Deranged Rhino Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Trump press pool in the Oval right now re Apollo anniversary turned to questions about the rally chant -- I wish I had a pic right now, because the way Melania is standing/looking is interesting. She looks pissed and is standing with a clenched fist -- until she started talking, then all smiles. (she hates the media) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant there was i am continually astounded at the support Trump has from Evangelicals and those who preach family values, and yet endorse a guy who was displayed anything but family values. And just to clear, i see nothing wrong with Trump banging a porn star or bedding as many women as he has( as long as none were sexual assault)..my only problem is he was married while doing it. And lord knows i am not saying politicians, or for that matter, anyone , outside of Trump do not stray..just that i am surprised the far right family values crowd continue to have his back. Understood. I think that part of it is that Evangelicals and those who are religious are not endorsing him for his family values...many see the stances of the party and side with that (whether its abortion, same sex marriage, etc). The days of Jimmy Stewart are non existent in politics for as long as I've been alive. And like you say, politicians in general are not generally good role models for marriages, so the religious look to other areas to gravitate to.

This was discussed a lot during the primaries & the general election, and the answer always came back to Trump being a vessel of frustration for the deplorables.

BeginnersMind Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 6 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: This is not complicated if you’d simply pay attention, instead of immediately jumping to the CNN talking points. Trump suggested that SHE should CHOOSE to go back home if she doesn’t like it her. The crowd said THEY should SEND her back. There’s a huge difference. Or don’t you believe in a ‘woman’s right to choose’? ? Actually he said that they came from other countries. Not just her. Then he told them them to go back home. His wife and kid already took him to the woodshed. That statement is as much as you can expect. We will see what happens at future rallies. I expect I could predict what he will say word for word. “You know *they* don’t like it when you do that chant. They are very mean to me But we have to be nice to them...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off I addressed the “I think” by referring to how to feel. Second. How is he framing the discussion regarding blacks? And here’s the real interesting part. You think he is doing the whole border thing because of “brown people” whereas I think he’s doing it because they are ILLEGAL and there are bad people coming in. Again people on the left (and I think you’re more left of center) see color. We on the right, for the most part, see ideologies and situations. And finally. Let me ask you Paul, do you think there are bad people coming across our southern border? 25 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: I did not see this earlier, but as I have said, go back to where exactly?

If if you want to defend what he said as having no racist undertones, it’s a stretch, but at least stick to that. But if you do, you can’t redeem him by defending his statement as accurate because it’s not. Ivanka and Melania got to him and we got the softest backpeddle. That’s about all we will see.
