You are done, Mr. Trump. No argument. Thus far, the Republican party has been willing to put up with your minor — what shall we call them? Shortcomings? Indiscretions? Many of your supporters even applaud you for “telling it like it is,” and “saying what everyone thinks but is afraid to say.”
You know, your traditional American values of contempt for blacks, Hispanics, women, Muslims, disabled and overweight people; your inciting violence, your purposely undermining confidence in our elections, your trying to intimidate voters by sending goons to “watch” polling places.
I’m even afraid to put up a Hillary sign in the yard here in New Hampshire, lest I attract a rock or a bullet through my window.
But now you’ve gone too far, Mr. Trump. You’ve said the “P” word, and Republicans didn’t know you were like that. They are shocked, just shocked!
News Flash: It’s Who He Is
Your non-apology points out that you said the “P” word ten years ago when you were young and less mature, a mere sixty years old. And besides, former President Clinton has said and done bad things, too (and, by the way, was impeached for them). And furthermore you claim, “Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am.”
Right, we’ll just leave that there with the pile of rape accusations and sexual harassment lawsuits waiting in the back room.
It’s not flying anymore. It’s over. You’re done. Now it’s all about damage control for that Grand Old Party that chose to focus on hate and fear and division a few decades ago and is paying the price today.
Your Friends are Bailing
Everyone is bailing on you now. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan doesn’t want to stand on the same stage with you. Ouch. In the bright red state of Utah, there’s a total insurrection, a senator calling for you to step down, and a GOP candidate running specifically on the platform of deadlocking the electoral college and getting rid of you.
Your Vice Presidential candidate is pretending you don’t exist: he’s perfected the “kindly old grandfather who is deaf when he wants to be” act and pretends he isn’t drowning in your cesspool. (Psssst — I think he’s after your job, Donald.)
Even your buds over at FOX News call your comments “crude” and “lewd.” After all, Roger Ailes has set the standard there, and . . . oh, never mind.
Pharisee: A Self-Righteous Person; A Hypocrite
At least you still have the right-wing evangelicals. Because, you know, God is a guy, and if God didn’t intend men to grope women, then why did He give men hands to begin with?
No, seriously, I can see where these evangelicals are coming from. The Family Research Council (FRC) says their support for you was never based on shared values anyway.
WHAT???? WHAT??? The “family values” lobbyists don’t care about values??
Sure enough, the “Christian public policy ministry” FRC website says that Trump demonstrates “an understanding of the importance of values voters in the general election” and has “a desire to work with them.” It never says he shares their values.
Wonder why people are leaving the Christian church, FRC? Look in the mirror.
FRC was busy yesterday promoting #BringYourBibleToSchool day, so perhaps they didn’t have time to carefully review the P-word video. I suggest they take a listen. Also, #ReadYourBible.
No argument.

** I know that this post will lose me some of my Christian followers. That makes me sad, but it’s inevitable. Still, please, please, in this election and every day, ask yourself that over-used but profound question: What would Jesus do?

I sincerely hope you are right.

Such a hard election ahead. 😦 Hillary is no better, she has committed murder and treason, lied under oath because she is a compulsive liar.They are both just awful options.
Oct 08, 2016 @ 12:27:41
“Wrong, wrong,” as Trump would say. I’m not a huge Hillary fan because she’s too hawkish for me. Big on military. But murder and treason? Um, no. None of the myriad politically driven investigations have turned up anything. Comparing Hillary to Trump is like comparing a muddied stream to an overflowing septic tank. This election can’t be over soon enough.

There is many who would disagree. Just because certain ‘powers that be’ chose not to prosecute her for the Benghazi deaths and the top secret email “leaks” doesn’t mean she didn’t do them.
Oct 08, 2016 @ 12:52:59
The “powers that be” are our judicial system and federal law enforcement agencies. They are the ones who know the law, have the resources to do the investigations, and the charge from our nation to pursue these issues. Millions in taxpayer dollars were wasted on a “witch hunt” that turned up nothing. Yup, she was not wise in her handling of her email account. No wiser than General Colin Powell. And she apologized and said she would not do that again. There’s no “there, there.”
Oct 08, 2016 @ 13:14:27
Well, if she’s sorry and won’t do that again…
Oct 08, 2016 @ 13:21:50
So she has said. About her emails. Benghazi? Terribly sad, and nothing she could have prevented. So said all the reports.
Oct 08, 2016 @ 12:15:02
You are on fire girl. Yes!!! If he would manage to steal the election I think I will chain myself to the White House fence till I die in protest. So awful it’s hard to contain it all. See you soon.

I am so utterly disgusted by that man. I cannot find the adjectives, and ought not to put them in print anyway. Just vile. How any woman or any Christian could vote for him is beyond me.
