    True, but Trump nor Clinton are evil either.

      Democrats didn’t really care about the many affairs and questionable moral choices of JFK, LBJ, nor Clinton, so I find most of the protest merely crocodile tears.

        Just for clarification - I don't consider Trump 'evil' in the sense Pix claims I do. I consider many of the things he has done as evil, and many of his methods and actions as evil. Bit 'pure evil', in terms of the assignment of that label to an individual, is - fortunately - very rare and typically is earned by a serious of actions like those of ted bundy, or pol pot, or hitler etc.
        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

          Say three nice things about Trump? To show I am being fair here’s three nice things about Obama:

          1. He is a good husband and father.
          2. He did a good job dealing with Osama Bin Laden.
          3. He treated his staff well and was easy to work with and for.

          I’ll wait.

            He actually had a quick wit and could be funny at times.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              1) He values the military
              2) He tends to do things that are overall good for the economy
              3) He is not afraid to make people angry if they disagree with him.

              All of these I consider important qualities in a leader of the country.

                              I take this to mean you can’t think of any, can you? Hillary is a terrible leader that has spent decades, in the public eye, yet... what did she accomplish in those decades?

                                You can take it to mean that you've squandered another opportunity for meaningful discussion.

                                You had a legitimate question. And I answered that question.
