Yeah, his business acumen falls in the same category as the Atlantic City casinos. Not impressive.

I remember when he bought the Eastern Airlines shuttle. He was going to run it like a “diamond’ the Trumpt Shuttle. He ran it into the ground. When I think of Trump business ability, I think sleaze.

Is it one or the other to you? A jerk, or a nice liar?

In the north or the south, your objection to my comment is still called a strawman.

“When I think of Trump business ability, I think sleaze.”

As opposed to Hillary Clinton, for example?

I hope Trump wins because I do not want Hillary. Evangelicals can vote for whatever loser they want who won’t be able to give them a preacher for POTUS. Which is okay as long as that person can win the general election.

I think many of them like Obama and Hillary because it gives them some misery to gripe about.

We have run out of time to play games.

I have no idea what you are talking about. The only thing I hate is sin.

The problem with Trump is that he doesn't engage his brain before he opens his mouth.

Simon Peter had this exact same problem. Guess what? Jesus Himself made Simon Peter His first-round draft pick.

Do you understand?

Jesus picked deeply flawed men -- which is the only choice He had because no one other than Him is perfect -- to carry out His will.

And they performed admirably and effectively.

Without doing a head count, it looked to me at the time you posted this, there were more Trump SUPPORTERS than “haters” who had posted. But I guess facts don’t matter when there are pictures to post and names to call.

Well, no and no.

Trump and Simon Peter are spiritual opposites.

Peter was hot for the faith, too hot at times, leading to some embarrassments for him.

Trump is hot for Trump.

He has publicly said that he is too nice of a guy to go to hell, while stating in the same event that he has no need to confess his sins.

Finally, Yeshua picked John as his #1 apostle, and gave him the job of writing the three most important pieces of the New Testament.

What do you suppose Trump might contribute? Throwing the country under Antichrist?

Well for some of us, forsaking God is what put the nation on the brink to start with.

Some of you are getting ridiculous. Being wary of Trump does not equate to supporting Obama. Although I would indeed be disappointed with any evangelical Christians who bought in to Obama.
