    You might be able to blame me for Hillary's position on abortion IF I had supported Hillary. I didn't.
    See.... I didn't assume --- I asked!

    Are you always this argumentative? I voted for Trump knowing HILLARY was very much corrupt, and pro abortion and pro GLBXTSJRL.... At the time, I had no idea what a jackass Trump was.

    How bout dialing down the hostility just a tad, eh?

    As I said, not my problem.


    Would it be fair for me to accuse you of supporting the murder of babies because you support Hillary?
    That was me asking you.

    No thanks.

    SCOTUS is not Hillary's, and religious liberties are being protected. That the Lord chose a jackass to do it is kinda icing on the cake.



    I don't follow him. I voted for him, and he's in office until he either gets removed after being impeached, or until he gets voted out.



    I wanted Hillary NOT to be POTUS -- I voted for Trump as a protest vote, never really believing Trump had a chance.



    Perhaps you should be addressing this little lecture to them.



    Who's saying that?



    It might if you actually had a point, but all I see is a bunch of conclusion jumping and judgmental lecturing.

    One that too few had considered.

    Loony.

    Have you noticed how cruel the trumplicans have become?
    What, exactly, are the trumplicans?

    I'm or asking you to vote for Democrats. If neither side is decent in your opinion, leave the ballot blank.
    No thanks.

    So Hillary would be president?
    Only if she garnered enough electoral college votes.

    Would that be YOUR fault? No. But if you put Trump in office, it IS your fault.
    SCOTUS is not Hillary's, and religious liberties are being protected. That the Lord chose a jackass to do it is kinda icing on the cake.

    If his behavior represents you, then you are correct to follow him.
    I don't follow him. I voted for him, and he's in office until he either gets removed after being impeached, or until he gets voted out.

    Own it, don't make transparent excuses. Hillary is an excuse.
    I wanted Hillary NOT to be POTUS -- I voted for Trump as a protest vote, never really believing Trump had a chance.

    There are still Trump followers even though Hillary is not running in 2020.
    Perhaps you should be addressing this little lecture to them.

    Saying "what about Hillary" is an exercise in self deception.
    Who's saying that?

    Sorry if this truth hurts.

    If enough of us who were disgusted with Hillary (but not thrilled about Trump) simply didn't vote, Hillary would be POTUS and SCOTUS would be Hillary's. Have you seen how crazy far loony the left has become?

    You didn't need to vote for anyone else if you didn't want to.

    The alternative to voting for Trump is not voting for Trump. You didn't need to vote for anyone else if you didn't want to.

    Yeah

    It matters to me for the same reason it matters to me with everyone I know - I wanna see EVERYBODY in Heaven. No, I'm not a universalist - just really, really hopeful.
    Because God is not willing that any perish....

    I'm honestly not all that interested. At most reports from certain Christian leaders about Trump's piety are either correct, or its possible that they're just seeing what they want to see. At the end of the day it just doesn't matter to the voter whether Trump is genuinely a Christian, or whether he politically caters to the Christians.
    It doesn't matter to me from the perspective that he never ran on a "I'm a religious guy" platform, and the only reason it matters to the liberals is because they tout Buttigieg as a REAL Christian. Buttigieg has, of course, attacked the faith of both Trump and Pence, while claiming he doesn't do that.

    The Democrats are trying to solve their God problem by touting pro-abortion pro-homosexual candidates as the "right kind" of Christians.

    Any Christian should wish for all other people to be saved, no matter how greater a sinner, even themselves.
