That's Pat Robertson. I think it's pretty easy to guess who he voted for.Frequently people say untrue things about others. Marriages are broken up because of false rumors that someone has spread. Reputations of honest and honorable people are damaged. I can think of several times when rumors have started about me. Christian people not only believe falsehoods but also pass these stories on without even stopping to investigate. Starting lies about someone or spreading them is bearing false witness, a terrible offense in the sight of God.[

It's bearing false witness. You know, breaking one of the Ten Commandments. And Trump does it all the time. But it doesn't bother the hypocrites in the White Evangelical movement.

Dude- we know. You have completely missed the reason that Trump was elected. We all know he’s a liar. A self-aggrandizing, insecure buffoon.JohnStOnge wrote:It's the same as it ever was.

John isn't confused, he's myopic. Both sides are hypocritical and John either doesn't see it or won't admit the extent of the hypocrisy. I do agree with you that the Evangelical right has taken the hypocrisy to a new level.Chizzang wrote:I don't think John is as confused as he's portrayed on this sightIbanez wrote:

I don't dispute the fact that both sides are hypocritical. The hypocrisy associated with the left when Bill Clinton was being accused of sexual misconduct was completely over the top. All that "believe the woman" stuff went completely out the window. The National Organization of Women was particularly bad.UNI88 wrote:John isn't confused, he's myopic.

And the primary reason Trump got elected is because the Democrats had a candidate who was under FBI investigation then had that resurface about 10 days before voting day. As is always the case there were a number of factors. But that was the most important one.
Again: If Obama could have run for a third term he'd have blown Trump out worse than he blew McCain and Romney out.

The point is that if you think Trump won because of a social change involving rejection of what Obama represents you are mistaken. Trump got a lower percentage of the popular vote than Romney did. He did not get a majority of the vote in Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin. It was much more a case of decrease in people supporting the Democrat and instead going "third party" than it was an increase in support for the Republican.Ibanez wrote:Who cares about “what if”?

This is a dumb point you keep bringing up over and over again. Most modern second term Presidents, if they could have run for a third term, would've won again. Eisenhower would've thumped Kennedy, Reagan would've beaten Dukakis (and heck, Reagan running for a 4th term would've beaten Clinton), Clinton would've beaten W, and yes, Obama would've beaten Trump. The only one who wouldn't have won was W and his was a very unique set of circumstances that led to that. And in almost every case it has absolutely nothing to do what the President represents (policies for instance) and is almost always about the cult of personality - the incumbent is a very strong position, and a twice incumbent even more so.JohnStOnge wrote:The point is that if you think Trump won because of a social change involving rejection of what Obama represents you are mistaken.

The fact that there was a highly credible Seltzer & Company poll that came very close on the Clinton over Trump popular vote margin estimating that if it'd been Obama vs. Trump Obama would've won the popular vote by 12 percentage points tells you something. What happened wasn't a rejection of what Obama represents. It was a rejection of Clinton in particular under some very unique circumstances involving a FBI investigation.

I can cite polling data on the Obama vs. Trump thing. Can you cite polling data on the Eisenhower vs. Kennedy thing? If you can that's fine. It doesn't really matter.
The point is that Trump winning was not a rejection of the Obama era.
And BTW Sanders would've blown Trump out as well.

Yes I've seen that article before and it's nonsense. It wasn't just one poll that suggested that Sanders would've blown Trump out. It was always like that once we got into 2016 according to numerous polls. Sanders was a much stronger candidate against Trump than Clinton was. At the point where RealClearPolitics stopped tracking Trump vs. Sanders on June 6, 2016 Sanders was up 10 percentage points on Trump while Clinton was up 2 percentage points.BDKJMU wrote:Oh baloney.

It was a very unique situation. Again: Clinton spent most of the campaign under FBI investigation and it was very public. Then she had Comey bring that up again 10 days before the election.
And to say Sanders is a "wing nut" while what we're talking about here is Trump is a bit much. If you're looking for a nut job you're not going to find a better example than Trump.

Sanders consistently ran stronger against ANY Republican candidate than Clinton did for as long as he was in the race. To say we have "no idea" is absurd. Do we know for SURE with 100% confidence how it would've played out? No.BDKJMU wrote:There you go again with "the polls".JohnStOnge wrote:

The last Trump/Sanders hypothetical polls on RCP were done in May 2016, 5-6 months before the election.
Hypothetical matchup polls 5-6 months before an election, before most people even start paying attention, between 2 candidates who never faced each, other are pretty meaningless.
Bernie’s got a lot of past history that most average American voters who don't know about because they start paying attention until after the matchup was set that summer between Trump/Clinton or even until the fall.. With the spotlight Trump v Sanders after more voters were paying attention Sanders would have come off as an even bigger wingnut than Trump. We have no idea how a Trump/Sanders would have played out. Its like saying you know how a football game is going to play out 5-6 months beforehand..


Agreed, we never had such an establishment and willfully and openly corrupt candidate like Clinton before. She was one of a kind. She's what Nixon running for a third term would've looked like.JohnStOnge wrote:
And I honestly don't think most people give sufficient weight to what was going on with the FBI investigation of Clinton and how things played out in that regard. There has never been anything like that before.

Trump is more openly corrupt than Clinton is/was. And very openly. It's really obvious. To this day I don't get how any reasonably intelligent person would choose Trump over Clinton based on the idea that Clinton is corrupt. That'd be fine if her opponent wasn't more corrupt than she is. But her opponent was/is more corrupt than she was/is.GannonFan wrote:Agreed, we never had such an establishment and willfully and openly corrupt candidate like Clinton before. She was one of a kind.
