    Yes. And what a satire it is - of those that he can count on to vote for him! Can you imagine the mentality that prides itself in being exactly what he said said they are! In another thread where this quote came up, one reply from defenders of Trump was 'It depends on who he shot'!

    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

      The only thing that's 'driving' me to vote for Trump is never-Trumpers making wild-eyed accusations like this.

      • Even some of the leading lights have had a gut-full of the loonie left's antics. Calls to de-fund liberal arts and remove them from University curricula, or create new universities that preclude them, because nothing can get done while they're running riot on campus and riding rough-shod over other faculties. If the left doesn't get a grip on reality, their future is not going to be pretty.

          YEP!

          I've had way more than my fill of "righteous" shame-thrower evan-jerk-ical pantloads. I understand why they don't like Trump, didn't vote for him, won't vote for him. I think they're misguided, but I understand, and generally won't bash them for it. But that 20% "righteous remnant" can't bring themselves to extend the same courtesy to us. When I hear all their huffing and puffing moral indignation, all I really hear is a bunch of TDS-afflicted loons calling us irredeemable deplorables, and I realize they are not worth my attention.

            I'm still waiting for them to tell who it would have been morally acceptable to vote for in 2016.

              Trump is the one who said it (I could shoot someone and I wouldn't lose voters), and it was a person on this website that said "It depends on who he shoots" in terms of whether they would follow him if he actually shot someone.

              It is sad that people would be able to joke about that, especially given the fact Trump has purposefully used that aspect of who his followers are to attack people critical of him. Up to and including a college freshman that rubbed him the wrong way.

              Maybe you all think its just some sort of joke that followers of Trump issued death threats to that young lady? It's just ridiculous how cavalier you all are. Human lives hang in the balance and it's all just a joke.

                You're not exactly helping your case here. I've long since given up on attempting to discuss anything Trump-related with you. What's truly sick is your determined attempt to see anything about him or anyone who dares to defend him against the most patently baseless accusations in the worst possible light. As I intimated in my last post and have reiterated frequently, I view Trump as the least worst option. Offer me a sane alternative, and I'll jump at it. What you're doing is.... not helping. I truly wish I could make you see that, but it is what it is.

                    Assuming one exists, I would seriously consider voting for him/her. The Democrat platform of late admittedly makes that difficult.

                      It's hard to win with a "nice guy" campaign when the opposing party uses every dirty trick in the book. The question is, at what are we just fighting evil with evil and we should accept that the country is lost?

                        You need to look in the mirror. You and most others here do not discuss any points with me without first attacking me personally. I rarely am able to focus on what the arguments are for or against any position because as soon as i nention something I think is wrong with Dohald Trump, every post that follows contains at least one comment about what that person thinks is wrong with me. Not one of you has a clue how to discuss any point I make about Donald trump without first making at least one but often multiple derogatory comments about me.

                        This is the cycle.

                        I point out a problem i see with trump to one person in one post.

                        At least two of you attack me personally with some non zero probability youll add something productive in the mix.

                        Then, if I ignore your personal attacks and just respond to whatever content was there, you just continue to add more personal attacks.

                        If i respond in kind, you then wonder off with yet more personal attacks, and add that I am too unreasonable to have a conversation with.

                        It is virtually impossible for me to have any reasoned conversation with any of you. You simply will not allow it.


                        I dare one of you to go three posts with me without insulting me. If you do, youll see nothing derogatory against you personally will be in any of my responses.

                              I once made the comment that Trump could not possibly be a good president, because no-one had tried to kill him. That was, of course, before all the character assassination attempts became apparent (they were probably apparent earlier, but not this side of the world). I now consider that my focus was too narrowly concentrated on physical attacks.

                                Perhaps his biggest failing is that he is easily led astray, by the bad people that he surrounds himself with, and who work their evil schemes while Trump is thinking about his next golf outing, or his next tweet. His most spectacular incongruity is the mismatch between his self-opinion and his ability.
