I haven't the slightest idea. That's the problem. He clearly doesn't even have the knowledge necessary to articulate a platform, and he's completely unhinged and unpredictable.

I was discussing this with a friend the other day... I generally don't believe a president has that much power. If we were talking a run-of-the-mill person who I disagreed with on, let's say, every single issue, I wouldn't care. The issue is that the executive branch has basically gained unchecked power as the commander-in-chief due to the last few presidents. I do not feel comfortable with Trump as commander-in-chief because he could basically do anything he wanted without anyone else's approval. The ramifications of that are mind-boggling. I also have no faith that he even has any allegiance to the U.S. Despite what anyone thinks about Hillary, at the very least, she cares about how she is perceived and her legacy enough not to do anything extremely crazy. I'm unsure at what point rational people like yourself stop downplaying the things he says and does simply because of hatred for the Clintons. There was a point during the primaries when I may have hated Hillary more than any person on Earth. It doesn't change the fact, for me, that Trump must not become the U.S. president, and it's crazy to me that more don't feel the same way.

You stated there were "good ones" in the Middle East.

Keep saying I'm a Trump supporter for asking you to back up what you posted.

I'm not interested in a Holy War, just a list of who you believe these countries are.

I didn't say countries. I literally said "ones" - and I'm referring to the population of Muslims as a whole. Are you saying that there's not a single "good" Muslim in the world?

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Name a country in the Middle East where the good Muslims have political power then.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

You'd be surprised by the number of people who think it is "God's Plan" to elevate Trump to the Presidency.

See, what you describe there I kind of feel about Ted Cruz, and to a lesser extent Bush II. I can't trust a guy who thinks his presidency is part of "God's Plan". Trump says a lot of goofy shit, but I really don't believe he's this dangerous out there guy. In any case, the Republic has survived the likes of Franklin Pierce, Warren G. Harding, and Jimmy Carter, I'm sure we'll survive Trump or Hillary Clinton.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Because they don't already?

Totally agree on Cruz or anyone else who thinks this life is just the dress rehearsal for the really great times we get to spend with Jesus. I think Trump would be a disaster as president, similar to Bush II, but with way more scandals. Don't get the idea that he would start a nuclear war. How is that good for his business? And he does seem to care about his children.

I don't believe that's true. Trump is obviously not the preferred candidate of evangelicals. He took on Pence to placate those people.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

I prefer her to him as well, though not by much. But I think some of the alarmist screeching about Trump is over the top. What do you think he's going to do?

Hillary was actually that guy's boss. Did Hillary have anything to do with making policy that caused or created the situation in Benghazi? Did she then lie about what occurred there? I think that's a little more germane than a parent simply saying, "My son died in action and I hate Donald Trump." And I think the fact that you are drawing equivalence between the two situations shows a definite bias.

There is no bais at all. I don't like HRC. The bias is in that you are pissed at this guy for pointing out Trump is a bigot, but are seeming fine with BENGHAZI!!!! still being a thing.

I just think his anger is misdirected. Look, wouldn't Mr. Khan be better served to take out his anger on his fellow Muslims who are blowing people up? I don't think Trump has the answer but at least he's acknowledging there is a problem.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

I would have agreed at one time, even during this primary season. But he has convinced me otherwise. It is his temperament, not his ideology, that scares me (I don't think he has an ideology).

It should also be noted that his VP selection is very similar to Cruz or Bush II in that regard.

I agree that neither Hillary nor Trump presents a major concern in terms of domestic policy. Our system of government limits the damage one person can inflict. However, a president's words do matter - particularly on international issues. At a bare minimum he would be a tremendous embarrassment the minute he took office (many people in other nations are stunned he even has a chance). The fact that he doesn't seem to have even the slightest understanding of international policy nor the desire to learn, coupled with an unfiltered speaking manner is truly troubling. As crazy as things have gotten in recent years the last thing we need is a thin-skinned, crass loudmouth representing our interests in World politics.

Should that really be a consideration though? And that seems antithetical to the concept currently being pushed by Democrats that Trump is a Russian puppet.

You quoted an aside. The broader issue was the "consideration."

"Michele Bachmann expressed hope on Saturday that God has “lifted up” Donald Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton and save the country from Marxism and radical Islamism."

The listener asked Barton if there is anything that delegates can do to stop the nomination of Trump, to which Barton replied that Christians should simply accept that Trump is "God's guy" in this election.

The far-right outlet WorldNetDaily published a column today by author Jerry Kaifetz titled “God has a History of Using Men Like Trump,” in which Kaifetz argues that God may be using Donald Trump to save America from total collapse just as he used King Ahasuerus to stop a plot by Haman to exterminate the Jews.

Frank Amedia, a pastor who says he is serving in a volunteer capacity as Donald Trump’s “Christian policy” liaison, said last month that God told him last year that Trump would win the GOP nomination and that he believes Trump has been “raised up” to help pave the way for the Second Coming.

I was fascinated to talk to Lance Wallnau, a respected Charismatic minister, who believes that God is raising up Donald Trump in the same way the he raised up Cyrus in Isaiah 45:4-5.

I don't know what you think a "good Muslim" is, but here is a list of all of the muslim countires that have good relations with the USA:
From Juan Cole's interview with Harper Magazine's Browsings blog:

"Turkey is a NATO ally, and Washington has designated Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait and Pakistan as non-NATO allies. Other governments of Muslim-majority countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen have offered the U.S. intelligence, security, and/or military cooperation of a high order. Aside from Europe, there is probably no other culture area on the globe where the United States has as many formal and informal allies. The only countries the United States has relatively severe differences with among nearly fifty Muslim-majority states are Syria, Iran, and the Sudan, and that sort of thing changes over time."

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

You just praised Trump for recognizing Islam is a problem. If we are only concerned with America and the American people, then you shouldn't give a shit about the Islam angle. Islamic terrorism isn't even in the top 100 things that affect Americans. I'm not sure it cracks the top 1000. It's a bunch of fear mongering bullshit made easy by the Information Age.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

If you are still convinced that these nations are our allies, then tell me what influence a good Muslim can have.
