1. Those were probably the diehard Republicans. Both sides of the aisle have a few who would vote party line even if nobody was running.

2. Charges, as in accusations made against someone. You know, it isn't just a legal term. Neither is indict, BTW. Did you really think the legal profession made up their own language? No, they pretty much used words from existing languages. It sounds much more dire because of the innate human fear of authority, but seriously, it's just a word.

1. Huh? You don't think female diehard Republicans would vote for Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Bush, or Fiorina? Why did they choose Trump over the others? You don't have Hillary to blame when it comes to the primary.

2. OK, maybe you should say "accusations" then. Let's be honest, there is a reason you are using "charges" instead of "accusations." You can say "words have multiple meanings" all you want, but you chose "charges" for a reason. It is much more accusatory than "accusations." I don't fault you for it, but let's just call a spade a spade.

Every woman I know that voted for Trump did not vote for him in the primary and were convinced he would never be the Republican candidate.

OK, cool, I went back and read.

You got your SCOTUS judge.

I noticed you said:

Sounds like you have some doubt, even with Republicans controlling everything. After the train wreck I've witnessed over the last eight months, I would have my doubts too.

1. No idea. Not a Republican and quite frankly I don't follow primaries.

2. I used the word charge in place of accuse because I'm a freelance writer who has already read more books than the average individual ever will in their lifetime and possibly because I've been reading medieval fantasy recently (If you like fantasy, David Eddings is pretty good. Lots of Noble Knight lingo, thees and thous and sentences like "I charge you with insulting my horse's honour.") I made that up. Nobody got charged with insulting a horse's honor in the book. That is how the word is used though.

You belong on the subreddit "iamverysmart"

Holy crap, I hate fantasy. I read The Hobbit in sixth grade and hated it. I watched one of the Lord of the Rings movies and fell asleep.

I also read In Cold Blood in sixth grade and told all of my classmates how great it is. They shrugged their shoulders and talked about The Hobbit.

I'm just a reading addict. Started in elementary school thanks to a librarian who was tired of me talking and got me started on Louis L'Amour. Since then, I'm always reading or writing. And no, I don't write political articles as a freelancer. They actually don't sell very well, and a lot of my work is ghostwriting. Seeing someone else's name under something as personal as my political beliefs would irritate me.

I actually can't stand Tolkien's writing style. Awesome imagination, terrible communication. He did almost singlehandedly create a genre, though. Later authors just improved it.

ETA. In Cold Blood was a good book. Truman Capote was a fantastic author. Writing really was his life.

I have answered your OP. WTH does Christian have to do with it? I could be agnostic for all you know.

You will not get anyone to take you seriously again if this is how you act toward someone who was willing to answer your questions honestly.


If you would of read ALL of my post I said that we knew Trump was sexist male before he ran for office. And even after he hit on the French presidents wife.


Conservatives tend more often Christian then not hence why I asked. I didn't assume I asked you.

My wife voted for Johnson, as did I, because neither the Dems nor the Reps put up anybody that we felt was worth voting for.

I love how the left excuses Clinton's behavior by saying "Oh, that's just what presidents do." Did you forget about his multiple sexual assault charges? Or about the fact that he not only lied to the American people about his White House activities but also lied under oath about it? I guess if Trump were to have an affair with an intern the Dems would just look the other way because "that's what presidents do." Right?
Soooo.... the bolded isn't identity politics? Yes, yes, it is.

Why? Because Hillary is a woman? Hillary can't help that.
