"Trump and America’s sewer politics: A campaign beyond embarrassment"...FOX political contributor.

[Surya Gayatri]

I was going to write about how the Republican presidential campaign has become gutter politics, but given Donald Trump’s horrid statements, the gutter would be a step up, because things have descended into the sewer.

Never in modern times has there been a presidential candidate who has hurled more personal insults and hurtful accusations at his fellow candidates and others who disagree with him. It should embarrass a normal person, but Trump appears beyond embarrassment.

What continues to amaze is the strong backing of Trump by so many evangelicals. If their church members behaved as Trump does, they would receive a serious talking to by the deacons or pastor and if they didn’t repent and change their ways they might face expulsion. With Trump, most evangelical leaders have remained largely silent, offering neither criticism nor praise. This is what can happen when some pastors who are called to a different kingdom and a different King settle for an earthly kingdom and lesser king.

Does anyone know what Donald Trump’s position is on anything? Do they care? Apparently not from the sycophants who cheer his every insult at packed rallies around the country. He belittles, he whines and he complains that some in the media don’t treat him “fairly” when he has been on TV more than all of the other candidates combined. The reason for all the coverage he receives? He gets big ratings and the networks live for ratings.

2. You refer to Evangelicals as if they are deserving of some high moral regard.

In reality, they have absolutely nothing to do with God, and everything to do with the Republican party.

4. This is from a piece by Cal Thomas on the FOX NEWS site. (not me...LOL!)

Cannot abide the evangelical mindset myself. Antithetical to everything I believe.

7. Did you hear Paul Ryan's callout of Trump just now?

Their Godzilla is about to tear down Gotham.

Watching them devour their own is just SO delicious.
