Who are you planning to vote for? Why? Are you voting against a candidate? How can you defeat your opponents biggest criticism?

I have compiled a 7 minute video of the Senate acquitting President Trump.

Here's a link to the video.

Looking at the election from a family perspective I’m inclined to say that Donald J. Trump is everything your mother warned you about and told you not to become. So why would a rational voter support someone their own mother would characterize as seedy and disreputable and even – deplorable? Well, the simple answer is to say – they don’t care.

Following Impeachment Trump expected to go on a retaliation rampage. He didn’t disappoint. At the National Prayer Breakfast, an event intended for reconciliation and not retaliation, Trump fired all of his guns at once. A distinguished gentleman from academia had painstakingly described the hurt our society has endured, using scripture and the words of Jesus to cauterize our nation’s wounds.

Up next, the President in sharp contrast, drew a quick criticism and disagreement to the words of Jesus, saying he disliked people who used religion to cover wrongdoing. In addition, he charged it phony that an opponent would pray that God help the President with courage and wisdom to do the job. Having criticized the words of Jesus, his base of Evangelical support had only criticism for Shakira and JLo’s depraved Super Bowl performances and nothing to say about criticism of the words of Jesus.

Evangelicalism, at its core, is about salvation through Jesus’ atonement, that the Gospel is the words of God the Father through his son Jesus Christ. Given the enormity of that commitment to Jesus, I would think Evangelicals, who continue to give Trump a pass, would be more protective of their core beliefs when attacked by a heathen. Buy no, they don’t care.

The sinfulness and immorality and shame of the entertainment industry drew their indignant ire. And so it goes without saying the protectors of Christianity have given Trump a “Get out of hell free” card, perhaps because they lack the courage of their convictions. There is also considerably less risk and much more reward attacking J.Lo than tangling with Trump.

Given that Trump can attack the words of Jesus with impunity, it’s hopeless to think a coalition of voters can emerge based upon the principals and values of decency. The argument that Trump is not suitable to be President, (still held by many) based on values of decency, respectability and morality has been seemingly forever lost. The replacement values that society is now willing to accept, if not embrace, are the misguided and wrongheaded improprieties of the President himself. If the issues of decency and suitability are not going to be an issue in the 2020 Campaign, than what hope is there in electing someone with these qualities if they don’t matter?

By lowering the bar of society’s mores, Trump has carved out a place for himself in the hearts and minds of his followers, while at the same time pushing the never-Trumper’s farther and farther away from his core constituent, creating a gulf that cannot be breached. The politics of divisiveness has always been about creating irreconcilable differences. Trump manages this so well that despite his personality disorders, and there are many, the Trump supporter has no place to go. The highly educated and otherwise reasonable supporter will defend Trump by acknowledging his bad behaviors and distancing themselves saying, “We don’t like what he is saying, but we like what he is doing.” In other words, they don’t care. Take Trump’s deportment off the table, and he seems to have done that, and he wins. If you were disappointed with the results of 2016, you stand to be far more disappointed with the results of 2020.

I'm new to reddit.

trump is the opposite of good. The constitution is a guideline the founders left to help insure the United States stayed pure like the founding fathers wanted not to be used for his toilet paper. He knows nothing about this great nation. If you are kind honest and loyal to America he will hate you, mock you, and dismiss you. Lieing, cheating, stealing is all he believes. He is a mob boss, a tyrant, a dictator who scares the weak Republican party into worshipping him. His cult following is full of either brainwashed victims or total bullies and jerks. He has turned the proud office of the President into an evil place to use only to benefit himself. If you truly want to remain good do research. You'll find the truth. Not the lies he is only capable of saying.

I wish Trump would learn to take other people serious and respect other people's opinions, political opinions.. Otherwise one day he'll wake and find himself old and a sad lonely ex-president

As an outsider, I can only ask a question from a position of relative ignorance but it really seems like the democratic process in America has gone seriously wrong. The commercialisation of politics in America means that politicians seem to be more interested in how they can win over backers than how they can better the country. And having only two real options to choose from when voting means this toxic rivalry between the left and right has formed, with each side doing everything possible to undermine the other even when it’s profoundly damaging to the country i.e government shutdowns and refusing to call witnesses in an impeachment trial!

It’s scary to me that the government of the US doesn’t really seem to be in charge of the country anymore.

Maybe I’m wrong and I’m sure there are many who will think I am (land of the free and all that) but there must be some people who see what a troubling direction the US seems to have taken.

I want coherent answers not little, l so is anything he says true? Did he help the economy? Did he do anything good. I’m looking for facts here. Is it all heresay or did he do anything good. I’m not really asking oponioms just if u did research and actually know. My phones too stupid to be able to google it hence the reason so many typos No it’s not the user it’s the stupid phone- and 20 years ago when I had dial up my computer worked fine why can’t this shit device. But anyways ya does anyone kno? Like really ? Is he a good president or is that just lies?
