but was an advocate for abortion, and would clearly have nominated SCOTUS justices detrimental to values I hold dear.

                      Serial liars should be exposed for the liars they are, regardless of party.

                      I might suggest we can add Tassy and JimL to that list for repeatedly declaring some of us Trump Supporters when we have clearly said we are not. Repeatedly stating a lie is, in fact, the very definition of "serial liar". This is why I accuse them of becoming more and more like the version of Trump they hate.

                      Tassman, in particular, seems to have a gift of perverting the truth.

                        By that logic, voting democrat means you support abortion.

                          As usual, you've not a clue what I was saying. I was describing what I thought TASSMAN meant by his comment. I was not making any case for anything, just explaining how I interpreted a statement he made.

                              We've all heard your pathetic rationalization for voting in Trump before. It is unacceptable. You are prepared to vote for a serial liar and twice divorced womanizer in order to get your own way regarding abortion and LGBT rights. This, despite the majority of the population disagreeing with the "values" you "hold dear". Some values!

                                Yes, that's what I meant. It's the hypocrisy I'm referencing.
