Don't be too hard on them. Most people who call themselves Christian don't know much about Jesus or understand what it means to follow Him.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Hahahahahahahahhahaha, ROFLOL, hahahhahhahahahahaha . . .

You have been duped by Don "The Criminal Con" Trump. Trump ran on a "Me First" platform. get your facts straight, fool.

Something recently posted about Hannity the welfare queen. Trump has been at it since day one. His first projects in Manhattan were realized at the cost of taxpeyers, $170M and $70M tax breaks in his first two alone. Has been swindling the little guy for decades... yeah sure he changed now.

U.S. District Judge John D. Bates (Bush court appointee] called the government’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program “virtually unexplained” and therefore “unlawful.”

Both of you aren't quite right.

Evangelicals can be liberals. I know several. Christians can be conservative or liberal.

Christian Right are NOT liberal, and not all of them are Evangelicals.

Evangelical simply means you spread the word of God. That word is misused all the time to mean conservative Christians, but it does not mean that.

I started this using the term evangelicals for a reason.

There are over 100 million christians in the US.

It is the majority belief.

Evangelicals are a minority and they judge others based on their morality.

They lean way right but can't protest someone like Obama even if they don't vote for him.

Sure, they can protest Bill Clinton. That makes sense.

But why do they back Trump?

The Evangelicals who do that do so because they are hypocrites, and they are one- or two- issue voters (guns and abortion). But, again, to be clear, not all Evangelicals are judgmental or conservative or Trump supporters. I know some VERY liberal Evangelicals.

You are correct, and I always do forgive people for being stupid. Being judgmental based on that stupidity though is a tougher thing to forgive.

Jesus was a liberal.

Info for Racket...

It appears now that once collusion with Russia is proven, Mueller MIGHT go with a bribery charge rather than a conspiracy charge.

Needs to be clear, that the ultimate charge doesn't matter. I am not a lawyer and do not know all the possible ways Trump or his campaign could be charged, but the main point is that if there is an coordination (collusion) with Russia by Trump or his campaign or advisers, I will be right about the 2016 election.

So, following the inevitable collusion, the charge could be one or both of (or possibility something else I am not familiar with):

Conspiracy

Bribery

The bribe would be along the lines of, we (Russia) give dirt on Hillary and release emails, and you (Trump and Trump Administration) will relieve sanctions on us. That is collusion that manifests as a Bribery charge...giving something of value in return for something else of value.

Just trying to be clear here.

I said evangelicals, not Christians.

Evangelicals hold the moral high ground on marital relations and support candidates based on this view.

So, I don't expect them to support Bill Clinton.

But why do they support Trump?

I think you are arguing semantics here. I put evangelicals & Christians in the same category. Perhaps you should just call it the "Religious Right," if that's the correct term.

Perhaps I can enlighten everyone on the true meaning of the word "evangelical". Evangelicals and Christians are certainly NOT in the same category.

For many decades the term "evangelical" has referred to a Christian who puts a strong emphasis on evangelism. That is, we believe in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ as commanded in Matthew 28:16-20. Evangelism is all about proclaiming the love of Jesus.

But today, "evangelical" has been adopted by the press as a political term that has nothing to do with evangelism or even Christianity. Evangelicals are now defined more by who the hate than who they love. This fits in with Trump's message perfectly.

Today's "evangelicals" are only Christian in a worldly, cultural sense. They hate the same people Trump hates. So it's obvious why they would support Trump.

Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine AM?

CORRECT!

What if it is determined unequivocally that whatever leverage or assistance Russia had did not alter the outcome of the 2016 election?

No one can say that either one way or the other, so the test has to be whether there was coordinated cheating...and again, I set this as a criteria for me being right about the 2016 election before the election.

It’s not possible to find conclusive evidence their actions DID NOT alter the elections. Trump hates it more than anything because deep down he knows his “win” was assisted.

Trump wants to kill the Iran deal so badly. We are going to send a clear message to Iran that they need to go back to enriching uranium to build a bomb in self defense. We are going send another message after that. Many in Trump’s political circle have been openly suggesting we sell nuclear weapon materials to the Saudis. So not only are we going to kill a deal that has added to stability in the region, we are going to force the hand of the Iranians by empowering the Saudis. That is also going to upset the order even more regarding Israel’s security. Sounds like a great plan right?

Oh, dear. The singular is "criterion"--"a criterion for [my] being right"--and the plural is "criteria."

Tsk, tsk.

Market down again. Thanks Donny!

This is what has attracted Trump to politics, not some urge to serve the country and make it better. For decades he's befriended rich oligarchs and Washington insiders who have been making an easy buck off the back of hard working people. He's wanted in for so long and now he's there!

Kinda like what attracted Obama to politics, power. Republicans to the back of the bus.

Kinda like what attracted Bill and Hillary to politics, power. I have never knowingly lied to the American People. Mrs. Clinton, come on. No, I've never knowingly lied to the American People.

Trade Deal, the Gold Standard. Running for Office, I'm against it, but I've been very consistent.

You Democrats voted for her and she was no different, either was Obama.

9:28 in the video above, hilarious!!!! Yeah, she's a great politician!

I'm only going to track and hold you responsible for your claims of Mueller coming and the clown being done. There are too many variables for the 2016 election, your criteria doesn't seem as well defined, and it's close to two years in the past now.

I would caution you in general though in giving credit to the Russians for the election outcome if collusion is found. The American public, not Russia, proved themselves to be capable of a hatred and stupidity that most thought impossible. Americans we're primed and gullible enough to believe any stupid fake news their racist aunt shared on Facebook.
