Yup. I wish the conservatives didn't base their choice on whether the candidate claims he's a Christian or not. Any politician can claim they're one but that's just to get votes.Hardcore conservatives are anti-abortion. They want Planned Parenthood de-funded. They also want a candidate who identifies closely with the church. Trump is pro-choice, supports Planned Parenthood, and he makes Hillary look churchy by comparison. The Pope actually singled out Trump and accused him of not being a Christian.
Republican conservatives have always felt like their candidate was God's choice. As absurd as it is to think of Dubya as an angel and Al Gore as a devil, they really do think that way. But this time, no one can see Trump as an angel.
Presidencies are like long, bad relationships that America has with one man. When it's over, we typically choose the most opposite new candidate from the last sitting president. Dubya set up Obama. And now it looks like Obama is setting up Trump.
Bush 2 was a rhino who got us into expensive wars that we didn't need to be in.
He wasted money. The patriot act. Clinton may have passed legislation forcing banks issue mortgage loans to people who can't afford them, but Bush deregulated derivatives and that led to the financial crisis.
