          All part of his plan to win the election via the house of representatives!

          • Was Giuliani always an embarrassing political shill? I could have sworn he was an admired politician a decade ago. What the hell happened?

              Great question. Very embarrassing.

              With Giuliani carrying all that water, makes me think that Christie couldn't take it anymore.
              Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

              • Sounds like some of the deplorables in AZ didn't appreciate The Republic breaking with tradition and endorsing a democrat.

                  SU will love this article:

                  One of the most difficult academic presentations I’ve been asked to give this year was before a group of Moroccan Muslim scholars who were visiting Washington, DC this summer to learn about American religion. I was invited to present from my research on American Evangelicalism, and when we got to the topic of Donald Drumpf I found myself befuddled to explain what it is that Evangelicals have found appealing about that noxious, philandering, bigoted blowhard. The sad reality, as I’ve written about before, is that the Religious Right, the self-styled Moral Majority, has lined up behind Drumpf this year with inexplicably little trouble.

                  Growing up in the Evangelical movement, I was constantly warned by pastors and leaders against the danger of becoming a “cultural Christian,” a person who bore the outward trappings of Christian faith but who did not possess a sincere, personal piety. Evangelicals cast themselves as real Christians who were willing to risk being counter-cultural. What Drumpf has exposed is that there is such a thing as “cultural Evangelicals,” a host of people who know the shibboleths of Evangelicalism but can still stomach voting for a man who is the antithesis of Evangelical Christian theology and values. Drumpf is unrepentantly wicked, a constant liar, a serial adulterer, a self-confessed sexual abuser whose rampant aggression against women has been confirmed this past week by a chorus of female victims who have been unlucky enough to encounter the shameless, treacherous man in the past few decades.
                  If the test of the moral courage of a religious movement is how they stand for their values when there is an opportunity to abandon them for political expediency, then Mormons have passed the test thus far in 2016. They have been the Moral Minority. They are the Daniels, the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednegos, the Esthers of this election season, who have refused the idolatry and apostasy that Drumpf embodies in his gilded insanity. While Evangelicals may still quibble with Mormons about theology and scripture and history, they should take a lesson from Mormons’ righteous backbone while there is still time.

                  • Looks like McMullin will be the one to vote for to stop Trump in Utah. He seems to be trending up.




                    New poll has Utah a statistical dead heat:
                    Trump 30%
                    McMullin 29%
                    Clinton: 28%
                    Johnson 5%

                          I like McKay Coppins. He's writing some good stuff this election season. And he's also LDS.

                            • If McMullin has a better chance at beating Trump in Utah than Hillary does, I will vote for him.
