he is the darling of religious conservatives and evangelicals

That fits a commonly expressed stereotype, but itā€™s actually not true. The evangelical movement has by and large repudiated Trump for his bigotry. I commented more about that here. Iā€™d also like to mention that church groups in Georgia have taken the lead in helping Syrian refugees find homes, settle, and get off to a good start.

Much of what Trump has done is vile, perverted and creepy by any standard. Despite all of what Trump has done, he continues to have healthy leads in evangelical and religious conservative strongholds.

Iā€™m betting on 100%

Maybe 10% (because Iā€™m sure there are exceptions), but evangelicals have been outspoken in repudiating Trumpā€™s bigotry.

Yeah, itā€™s so draining to have to lie all the time.

Fuck them one, fuck them all. Not one inch of daylight should be allowed between any Republican and their nominee. Their very existence makes everything Rump stands for, if anything, more likely to happen. So either resign, retire, switch parties, or support Donald Trump.

Iā€™m disappointed. I was expecting at least one of them to blame it on the micā€¦

Donald Trump, the Bill Cosby of politiciansā€¦

The folks defending this with deflection should be ashamed of themselves. Even if you assume some of their premises, Ted Kennedy was not running for president and W.'s wife killed someone. It is stupid comparisons

And making allegations about Bill has no barring on anything. Even if we assume this nonsense they spout is true, I doubt all of it, it does not exonerate Trump.

I got into the car tonight to drive somewhere and turned the radio to Hannity with 8 pints of sangfroid coursing through my veins. I couldnā€™t wait to hear how he was going to spin this one. You know what? He didnā€™t touch it at all. He took callers from the hurricane zone and cool aid drinkers praising Trump for his business acumen and for not paying taxes. No mention of the tape or Trump talking about grabbing women by the Hannity.

The really sad thing is it took this for a few more Republicans to realize Trump might not be a good person for president.

I think all the conservatives who support Trump should let him take their daughters to buy furnitureā€¦

Skittles and Tic-Tacs are Trump candy favorites and it isnā€™t Halloween, yet. Anyways, Evangelicals must be proud of themselves. Hey, how about Utah Mormons?
