sums up my feelings about Trump
Matt Walsh on FB...don't know him, but I agree with him
Trump won South Carolina, a supposedly conservative Christian state, by a wide margin tonight.
A few quick reactions:
- Don't rationalize this. He didn't win because of Democrats. The man won Evangelicals. The man who -- JUST THIS WEEK -- praised Planned Parenthood, and who fishes for applause lines by cussing out his competitors and mocking disabled people, and who can't name a book in the Bible, and who said he doesn't need forgiveness from God, and who brags about sleeping with married women, and who said he'd love to date his own daughter because she has a hot body, and who supported the murder of fully developed infant children, and who blatantly lies and then lies again about lying, and who has encapsulated literally the exact opposite of anything that could remotely be considered a "Christian value," won with the indispensable assistance of Christians. The anger I feel towards those Christians in this moment cannot be put into words. They should be ashamed. I will pray for them.
- Speaking of winning conservatives, Trump -- JUST THIS WEEK -- said he likes the Obamacare mandate. This was, according to conservatives, the most important thing to defeat not but two years ago. Now some of those same conservatives are voting for a big government liberal who says he supports the very thing these very people were sure would undo the Republic just a few months ago.
- If Trump wins the nomination, conservatism in this country is officially dead, and the country itself will be close behind it.
- Speaking of the country's demise, Trump fans are gleefully ushering in tyranny. I am tired of hearing about their "anger." They claim they are angry at the very thing they now embrace. They aren't angry. They're bored. They're immature. They're infatuated with celebrity and fame and money. They aren't angry. I'm angry about what they are doing to my nation. The rest of us can be angry, but these people have lost the right to have their anger taken seriously.
- I don't want to hear about second place consolation prizes. If Cruz or Rubio can't win South Carolina, it may be time to panic. I'm sorry, but it's true. Deal with the reality, folks.
- According to exit polls, Trump fans don't necessarily think he's electable and they don't believe he shares their values, but "they want change." Dear God, we are really doing 2008 all over again. People voting for ambiguous, non-specific change in spite of the avalanche of red flags. We are really doing this again. I am so disgusted at the stupidity in this country.
- Bush should be commended for dropping out. He's an honorable and decent man, although I didn't support him. The others in the bottom tier, should they stay in, will be doing potentially irreparable harm to this country and my children's future. And that is something I will struggle to forgive.
- Get on your knees and pray for this country tonight. Right now. I feel we are on the cusp of something terrible. Pray we avoid it.

is this guy linked at the trunk to Hannity or Beck?
I have no idea, even if so that doesn't make his views any less valid. As far as I am concerned, folks like Falwell Jr should be ashamed for not standing up for their faith, and endorsing someone that endorses ideas counter to their religious values.
My main concern who he will pick for a supreme court justice we can't afford a moderate judge now. I think either Cruz or Rubio will do a better job of selecting
He will pick a liberal, he is vehemently pro-abortion. What is the likelihood of a pro-abortion, pro-gun control judge??? Very high. NY values have their consequences.
Others will get the go ahead to go for the gold. Then no matter who gets it. Count on "more of the same"[B)]
He is doing what many extremely wealthy people do when they have attained almost everything, and become bored....he is seeking pure power in the form of the most powerful political office on the face of the planet.
Trump has hauled them in hook, line, and sinker. His 'peeps' actually think his purpose is to 'Make America great again."

I agree, Mark, and well-stated. Trump is a master salesman and utilizes his well-honed skills to mesmerize his followers.

I see a chance of 3 appointments in the next 4 years and the best I see from Trump is a John Roberts and that is stretching it
