  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The one that's underway as we speak.
I see no attempts at an illegal take over of our government. If anything... That already happened last year. What are you talking about?

I think so too. Trump has no regard to political platitudes, doesn't need the money, is an outsider, and IMHO I believe he truly does care about this country.
What makes you say he cares about anything but himself?

Seems obvious. Which part of your statement do you believe would not be more applicable to Democrats?

Not to me which is why I am asking for details. I can detail why I think this is true of the republicans (You know, the topic of the thread).

I don't think he even cares if he gets re-elected. He's basically saying "Damn the torpedoes" and doing what he believes this country needs, and in a very apolitical way.
He doesn't care if he gets reelected because he already got what he wanted. To be the most important person in the world and have all the attention on him for several years.

Good job stroking his ego, GOP.

A third party isn't a viable option, so changing the GOP is a way forward.

And is Donald's "economic nationalism" the way to go? And if so, is he doing it right?

Case in point: Donald pretty much tossed out the TPP -- and then tried to negotiate new trades with China.

Had Donald used his head, he could have used the TPP and rallied some of the 10 other member nations to play economic hardball with China. Instead, he discarded his best (his only) leverage and is trying to go it alone.

That's fine. I'm sure that they are just as happy to know that many people are unaware.
I see no evidence of it and you can't detail any either.

There is no coup happening. Welcome back to reality.

Keep saying that if you need to convince yourself.
What exactly are you calling an attempted coup?

Go on, let's see the evidence of this supposed illegal takeover of our government.

There are citizens, even Republicans who disagree with the things he says and does.

Then why is he doing stuff. You know, that whole Jerusalem thingee, etc. Why not just tweet stuff and fly around in Air force one?

i.e. I disagree. :)
