      I wish we had two better people running. I don’t see Trump as a “Republican”. He’s his own beast. I know people from all parties who jumped on his bandwagon.

      I’m not overly thrilled with the current Republicans but I’m hoping the next generation will get us back on track. I want to see less religion in the party, less social conservatism and pro-business but not a slave to companies.

      We already see the next generation of republicans as less socially conservative and more pro environment.

        Hmm it’s an interesting use of the words “social conservatism” to describe people who would vote for someone with 91 criminal charges.

          Most those charges are banana republic crap. They are attacks on his politics. That’s how scared the democrats are of Trump.

          Social conservatives are more focused two adult males having sex than the trumped up charges.

          I don’t care if two men have sex as long as I don’t have to see it. I believe the government should stay out of things that are not harmful.

            Well it just goes to show the hypocrisy of evangelical and socially conservative voters. Jesus never said anything about gay people but there is a direct quote from Jesus in the book of Matthew about divorce. Trump is on his third wife and was unfaithful at least once if news reports are to be believed.

            What a choice: The old and confused current president hands out bombs with one hand and humanitarian aid with the other. The other option is a rapist and criminal up to his eyeballs in debt for his misdeeds. These are symptoms of a system that is breaking down.

              Trump has never been convicted of rape. Liberals keep repeating that but it’s a a libelous comment to make. Trump has never been charged with rape

                “Trump is a convicted rapist” and “Trump is a rapist” are not the same.

                He wasn’t convicted due to the statute of limitations (~12 years for rape). We don’t need to have a conviction to know he is a rapist.

                So quit the bullshit.

                My mistake. I suppose if you asked most Americans if they would vote for a rapist, they’d give you a resounding No.

                But what if you ask them, would you vote for a sexually abusive forced digital penetrator? One with a reputation for walking into beauty pageant dressing rooms and dozens of accusations of sexual impropriety going back for years? It seems many Americans would say Yes, uwu!

                  No, he is not a rapist, as he never had sex with that woman, but either way, rape is a crime, and he was not convicted of a crime.

                  Maybe you should read the difference between civil court and criminal court.

                  It is funny to see the liberals use the terms all wrong while being so confident. Trump was never charged with a crime. It was a civil claim that was hog wash.

                Simping over trump. I wonder how you people will look back in this in 10 or 15 years.

                  Facts are not simping. Trump has not been convicted or even charged with rape.

                  Why do you hate facts? It’s strange how the left lies then thinks if they repeat them lie, someone will believe them.

                    You don’t need to be convicted in a court to be a rapist, nor to be called a rapist. Convicted in a court requires the highest burden of proof. That’s not the level of proof we require for general discussions, nor is it for who should or shouldn’t be a candidate for president.
