    You're a hoot, Jim.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      The Evangelicals didn’t make a mistake in their own mind. They’re getting all they wanted from Trump, from Supreme Court justices to the battle against brown immigrants. Of course, like Doctor Faustus selling his soul to Mephistopheles to gain power, they will pay the price in due course.

        You missed the "or" in the text. Ignore OR agree does not mean you have to do both. Basic logic.

Like I said in my OP the courts are my main concern and there Trump has kept his promises - fully. I'm certainly not going to join the late term abortion left that is trying to bring him down. Do I overlook things I shouldn't, yes but what is the alternative - the baby killing left?
          When I was standing in the booth, praying about how to vote, that realization was the main thing that nudged me to Trump, rather than leaving it blank.

            Can you point to a single instance where you've ever cited one of these "conservative sites" you "research"?

            I am a consumer of news of varying viewpoints. I watch more MSNBC than I do Fox. I try to read the New York Times and Washington Post when they're not behind paywalls. And in stark contrast with yourself this shows in my posting where I often cite liberal sources.

            It is always best to read/hear for yourself what each side is saying rather than relying on just one side and what they claim the other side is saying.

            I'm always still in trouble again

              And your prayers led you to to vote for a president who has five kids with three wives while paying hush money to the porn star he had an affair with and who boasts about grabbing women's genitals. Right.

                As opposed to Clinton who supports late term abortion? At least Trump is not advocating for the death of babies...

                  Says the person that cited a website called ‘talking points’.

                    Got to love Tazzy’s little ‘anyone who disagrees with me is racist’. Remember, liberals think minorities are too stupid to get ID cards.

                      CNBC has some really good documentary shows.

                        Correct. It was the lesser of two evils, or the evil of two lessers, and he won't be in office forever.

                            One of the unintended benefits is that we get to see liberals say really really nutty stuff.
