After Trump Then What?

Hi,  Hardly think that to be the case. If the world has a "biggest" problem it is the rejection of it's maker.

OK, Democrats are the second biggest problem the world has, and Christians have no business voting as a Democrat.

And that will keep the Republican tent very tiny, if it is perceived as a religious order of, white, male dominated evangelical protestants.

Explain yourself here.

Sure, nothing turns individuals off faster than telling them if you don't do this or that my way  you are not Christian.  To say one can't be a Christian and still vote for a Democrat is an absolute losing strategy.

Republicans need to expand their base not shrink it by having a Christianity test.

This is an example of a Strawman Fallacy.  You have misquoted me.  You know, you only have to scroll up to see what I actually said. 

I said Christians have no business voting as a Democrat, and I will expand the idea by saying they have no business being a Democrat.  This is because the party's values and policies are in direct conflict with the values of being a Christian.

Far as I know I did not quote you.

I have addressed the idea as I understand it to be expressed in your posting that voting Democrat is not what Christians are to do. I have stated that will make for a very small political group of the Republicans if that were to become their mantra.

How 'bout that so called debate last night, eh?  Geesh, such a low bar and yet  neither seemed able to hurdle it. But hey she can talk, not just laugh. He should have prepared, it was not his best  effort, again he failed to close the deal, while  she is just emitted fluffy white noise. Ahh the duopoly, it is like living  one continuous WWE championship wrestling match.

May God have mercy on us all.

You have correctly expressed the idea, this time, instead of suggesting I said a Christian cannot vote Democrat.

I don't understand this statement.  Do you mean Christian Republicans?  Regardless, Republicans tend to vote Republican, so I am not following your meaning.

I saw a bunch of polls that showed that Trump smoked Harris in the debate including C-Span, which is considered fairly neutral.   

It was disappointing to see the moderators lie so much and favor Harris, but they were Democrats following the Democrat agenda.  It was expected.  It was brave for Trump to show up in their blue den, without an audience and to their rules.  It was clearly 3 against 1.

There were no winners last night in the debate.  No solutions were detailed and the same ol' same ol' thing blah, blah, blahed.  They may have fooled themselves into thinking they adequately answered questions; but, getting emotional and angry doesn't solve a thing.  It's going to be a long four years.

Yep, but that was expected was it not?  Haven't seen any instant polls myself. BUT I did get the personal impression that it is going to be important (vital) that  Republicans flip the Senate regardless of the presidency election result.  I think the Senate to be more important than  the House of Representatives in holding back the tyranny of the leftists in general, and the presidency  of Harris specifically, should she win. Judge appointment approvals and treaty conformation issues being extremely important.

Trump already has his trumpers Harris has her Dems. I don't see where Trump was particularly articulate  or visionary  in a manner that will move the needle so to speak in his favor  with those not already in his camp.

I think Harris surprised many  if not all that thought she was just a bobblehead to simply be dismissed. I think she got to Trump very early on, even from her introductory handshake, and just kept him off his game.

It took Lindsey Graham,  after the debate, to even bring up the stronger Republican points Trump didn't  manage to get to at all. Pretty bad when your "Seconds" in a duel have to explain why you didn't even get to fire your weapons, as Graham decided he needed to do for Trump.

All Trump got off was a flash, a flash in the pan, leaving her unscathed. She on the other hand got him going into some incoherent responses to her shots at him. Wasn't a good night for team Republican far  as I could tell. Sure hope it doesn't hurt downstream Republicans in Senate and House races.

Regardless, the sun rose through the clouds this morning, Jesus is still my hope certain, and life goes on either here in the flesh or better yet in the incorruptible Spirit body to come. Praise God!

I wholeheartedly and sadly agree 100%.  She was inept and rude and formulaic.  He kept taking the bait she cast and missed opportunity after opportunity to make a stand.

It's been the longest two months of my life watching two teams of people proudly EXALT their candidate as the "one and only".

It's not going to be rainbows and candyland, no matter who wins.  It will be a long four years no matter which one goes in.  I just don't know why people don't understand that.
