it's ironic that you say the left wants a king, when your Daddy starts his first cabinet meeting with the required universal kissing of the ring. It's also ironic that you say Trump is restoring our republic by repealing Obama's executive orders when the only thing Trump can point to as his achievement, besides the hijacked SCOTUS for which all credit should go to McConnell, is the large number of completely meaningless EO's Trump himself has signed. But I suppose when the white guy signs an EO it's legal and when the black guy does it it's illegal.

Deep down you know that's a lie. Unless your one of his little rich friends he doesn't give a hoot about you. Now run along outside and play.

Where did/do you get your "moral code" from and basically what are the tenants? It's not an inbred thing so where did you learn it? Humans like all animals are not born with any other code than to survive and do what's best for THEM and of course their survival and (maybe) their immediate pack.
Moral anything is a learned concept that comes from somewhere.

Ouch. Truth hurts.

Truth.

Trump wouldn't be in office if it wasn't for Roe v. Wade and Hillary's response in the third debate to the abortion question. The religious right was slow to warm to Trump, but following the third debate they were all in and remain his most loyal supporters. I knew after the third debate that Hillary had just lost the election.

I'd guess I'm what one might say libertarian when it comes to marriage (I don't understand why anyone cares what kind of marriage someone else wants to have), and I don't believe that either Obama or Hillary was ever truly against gay marriage...just against approving publicly re feeling that such a position would be detrimental politically.

And maybe I'm off on the definitions but don't 'Evangelicals' tend more towards fundamentalism than the average self-professed Christian?

Personally, I care little about elected officials' religious beliefs as long as they are able to separate them from their secular duties, I'm just curious why certain religious groups support certain candidates.
I think IF there is a h**l, then Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are going there. I once did a search...'Nancy Pelosi going to h**l', or something similar. I expected to see many hits about the ACA (one of the main reasons I think Pelosi would be going there....for her role in ramming it down our throats), but a vast majority of the hits that came up were instead about her pro-choice stance, especially re her cloaking herself in her Catholicism when it is convenient for her. Who knows what Trump's true beliefs are, but he claimed to be pro-life, and I think that had an effect on voters (and possibly more of an effect outside the NE).

Democrats, including Obama and Hillary, have always been supportive of LGBT causes while the GOP has always been anti-gay. While "gay marriage" had been a huge right-wing fear since the 1980s, politicians at a national level couldn't start openly supporting it until less than a decade ago because it wasn't popular.

When coverage of him ramped up, most negative press was just considered mud slinging.

I'd guess that would be true in most of the US.

I'd bet there is a radical difference in how Trump was perceived regionally pre-election.
Yep.

And people who are part of a television audience responsible for the tacky, inane Kardashians becoming popular also vote, and (outside the NE) might believe a non critical presentation of Trump.
