Trump is too far out there … for the leader of the American Nazi Party.
I find it hilarious that you think anti-Catholicism would be even remotely relevant in American politics in 2016 especially considering much of Trump’s political base in the Northeast and Midwest are angry lower-middle class/working-class “Reagan Democrat” Catholics.
Actually Trump’s supporters among Republican primary voters are distinctly of the ones who are unchurched or the less faithful-the ones who are more concerned with immigration then with the directly religion-related issues of gays or abortion.
That all may be… but there are still plenty of Southern evangelicals, distrustful of Catholics (and Mormons). Obviously Republicans can win primaries with tepid support there, but not generals, I think.
Right - different dogwhistles for different folk. Otherwise why combine pointing out Cruz is half-Cuban with questioning his evangelical bona fides.
Most of the committed evangelical vote (especially those who actually care enough to see Catholics and Mormons as heretics) aren’t voting for Trump in the first place and Trump is not running to win their support-which is why he barely talks abortion and gay marriage.
Because he was joking about Cruz’s oddity.
Oh aye? Please elaborate.
Considering the creature is a member of the royal clan of Saudi Arabia, which in turn practices the most reactionary and brutal form of State Islam where homosexuals, adulterers, apostates, and others are regularly beheaded and hundreds of thousands of South Asians work in slave labour conditions to build their ostentatious and gaudy architectural projects while these degenerate parasites live lives of sybaritic luxury-these abominations in human form who should have exterminated in the days of Washington and Robespierre much less now-yes I’d take Citizen Trump any day of the week.
Trump isn’t Islamic, and may have no great problem with adultery or apostasy. Otherwise, that describes his context pretty well. He’s recently shown a similar enthusiasm for executions, for example.
“Ostentatious and gaudy architectural projects while these degenerate parasites live lives of sybaritic luxury”… you meant to do that, right?
Seriously?
Erhm no. A scion of the ruling family of an absolute theocratic monarchy and a billionaire right-wing populist politician don’t belong in the same century even. Even opponents of the death penalty should realize the difference between executing murderers (as far I know Trump hasn’t even say urged imposing the death penalty on child molesters or rapists) and executing people for blashphemy or homosexuality.
You left out the slave labour part.
Yes-in any battle between absolute despotism and republicanism, the answer is clear.
I do find it amusing that suddenly its become a controversial thing to assert that on the balance that Donald Trump is a better person than a member of the Saudi royal family.
I am with you there.
I’ll stipulate that many of the super-rich on the Arabian peninsula are despicable people, often exploiting sex slaves, etc. But do you have charges against Alwaleed bin Talal specifically? I’d guess that just the opposite may be the case, that he indulges his libido by making money rather than abusing women. (And note that he plans to donate his huge fortune to charity, with “empowering women” one of the goals.)
I mean he is a member of Saudi royal family, which excepting possibly the SS and the NKVD comes as close as a “criminal organization” as you can get. Certainly he’s never spoken out against the root causes of the evils in his country with occasional monetary gestures of atonement to satisfy appearance’s sake for his Western plutocratic business partners.
Trump comes from a better country, so he hasn’t had the opportunity to act quite the same ways. I see no evidence that there is anything, anything at all, to commend in his own person.
(researching)
Oh, so the Copts leave something behind these days. It pays to research! :eek:
Trump has yet to hold the level of power and authority over a country that the Saudi royal family has, so we do not know what he he would do with such power and authority. You cannot say that he is better. At best, you can say that he is weaker.
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia, who would be better off in a “less advanced court,” was condemned for racism by moderate Presidential candidate Donald Trump:
[QUOTE=Reuters]
[Justice Scalia] suggested during a hearing last week that some blacks and Hispanics are not strong enough candidates to be admitted purely on academic criteria and might be better off attending “slower-track” schools where they can prosper.
“I thought his remarks were very, very tough. I think they were very, very tough to the African American community actually. I don’t like what he said, no,” Trump said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program.

Are all of Cheney’s distant cousins guilty of war crimes if they don’t speak out against him?
Heck, I have a cousin who posts right-wing idiocies on Facebook and I don’t even speak out against him.
