There were something like 17 REPUBLICANS running at the beginning of this Primary season.

Only ONE REPUBLICAN made immigration and border security his top issue, DESPITE the Republican base being livid at the policies of both parties on the subject.

So how about you (the author) ask the other 16 why they didn’t feel immigration and border security were important issues, while you’re at it. It is THEIR FAULT. Any of them who would have addressed the issue like Trump, and with credibility, would have DEFEATED TRUMP.

It is too late now - you should have been asking Rove A YEAR AGO what the hell he was doing by demanding that immigration and border security were OFF LIMITS to Republicans that wanted party support. But you did not.

Trump can speak without a Teleprompter though.

Obama without one: uh..um..uh..uh..ummmm...uh.

...and by the way, YOU ARE NOT FOOLING US by sticking a few proverbs in between left-wing and GOPe talking points about Trump.

WE ARE NOT THAT DUMB.

He was baptized in the Presbyterian Church by an ordained preacher. By that he is a Christian, unless he later denied it. He IS a Christian.

First of all I would like it if someone could tell me just what is an Evangelical and what makes them so all knowing.

I know myself, my life and who I am. I know the many reasons that I support Trump. I laugh when the pundits tell me why I support Trump. They aren’t anywhere close. All they do is project their rationales and opinions onto me.

I am impressed with Trump’s accuracy in defining problems and solutions. Problem for him(and us) is that inspite of having the right solutions, everything is politically incorrect, according to the geniuses of our times.

We are living in dangerous times, were so many governments are pushing burdensome policies on their citizens. Policies good for the people in power, but not for the citizens.

Everyday we learn of new geopolitical dangers, a lot of them can be traced back to Obama’s policies and agenda.

If we make a mistake this time, the price we pay could be high. Were citizens votes will be irrelevant and things will be decided for us, whether they are good are not.

Right now one of those things is sanctuary cities. Trump did us all a huge favor by shining the spotlight on them.

Throw the election to the Democrats because the Republican candidate didn’t meet your lofty ideals! That got us 8 years of Obama! You want 8 years of Hillary?

If Jeb! were leading in the polls, would you be singin' that same tune??

People who know him say he's quite a bit different one-on-one.

They say he's a listener, that he's self-deprecating and humble.

When he's at the podium, he's making a sales pitch.

As a follow-up to my comment, here is what Dee Snider of Twisted Sister had to say about Trump:
Interviewer to Dee: Did the show [Apprentice] change your perception of Donald Trump as a person?

Snider: Totally. This may be an image killer for him, but every person in the cast will tell you that he is gracious, welcoming, considerate and self-deprecating. He jokes about his hair and his assets when the camera is off. He has his persona, but it definitely changed my opinion of him.

You mean pre primary season, don't you? The primaries don't start until February 1st with Iowa having it's Caucus

Yes immigration is important but so are other issues. like the terrorists for example, or the economy, abortion etc

I guess it’s definitions. Other issues don’t matter when were’re on the cusp of legalizing and then quickly giving voting rights to roughly 30,000,000 new Democrats. You have to put out the fire before you worry about cleaning the toilets.

Yet there's something that concerns me even more when it comes to evangelicals supporting Donald Trump and that is the issue of pride, the sin that is often at the root of a host of other sins (Isaiah 14:11-15), the sin which God resists (James 4:6), the sin which leads to destruction (Proverbs 16:18).

Now is not a good time for a president who is meek,humble, and has humility. We are up against overwhelming evil.A weak president is the attitude which would end in destruction and disaster.

Yes, absolutely. All evangelicals should vote in lock step because Mr. Brown says so.

Do you know why Donald Trump represents the ONLY viable candidate “evangelical” Christians SHOULD support?

God uses flawed men! Yes, he just doesn’t use “holy” men. There is only one perfect man, and He is now with the Father in heaven. God chooses any man, regardless of his flaws to further His Will as He sees fit.

This is not about the Right vs. the Left. This is about the Elites on BOTH “sides” vs. the rest of us “vulgarians”. The elite political infrastructure has been feeding off of us, the middle class, for so long. They laugh, they mock us for our naivete, and how easy it is for them to distract us, to “manage” us, all the while, BOTH “sides” enrich themselves. It matters not which “side” wins, the elites all win by continuing their system. That’s why the GOPe would rather support Globalist Hillary than a patriotic, nationalist populist.

Until the masses realize this, it’s a “game as usual” strategy for them. Just look at who they freak out at the most, that is who they feel threatens their system the most: the politicians, Hollywood, the media, etc. It’s all 1 system.

ALL of the other candidates are weak and bought. I don’t care how passionate they appear, how convincing they sound. They will succumb, every one. Remember “Read My Lips”? What a joke. They are very clever at pretending to be for us. And none of others have the expertise, savvy, power, and contacts that Trump has.

Donald Trump represents the ONLY hope we have to counter the depth and breadth of this evil, with GOD as his guide, whether Trump realizes it or not. He is strong, and good at heart. He is likable and pure genius at doing what needs to be done.

The only question I wonder about is if God will allow the evil to prevail or not. God knows, as a nation, we do NOT deserve His Blessing as we do not, as a nation, honor Him. We can but pray for His Mercy!

You mean like when Jesus, jokingly, referred to the Samarian woman at the well as a "dog?"

Or when He called the most religious men of the day "vipers" and said "You are of your father the devil?"

Mr. Brown needs to meet Jesus.
