As for whether or not the bad in trump outweighs the good that might come based on his putting more conservative judges on the bench. ... that would be an interesting debate. Can that one issue balance all the rest?

He did NOT start speaking quickly. Having set the whole, ugly "go back from where you came from" scenario via Twitter, he waited a full thirteen minutes gloating in the chant and saying nothing. It's his style. Same with the "lock her up chants" re Hillary.

Incidentally, the most disputable winning presidential candidate in American history has to be Rutherford Hayes in 1876, but no historian that I'm aware of maintains anything other than that he is just another president in the annals of presidents, even though the election process was questionable."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostIf he were arguing fairly with the rest of us, I'd concede, but here I am applying his logic to him the same way he applies it to us. No room for compromise; no possibility that Trump might not be the devil incarnate - nothing but accusation of evil and out right condemnation. Fine - it works BOTH ways - and yes, the shoe does fit as long as we're using the same stupid shoe horn.
His logic does not allow for us to have it both ways.
and when thst horrible thing he hss done is contrary to basic Christisn tesching, i will point out the moral conflict of supporting that action as a Christian.
So what happens if one of you brings up some other public figure that might have also done something like the thing Trump has done? Do I defend that public figure in that action? Geherally NO. Only if it is clear the accusation itself is false. Abd a lot of the time it isnt false, so you have me on record saying things like hillary's actions with the email server were wrong and I would not defend her with that any more than I would defend Trump's explicit callout to the Russians for help finding deleted emails.
What you cant see teal is that my standards are the same for all. Where the conflict comes into play is that for Donald Trump, the TWEB Christian Trump support chorus is willing to look the other way for him on matters that would have resulted in vocal and vigorous opposition where it almost anyone else.
And so it appears to that chorus I am always against Trump. But the reality is that the chorus here nearly always supports Trump no matter how vile his action. And Trump does a lot of openly vike things. And so we are always in conflict, because I will not support ANYONE doing the sorts of vile things Trump does on an almost daily basis.
