The man is intelligent. It's a damn shame that here in the 21st century talented people still have to pretend to love Jesus in order to get elected.

"It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

1. Uhhh... your post is incomprehensible...
There is no connection between your thesis and the argument you use to support it. You make two separate statements but nothing relates the two in the post.

7. He's certainly not a fundy, but not fair to label athiest or agnostic...
... But because he doesn't follow the traditional fundamentalist tenents, it will be interesting to see how he handles questions on faith tomorrow on the CNN faith forum. (don't know what time it will be on)
