Hillary said "he could be assassinated"

Trump said:  “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. "

It is not even fucking close to the same thing, stop sucking on Trumps nuts.

I'll leave the above post as an ode to the type of folks who support Hillary.

 It is all in how it is perceived. Neither of them said "go kill that person".  Only inferences can be made with either statement.  Either way Trump is an idiot for saying it

I wonder just how big a hit to the economy it is everytime Trump says something stupid and folks on the right spend countless hours scouring the internet for anything that might resemble a "both sides do it". Actually, the more I think about it...there has to be a business opportunity there.

[nate]

Amazing how naive some people are.  I shouldn't be surprised with how many dailybeast.com links are shared.  Hillary was asked why she was staying in the race, it was a stupid answer but hardly the same.  Trump just offered it in a statement.

[mtangelsfan]

Nate, do you think Hillary Clinton will be a good president?

Trump predicts winning the presidency will get him into heaven

 

 

I'm pretty sure this is Biblically sound theology.

I'm not really up on my bible...but isn't Trump being elected president one of the signs of the apocalypse?

I think he read that in Two Corinthians.

For a man who claims the Bible is his favorite book and "nobody reads the bible more than me", he sure doesn't know what is in there.

[Spirit]

Trump was asked whether there was "a favorite Bible verse or Bible story" that has informed his thinking or his character through life.



"Well, I think many. I mean, when we get into the Bible, I think many, so many. And some people, look, an eye for an eye, you can almost say that. That's not a particularly nice thing. But you know, if you look at what's happening to our country, I mean, when you see what's going on with our country, how people are taking advantage of us ... we have to be firm and have to be very strong. And we can learn a lot from the Bible, that I can tell you."



Unfortunately, an "eye for an eye" is one of the few Mosaic Law verses that Jesus singled out in the Sermon on the Mount as overcome, by the New Covenant that His death and resurrection would seal.



"You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you not. Resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other," Jesus says in the famous sermon Matthew 5.



 



Edge:  Jesus

Are you going to admit that you'd rather see Trump win before or after the election?

I know, you're voting third-party... you don't like either of them, but just as nate and most others here have a preference between the two candidates, I sense you lean a bit more towards the Republican party as you usually do.

He really said this, didn't he? This isn't some joke, I fear.

[arch stanton]

If he ever spent ten minutes reading it would dawn on him that it's been ten minutes since someone had to hear him flap his ignorant gums and his head would probably explode. 

[Glen]

It would have been great if he'd said something like "What's the part of the Bible where Mary Magdalene shows her tits? I really like that one."

I've been asked this before.  I honestly couldn't tell you.  That is the truth.  I despise them both so much.  I think the country would be safer with Clinton but I also think she would continue down the path that we have been going, secretive, sneaky, dirty.  She will lie, cheat, spy, bomb brown people, drone civilians and continue the slow sad march of the middle class into the oblivion.

Trump could get us all killed in a month.  He will be secretive, sneaky and dirty.

I'll admit to thinking a Trump presidency would be high entertainment, until it wasn't.

I think we have screwed ourselves completely.

Well, you could argue it is in fact a joke.  But he did say it:  http://www.rawstory.com/2016/04/donald-trump-favorite-bible-verse-is-one-jesus-specifically-repudiated/

Fair enough, I appreciate your candor.

Some people are predicting Trump is trying to lose on purpose, to make some sort of point. Methinks whatever his end goal is, it will involve making a ton of money.

 

[red321]

You too can be an official card carrying Donald Trump Club member...and not just any card...but the best fanciest most excellent gold card with a computer generated Donald Trump signature and everything. Special deal today only...$35 (marked down from $100). No word if you also get a secret decoder ring.

I get that sense too. He seems to be doubling down on the idiotic things he says. If he were serious about winning he'd start acting like it.
