Russell Moore, President of the Southern Baptist Convention Ethics Commission, remarked that his Uber driver, an evangelical, said to him that he (the driver) thought Mr. Trump may be the Anti-Christ, he was going to caucus for him anyway. Say what?!? (Mr. Moore just stated this on a news program so I can't cite it here as it's not posted on the program's site yet.)
Now I know I'm not much of a "Bible thumper," but there's no way I'd caucus for, vote for, or give the time of day to someone whom I think is the Anti-Christ !!!
Truly, I don't know what I find most disturbing:
None of those things strike me as boding well for the U.S. I may have to move to Monaco, Luxembourg, or someplace else having fewer outright loons and unprincipled individuals. That's among the last things I'd want to do, but at some point, one has to realize that one can only endure "so much" stupidity among one's countrymen.
- That there are people who actually think and act with the same rational incongruity (re: any topics) as that driver,
- That there are people who think and act with the same rational incongruity (re: any topic) as that driver and there are enough of them to make Mr. Trump's candidacy viable.
- That Mr. Trump is playing to that sort of lunacy as his way to the Presidency.
Well actually, consider if you will the fact that you Liberals support an old Socialist who's platform is one which America cannot afford and is dead on arrival with a Republican Congress while your other candidate is a chronic liar and totally untrustworthy in the eyes of most Americans and is currently under F.B.I. Investigation as well. It would appear to me that you Liberals are not the most intelligent people in the world either.
Did you understand the OP to which you replied? Being too stupid to see the incongruity of the Uber driver's remarks has nothing to do with any candidate. It everything to do with his inadequate cognitive ability, and somewhat to do with my tacitly proposing that a lot of Trump supporters in general have a similar "mental miniscularity" and paucity of principle-driven behavior.
I asked the question I did at the start of this post, because your comments imply that I suggested that the sole alternatives to Mr. Trump are one of the Democratic candidates. It may have escaped your purview, but Mr. Trump isn't the only Republican candidate and I wrote nothing suggesting that one should choose Mr. Sanders or Mrs. Clinton.
Can Donald Trump Lead A Conservative Movement He Barely Understands?
Actually, I understand perfectly. A disguised hit piece on Mr. Trump while calling his supporters stupid. It's been done time and again. You fool no one but yourself.
Clearly you don't understand the OP. It's a hit on Mr. Trump's supporters, one that's not even thinly veiled. It's not a dig at Mr. Trump at all.
And my response was a hit on both the supporters of Sanders and the supporters of Clinton. They are all stupid.
