Attributing the Powers of God to the foreign tyrant Putin is blasphemy. Look to your salvation.

Trump might even make the nutjob 9th district court more conservative. That works for me.

Winning more every day.
Assuming you are an average middle class American voter, I seriously want to know what conservative judges and courts mean to you? What specifically do you care about that you think this "W" will improve your lot and advance our country?

Add to that the fact that the Democrats ran the exact candidate that Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing pundits have been demonizing for a quarter of a century. Conservatives and especially the Christian Right were on fire in 2016 while Democrats were overall complacent, stuck with a status quo candidate who didn't really energize her base.

Most people today don't care about how corrupt Trump is because he represents something bigger than that to them. In the minds of his supporters, he represents the "American values" based around the nuclear family, the flag, and the Bible that were displayed on classic TV shows like Leave it to Beaver and The Andy Griffith Show. Trump represents our last chance as America to return to the societal order that supposedly dominated the 1950s with white Christian men in control and everyone else knowing their place in society (and happy to remain there). That's why no matter what Trump does it doesn't phase his popularity.


Boom. Nailed it. As long as Trump is hating on those brown and black people they don't give a crap about his corruption.

What nonsense. The Democrat party was destroyed by the policies of Obama. They didn't just lose the Presidency, they lost everything.



And as long as the remaining Democrats continue to call large parts of America "deplorable", stupid and racist, instead of figuring out why they did lose America, then that is where they remain. Their disgust of working America, as demonstrated by the post you responded to, is self evident.

THAT is key. That is what got Trump elected. Trump lost his mind when Obama was elected and championed the whole birther cause. Like an addictive rat in a lab, he's been pushing those buttons ever since.

To be fair, the democracts didn't lose all voters. They lost mostly white voters like myself. Most non whites remain dependably dem.

Only in a fool's paradise, but reality of the God of the Bible struck the whole world between the eyes on election night of 2016. Even Trump was shocked.

Can you answer the question?
You must not comprehend, I did answer your question. God gives us free choice. He does not favor anyone for President he gives you the skills to make that decision.

It's a stupid question like Does God favor my Football team?

If you cross yourself after making a TD, he apparently does...or so think many Trump voters.
