Re: The case for Trump
If you tweaked the urgent issues that he listed, the screed could just as easily have been produced on behalf of Erdogan's semi-Islamism, Putin's traditional Russian patriarcalism, Netanyahu's militant Zionism or even Modi's Hindu nationalism.
In their various ways they all beckon The Folk back to some halcyon past.
I certainly worry about the future of American Christendom.
The patriarchy laying down a little old fashioned economic and social tough love isn't going to solve anything, it is just going to ensure that they become a complete joke in the not too distant future.

Re: The case for Trump
Kind of fascinating that in Trump's all over map pontifications he often doesn't hit right on key with a lot of the standard GOP hot buttons.
But as the good perfesser/revrend indicated, he does appear to be willing no nominate SCOTUS judges that they'll find pleasing.
Some people unmasked here- both purportedly religious people who are generally just authoritarian and authoritarians who will opportunistically fall back to religious arguments.

Re: The case for Trump
I found this on the net, it sums it up well with Trump supporters:
The following is from someone I don't know.
To me she is spot on!!
"Millions of trump supporters feel this way about Donald J. Trump.....
We don't care if the guy swears... or how many times he's been married...or who he voted for, or what his income tax return shows. We want the problems fixed. Yes he's an egomaniac, but we don't care. We know he's not a racist, or bad to women, or all the other things the liberal media is trying to label him with. We know he's raised a good family, and that says a lot about him.
The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere and Muslims are openly trying to hurt this country and make the civilized world adjust to them. We want it all fixed!
We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he fights with Megan Kelly, Rosie O'Donnell, and so many of the elected establishment. We don't care that Rubio, Cruz, Ryan, the Bush's, and so many other top old and new Republicans refuse to endorse him for their own selfish reasons, and we know what they are. We don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorists, we don't care that he tried some businesses that didn't work out.
This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims, where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in, AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED. And TRUMP is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.
We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic and Republican Party. We're angry about the Iran deal, the budget, treatment of Israel, military weakness, lobbyists, special interests, overpaid politicians with their self serving bills and back room deals, trade deals, loss of jobs, manipulated economic numbers, businesses fleeing, and even the phoney pay for play Clinton Foundation.
Americans are no longer going to be fooled, and the movement is out to change the direction we're taking. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn't have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn't have political correctness restraining him, and all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, he's flexible, and he's also not a politician. And he says he'll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.
Public service has become elected greed. This may be our only chance to have a non-politician, despite his flaws, try and correct the mess, at least for 4 years. We must take the shot, because the consequences of putting Hillary Clinton in office are frightening. There is a tidal wave happening, and its going to overcome much of what's happened to this country."

Re: The case for Trump
"And the I's have it!!!!" As in I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do that.
Yes - Mr. Trump is all the things above Milli. And More. But guess what? We're not electing a DICTATOR!!!! You Republicans love to go back to Regan. Regan was an actor. He played the part of a President, and it somehow worked.
But your Duckie you want in office - well, it's all about me. "I'm the only one that can fix this!!!" Right. Like he can fix the rifts within his own party. He CAN'T DO IT ALONE - and that's what whoever wrote the above is forgetting.
We hired an outsider to be Governor of MN. He "shocked the world" when he got elected. A pro wrestler, Jesse the Body Ventura, probably got elected because of a slick add that showed him as a doll Action Figure, BECAUSE, people of MN wanted something done. It was a mistake - and he was a one term Governor. He couldn't get past his absolute hatred of the media.
I see Trump doing much of the same. He will NOT be able to do what he wants, because of the constraints that are on how our government works. He can't do it alone, as much as he wants to.
All his accomplishments of the past - POOF!!!! They mean NOTHING in the realm of our government, and how he's going to get the elected officials to play together.
Sorry - but I want to see his tax returns. He said he would produce them when the time was right - well, it's already 1/2 past the right time, and still no taxes. He lied, just like it says above. And, I DO care that he produces them. I Do care that he lied. I DO care that he has had three wives, the last one doing porn shots.
AND, ALL THE REST THAT IS OUTLINED ABOVE. I DO CARE, and I sure as heck hope that the bulk of America cares. How many times have I had to look at the graphic that you have put up, about the Democrats not caring about Secretary Clinton's emails - how many times? Man - you really are a piece of work. How can a hypocrite like you even look in a mirror, or do you need two side by side, so you can see both of your faces?
