from First Things:

"There has been much handwringing in the evangelical world over the seemingly high levels of support for Donald Trump among self-proclaimed evangelical voters in Republican primaries. Likewise this phenomenon has drawn much attention from the mainstream media, who seem eager to point out the apparent discord that religious believers would flock to such a controversial figure, one who flaunts his past moral failings, publicly uses indecent language, and 'isn’t sure' if he’s ever asked God for forgiveness ... While it is true that Trump has won pluralities of evangelicals in some key states it is simply inaccurate to say that evangelicals solidly support Trump. Indeed the notion that anything close to a majority of evangelical voters support Trump is simply a media myth...."

Trump is as fake as a 3 dollar bill. He has a history of being a liberal democrat

So did I at on time.  I came to my senses and changed.  Why is it not possible for Trump?  How do the other top two stack up on the 'fakeness' factor?

Trump is like a child on a perpetual temper tantrum. His juvenile antics are fitting of president.  plus the fact that his entire platform is based on propaganda

Time to lay down a few facts and sources for your allegations against Donald Trump.  Not the opinion of his personality, the comment about his platform being based on propaganda.  Do you know what his platform is?

It's hard to believe any of Trumps claims and promises when you realize that he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Many of us around here think he does know that he's talking about....  though a few are not real crazy about how he says it.....   but we are willing to overlook that.
