Came back on here after talking to my husband yesterday. He gives me a view that is well informed based on being from a country with many political issues as well as some comparisons to Mussolini. I know it can come back from Trump supporters that it's just another liberal exaggeration (always stating-not politically affiliated.) but my husband is logical and impartial in this. He also saw Trump as a dangerous man and is actually more worried about the ramifications he can have on his country in Europe in the future. There were some parallels with Mussolini that affected his country and he foresees affecting ours. The only real difference is that Mussolini did have some kind of plan and values that he felt strongly for. Not ethical ones but not narcissistic and self-serving either. There was organization of a sort there.
That being said, he stated that they will not impeach Trump and I believe his reasoning is sound and correct. It's true that Trump is now starting his new campaign for the next 4 year run in being president and he's doing it for a good reason. While he is everything stated here as well as seemingly happy to stay uninformed on facts, he is also a strategist and can maneuver the system. While the GOP is most definitely ready for Trump to be impeached and have several points to do so, the power will still stay with Trump for the fact that Pence lacks the charisma to keep a following for the 2020 election while Trump has this insane worship. They know it can go back to a democratic government in the white house and that's the card Trump is throwing in their faces now. There are a few other scary things my husband cited in the same parallel that happened historically in his country but let's just wait and see how crazy it gets first.
This is very ignorant and an insult. Because the man is God fearing, and respectful, you call him names. Our government was founded on Christian principles and is why America is one of the best countries in the world. Such an ignorant statement.
To answer the question, I support Trump, but I would love to have Pence as President too. I could say yes, I would like Pence as President, he is a very respectful Christian man.
the government was not founded on Christian principles. Separation of church and state.
I don't condone name calling but Pence is very religious in his thought that gays can be 'fixed' and want women to have a funeral for an abortion or miscarriage. I don't care for his way of thinking.
That said, I would prefer him over Trump. He wouldn't be a threat to us internationally. He speaks coherently. I think he would do a much better job at calming the waters.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You have deep seated ignorance about the establishment of our government and zero knowledge that it was established ensuring that there would be NO religious influence.
I suggest you study up on the Constitution and how our founding fathers purposely avoided establishing government policies based on religious belief systems. Take all of the religious belief systems out there...when you line them up you find that they are not compatible with one another. So whatever your belief system is...it's certainly cannot be a truth that can be applied to everybody, because other people belief what they do, with no less fervor.
We are citizens of a country that was not founded on a religion...we were founded on a secular construct that protects your rights to follow whatever religion that you want to follow.
The US Constitution does not mention the word god. The founding fathers knew the dangers of writing legislation that tells people what god to worship. They knew this...shame on the ignorant Americans who don't know this. They knew how governments can persecute people who have belief systems that did not agree with the State. So they created freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion.
Ignorant minds such as yours would love to see the US following in the path of those countries that persecute people for not believing in the religion that country was established upon.
Your statements are beyond misinformed and utterly ignorant.

So many dumb Americans. It's astounding how anyone in this country is not aware of the fact that our founding fathers made sure that there was no established religion.
I'll take a ideolog rooted in reality over a buffoonish delusional man-child every day of the week...
That's scary. His ideas are not rooted in reality. Him stating that Evolution is false is not reality.
Take a good look at the countries ruled by religious extremism. How good are they doing? What's the quality of life for their citizens? How much freedom do they have?
Our political system has been broken for a long time thanks to the two party system that are influenced by Special Interest Groups, Lobbyists and Wall Street.
Neither Trump or Pence is the answer. Neither was Hilary.
