    A bet indicates a confidence level.

    When you mentioned Trump, you left off Pence and I am wondering WHY. Pence is a dunce.

    Without googling, can you name any UN Ambassador that accomplished anything? Being UN Ambassador is far from her only credentials.

    As much as I hate to say it, I could live with Pence instead of Trump...but yeah, Pence seems like a hand puppet with Trump's hand up Pence's ass.

    Do you live in the Portland area?
    Do you go to any of the Blazer meet and greets that Sly organizes?
    I'm frequently in the downtown Portland area and I am up at the VA hospital about four time a week.
    You can also mail me a check.
    Seems like your heart just isn't in it.

    Pence is very very anti gay and very much in favor of churches that he favors having a bigger role in all our lives. This worries me because I belong to a mainstream Christian church that he disfavors because of our views on loving others and welcoming homosexuals not only into our church but into our priesthood. Our parish has two women priests. It is also taught that the environment is because of God and we should take care of it.
    This in Matthew 25:35-40 Jesus speaking:
    "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

    I don't follow or adhere to the scriptures anymore, but I will tell you, like you, I was raised Episcopalian...in fact, when I was about 12, after being confirmed, I was also an acolyte.

    Which parish?
    My second cousin, more like an aunt, was Bishop Dagwell's secretary and the Bishop has been to our house to eat dineer at least twice.
    Oregon Episcopal School's chapel was a family church in the 50s. I also attended Trinity parish in NW Portland just prior to high school. That's when I stopped going to church until I had an aha moment about five years ago and returned to attendance about two or three years ago. Now I'm back at Christ church in Lake Oswego.

    Trump/Pence are a certain win in 2020.

    Nikki Haley is the most likely 1st woman President, with Trump’s endorsement in 2024.

    No other woman candidate as of today could make a serious run.

    Same parish name.
    Wow, that was far far away from here.
    The farthest South in Florida I've ever been was in Tampa. Never been to the East coast of Florida.

    Warren and Harris are women candidates who could make serious runs.
    Haley would make an adequate President, not a great one but adequate.
    Trump-Pence will be big time losers. I'm so sure of it that I'll bet money. Now, that's confidence.
