Very accurate observation.
The leftist media can't help themselves.
Also had no idea Vance used to be a #NeverTrumperDidn't know this, thought his wife was AA
People can change their minds. I was going to vote for Johnson the independent in 2016 but I've voted for Trump in the last 2 elections and will for a 3rd time.Also had no idea Vance used to be a #NeverTrumper
Fascinating
Oh I’m not criticizing it or think it’s a bad thing. I think the smartest, most thoughtful people do change their minds over time.People can change their minds. I was going to vote for Johnson the independent in 2016 but I've voted for Trump in the last 2 elections and will for a 3rd time.
#Trump/Vance2024
Rubio would have been the better pick politically speaking.I still think it’s Vance but hoping for Rubio
I actually voted Rubio in the 2016 primaries. I was hoping for himRubio would have been the better pick politically speaking.
When I was a Republican, I was a supporter of Rubio. Both him and I have changed a lot since then though. He would have been a better pick than Vance though.
I still think Trump is going to lose in November. The question is how close will it be at the end of the day. I think with President Biden as the nominee, the election will be closer than it has to be.I think Trump will have a cakewalk to the White House, and a very rocky road once he gets there.
Same.I actually voted Rubio in the 2016 primaries. I was hoping for him
Not the best pick Trump could have made politically. With that said, I'm not surprised at all that Trump made this pick.CNN now saying it’s JD Vance
Our country would be a lot different today if Rubio had been the nominee in 2016 instead of Trump.I actually voted Rubio in the 2016 primaries. I was hoping for him
It is going to be very interesting to see what Trump says and the tone he sets in his convention speech. If he strikes a more calming uniting tone, the question will then be how long he sticks to such a message.
Telling the truth is disgusting behavior. Yea I can see that from a leftist.It is going to be very interesting to see what Trump says and the tone he sets in his convention speech. If he strikes a more calming uniting tone, the question will then be how long he sticks to such a message.
Selecting Vance though doesn't seem to indicate any desire on the part of Trump's campaign to "calm the rhetoric" since Vance's comments right after the assassination attempt were disgusting and uncalled for.
Vance didn't tell the truth. He tried to score political points with his own political base at a very sensitive time in our nation's history.Telling the truth is disgusting behavior. Yea I can see that from a leftist.
On some issues, Vance is worse (i.e further right) than TrumpHere we go, "Vance is actually worse than Trump" so predictable
Saw part of his speech.Tim Scott very passionate speech right now
Admittedly, I missed that part.Saw part of his speech.
You agree with his rhetoric about miracles and God's intervention to save Trump on Saturday? If so, what would you tell the family of the man who died about why God didn't intervene save their loved one?
How are you using the term miracle? Are you using it in a general sense to indicate that Trump was very lucky on Saturday or are you using it in a theological sense to indicate that God intervened purposefully to save Trump (as Scott was doing)?I think it was absolutely a miracle he survived..
My personal belief is that God has a unique plan for everyone’s life. Trump along with hundreds of people that day in Butler, PA were looked after on that bleak, tragic day. I’m not sure why 2 others were hurt.. and one was killed. I can’t fathom but I trust in God’s perfect plan.How are you using the term miracle? Are you using it in a general sense to indicate that Trump was very lucky on Saturday or are you using it in a theological sense to indicate that God intervened purposefully to save Trump (as Scott was doing)?
If it is the former, I would agree with you. Trump was very lucky. However, if it is the latter, I strong disagree and I believe such a viewpoint is dangerous, theologically inaccurate, and heartless as it concerns the man who did die.
I'm sure you hear the term "Christian nationalism" being discussed. The first few minutes of Scott's speech was Christian nationalism. He literally invoked Trump beside Jesus and called Trump an "American Lion" (Jesus is the Lion of Judah). How does such rhetoric not give you pause and concern?
That was an absolute disgusting opening by Senator Scott. He should be ashamed of himself.
I feel for DJT, Jr. on this one. Leftist media inspires a crazy fvcker to nearly put a bullet through his dad’s head, so he probably has little patience for their bullshit. Of course, PoncaScam would call him tRiGgErEd. SMH.
I hope he’s president someday. Dude’s gonna repair a shitload of things.
I believe too that God has a plan and that He has a plan for each person. But I also believe God gives each of us free will and that God interacts with us (and His creation) as we use that free will. I also believe God's presence was at that rally on Saturday as His presence is everywhere. That doesn't mean God was endorsing (so to speak) anything that was going on at that rally thoughMy personal belief is that God has a unique plan for everyone’s life. Trump along with hundreds of people that day in Butler, PA were looked after on that bleak, tragic day. I’m not sure why 2 others were hurt.. and one was killed.

Well then I seriously suggest you do some research and find out what it is. And quickly. Because Trump empowers Christian nationalists and many within his circle of advisors and financial backers are Christian nationalists. The beginning of Senator Scott's speech is an example of Christian nationalist rhetoric.I’ll be honest and let you know I have no idea what Christian Nationalism is
I would disagree with this. I think a neo-fascist standing on his/her beliefs is very dangerous. I think a Christian nationalist standing on his/her beliefs is very dangerous. Those persons have every right to express their beliefs, but others have every right to challenge them and to put forth alternative beliefs.but I think standing on beliefs isn’t dangerous or disgusting. I think pushing beliefs on others is and can be very dangerous but just talking about your own personal beliefs is not.
Man your tds is overwhelming. Take a breath you have to be hyper ventilating.I believe too that God has a plan and that He has a plan for each person. But I also believe God gives each of us free will and that God interacts with us (and His creation) as we use that free will.

What I don't believe is that God miraculous intervened to save Trump in particular way while refusing to intervene to save the life of an innocent bystander. Such a belief is based on a faulty theological understanding of God. It is dangerous. And it is heartless to that family now grieving their loved one who died.

A good place to start would be to watch the documentary "Bad Faith." It isn't that long and you can find it on many of the streaming services. There are numerous books and web sources too that you can research to find out about Christian nationalism.
btw, I hate the term "Christian nationalism." This ideology isn't Christian. Far from it. But that is the name the ideology has been given, unfortunately.

You still claim to be a liberal lawyer from Florida arguing on an Oklahoma State football message board?Where is Melanie Trump?
Saw part of his speech.
