Well Thank you Sir! And let me say, it's good to see that you haven't abandoned the one thing that some on here have, that being common sense. Future President Trump has used the common sense approach in this election, and that is why he is the presumptive nominee for the Republican party. Republican's that scream they won't vote for Trump are in the same boat as the George Clooney's and Angelina Jolie's of the world. That lack of common sense and being out of touch is exactly why the Rep party has been such a failure in recent years.

Now, as for the topic at hand. Unlike the unpredictability of this entire election, I see Mr. Trump picking an insider as many predict. I actually like the idea of Jeff Sessions just for the fact that it pisses off Bill Kristol and his clan. I mean they did call Sen. Sessions a prostitute. LOL. Until proven otherwise, i will trust that Trump will make the right pick. I'm more interested in his SCOTUS list. Everyone have a pleasant day and try not to get your feathers ruffled, after all, we are all pawns in this game of life :biggrin:

Very true and so fundamentally on point that it would likely for the most part, be overlooked by most people. After the Romney loss all the Dems took to the housetops to crow about the Republican Party's perceived demise. I wasn't quite ready to buy that, but Republican elites became immediate and true converts to the cause and have remained so even in the face of having retaken the House and the Senate. Common sense to me, would dictate we not make regulations and pass legislational carve outs favoring folks based on things like race, gender identification or sexual preference.

Conservative talk show hosts, prominent media and establishment bosses which represent the avant guarde have not a clue what they've been talking about this election cycle either. They all thought Marco Rubio would be the poster boy answer to the 'old rich white man' stigma, and they were as off base about that as they are the true meaning of conservatism. They act like all they'd settle for is an evangelical and the object of Eric Erickson and Rich Lowry's own hearts. The truth is that Jimmy Carter was THE first 'born again' Christian ever to occupy the Oval Office, and to my knowledge, he was the last. But that's not to say that Ike, Reagan and to some extent the two Bush's were not open about their faith. Still, it's anybody's guess where all this righteous indignation is supposed to be coming from, it certainly is not any kind of established norm according to the record. I've not heard it brought up by Republicans of the past as a must have, to become the nominee.

I'm all for it, obviously. And yet I am certain I heard Obama at least once, refer to his "Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." I mean, what did these guys have in mind to use to validate the standard?
