9. The local Catholics are hitching their wagons to Trump because his party is "pro life."

To anyone who believes that Trump would not terminate a pregnancy that brings an inconvenience to his life, I have some Sahara swampland to sell you.

He was actually pro-choice before this election. I have a bridge to sell to anyone who believes that Trump is really "pro-life."

But, this is how the die-hard conservatives can rationalize voting for Trump. For the past several elections, they preached and wrote LTTEs in the local newspapers stating that Bill Clinton is not fit to be POTUS because he's a womanizer and a draft dodger.

So, in 2016, these same people are voting for Trump.

They said John Kerry is not fit to be POTUS because he's a flip-flopper and he showed disrespect for our men and women in uniform disparaging the U.S. operations in SE Asia.

In 2016, these same people are voting for Trump.

In 2008, they said Obama is not qualified for POTUS due to his lack of government leadership experience.

In 2016, these same people are voting for Trump.

I've expressed this dozens of times on this site - These people would vote for Hitler/Mussolini if they were on the Republican Presidential ticket, even if the Democrats had Jesus Christ & St. Peter on their ticket.

That is sickening and sick Emilybemily Oct 2016 #1
