More than 200 Republicans who previously worked for either former President Bush, Sen. McCain, or Sen. Romney, endorse VP Harris

LOL

Well it's not easy... Your literally changing everything bit by bit.. most people have a lifetime because they were raised to be Christian and they know all the acceptable things to do and say so even if they aren't saved they can play it off...

Going from being just a regular sinner that never knew God in one's adult life is a lot different. Things don't always come naturally

I'm talking about any election. The answer, of course, is no. Never in recent memory has a presidential candidate had so many of their own party come out against them. Many of those who are speaking out about Trump are top cabinet members from his previous administration. They know him very well and if they are warning Americans about him, then people should pay attention.

While many may not know the names of each and every one of these individuals, it's the large number coming forward that will convince some people not to vote for Trump in November.

If a person is not for America first but would rather we continue to place American needs behind that of other nations, then I would not want their endorsement. Americans are sick and tired of illegal immigrants and foreign nations taking precedence above and over the citizens of the USA.

It's wild how the crowd that supposedly cares so much about inflation is just completely ignoring this.



Yeah, generally, when you institute such a hefty tax on things, they get more expensive.


You know that it was high and that it came back down. If you think it was bad before, wait until we have high tariffs on everything.

We did have tariffs increase during the first Trump administration. However, inflation never went up into high levels.

Abortion is a religion?

The Constitution sets out certain rights, like religion and bearing arms that cannot be voted on (to any significant extent) by the people of a state. The laws were dictated to us by the Founders without us having any say in it.

Well, since the reality is abortion is not a right enshrined in the constitution then it belongs in the states for the citizens to vote on.

California is going to vote according to the ideals held by those citizens and Alaska will do the same so on and so forth.

Everyone is happy that way and get to live according to the ideals of the people they chose to live with.

I don't know... I have to say I was a big fan of the whole peace on earth, goodwill towards men vibe....

I know the warmonger prior to him got the nobel peace prize for sounding nice but I liked the real end to any more wars thing better. .

wait, Obama was a warmonger…?

People are capable of sin, but Jesus forgives us when we change our ways and turn towards Him and His ways, He is always ready to forgive.

We just have to be willing to repent. The Trump I see now is pretty repentant, maybe not perfectly yet but he's getting there just like the rest of us.

WAT. Lololllllllll

It was up until recently.

 

[Belk]

weaponization of the judicial system will do that...

It is interesting how restrained the Democrats are.

They rigged the vote! - But only to defeat Donald Trump

The weaponized the Justice system! - To only go after Trump

Apparently the Democrats are the most ruthlessly efficient conspirators in the world, but are completely and utterly restrained in their use of power to only go after Trump.

I don’t know, I don’t think being a rapist qualifies as “just a regular sinner.” Most people who are sinners don’t collect charges. LoL

No true Scotsman in 5...4...3...

I don't think it's a "no true scotsman" situation (though some may try to say that "they're not real republicans")...each of the people listed are bona fide republicans with conservative positions.


The only thing I would do is draw a distinction between "damage the country due to his policies" vs. "damage the country due to the infighting and backlash it'll cause among the electorate since 40% of the people love him and 40% of the people hate his guts"

Those are two totally different things.

The former is a completely reasonable standard...people should endorse the opponent if the policies themselves would irreparably damage the country. If the irreparable damage is due to the fact that 40% of the population will whine, cry, riot, break into government buildings, and light things on fire if they lose because they hate a candidate, then that's not a behavior that we, as society should reinforce with placation, as that'll become the new "norm"...where all a side has to do is feign outrage and get whipped up into a frenzy, and everyone else would be expected to say "better not vote for that person, they're too divisive"

IE: one team shouldn't badgered into "throwing the game" under the pretenses of "it's the right thing to do" just because the other team's fans will flip a cop car and light a dumpster on fire if their team doesn't win "the big game".

It NEVER was that's the problem!

Now it's where it belongs. I'm really not upset about asking people to vote in a Representative Republic... That's where you're citizenship lies.

 

[essentialsaltes]

It NEVER was that's the problem!

SCOTUS said it was (for a while), and they are the ultimate authorities under the Constitution.

 

[Desk trauma]

I'm happy to jump in a thread on the topic of abortion being part of the religion the left has...

Very interesting thread from the sound, for real. I might learn something....

I guess that's why the DNC was an abortion fair...

Still pretending to not understand, cute.

 

[Hazelelponi]

Still pretending to not understand, cute.

I thought it was...lol.

But it's a good thread idea, I've pretty much been thinking that for a while... But it is kinda conspiracy theory zone and I do try to avoid those zones and take issues at face value.

You think he's changed his ways?

We just have to be willing to repent. The Trump I see now is pretty repentant, maybe not perfectly yet but he's getting there just like the rest of us.

I see absolutely no sign of that whatsoever. In fact, rather than admit to anything he'd done wrong he actually defamed the woman after the sexual assault. So the question remains, considering the litany his faults and his complete lack of remorse, would you still ask the guy in for an interview for a job?

 

[Bradskii]

To 99% of Americans, those "party people" do not matter and will not sway their votes at all.

Leaving 1.6 million voters who will consider it. I'll take those figures, thanks.

"So the word is out that he(Mitt Romney)has not paid any taxes for ten years,” “Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t.” - The late, distinguished gentleman of the Senate, Harry Reid (D) NV

So you're going to take the advice of someone who hasn't paid his taxes for ten years? Romney's staffers probably assisted him!

Considering that your analysis is in error and that the policies of the Trump presidency are demonstrably better than the last 3 1/2 years of what the progressive far left has done to the USA and the world, then I have zero problems at all with voting for Donald Trump.

 

[Bradskii]

I'll take "damage the country due to his policies" for $50.

Actually, my position is that the guy should not be considered for office at all. His policies don't come into that decision. His character excludes him.

 

[RoBo1988]

Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, adding that he “can’t stand” (John McCain)Moveon.org called him “reckless” and “dangerous.” Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., warned that the GOP candidate was a modern day George Wallace and his rhetoric “is playing with fire.”

I don't think I can take a recommendation from the staff that supported a " modern day George Wallace", and someone a great Democratic senator can't stand.

Just saying.
