    As did myself and my household. Texas did not go to Trump in the primary. I actively campaigned against Trump in the primaries. But like CP, I held my nose and voted Trump in the general election as the lesser of 2 evils.

      You should practice actually answering questions instead of hiding behind scripture out of context!

      Are you an adult?
      So let's put the part of scripture you quoted a part of into the context of just the sentence it is a part of: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."

      So you were the one obviously quoting out of context since it is not about telling one's age.

        Yes, I was mocking you.

        • I think this sums it up in a very short and very telling way:

          But the shamelessness of this administration, the dishonesty, the total indifference to facts, is something I haven’t seen before — at least not this blatant. I think it’s demoralized people and made them even more cynical about politics.
          I think the cumulative effect of all this lying is to make people deeply cynical about our entire system, and that’s very corrupting.
          Again, Trump’s lying is a big facilitator of all this corruption. This is a guy who will look right into the camera and lie without any hesitation at all. It’s hard to overstate what kind of tone that sets in an administration; it makes everyone more comfortable when they lie, when they deceive, when they cover things up.

          This is the administration that Pence with his once high ideals is a part of and seemingly continues to be a part of. Those of you who think he is justified in being part of it are supporting the last part of the first quote.

            Because he won the primary.
            In some ways the MSM are responsible for Trump in that they gave him far more coverage than all the other Republican candidates combined -- and initially it was relatively balanced not turning into full blown attack mode until it started to look like he had a very good chance of winning.

            I'm always still in trouble again

              I hope you didn't pay very much for that mind reading course.

                • Ryan is living proof—as is evangelical super star Mike Pence—that there is a new kind of Roman Catholic and evangelical conservative leader that has long since abandoned anything that could be called a prophetic voice on behalf of those Jesus called “The least of these.” Frank Schaeffer

                        Maybe we got it wrong. Maybe he is not a young kid. But an old man who is senile?

                              I don't know about you, but I've been cynical about politics for most of my adult life. I agree, the President should tell the truth. However, I find it massively hypocritical that the fine folks you've linked to are suddenly all angsty about it after having turned a blind eye to the last administration and Trump's primary opponent for exactly the same thing.
