    Why? He's one of the dumbest presidents we have had and that's not even taking into account all the other baggage he brings.

    What I'm saying is, Trump is the only supporter of right-to-life who has a legitimate chance of getting into the White House.

    You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

    Why do you care so much about whether other people do or do not reproduce?

    I mean, I get it that your religion says every life is precious, and you've accepted the idea that a fetus is a person, and you consider abortion murder. And everyone should be anti-murder, right?

    But there are so many things going on in the world that your religion should tell you to be against as well. Genocide, pedophilia, war, slavery, pumpkin spice lattes, rape.

    Why this one topic in particular, rather than any/all of the others? It seems like a bit of a weird obsession to me.

    Call it a weird obsession, then. I also appreciate the top two guys he has by his side.

    So you think if the Republican nominee is not Trump, he or she will definitely lose?

    On what do you base that assertion?

    I assume Pence is one of who you are calling the top two guys. Who is the other?

    There won't be another Republican nominee other than Trump. Book it, Danno.

    This is super circular. I know Trump will be the nominee. I'm trying to point out why he'll be the nominee. Hint, it's not because he's pro-life.

    Trump will be the nominee because no serious Republican will run against him. No serious Republican will run against him because Republican voters won't support anyone but Trump. Republican voters won't support anyone but Trump because (choose one):

    1) Trump is pro-life and other Republican politicians aren't; or
    2) Trump supporters simply aren't willing to consider anyone but Trump.

    I can only speak for myself:

    BTW, what Democratic candidate ran against Obama in 2012? That's what I thought.

    Was there supposed to be something after the colon?

    Yes, Obama was widely popular among democrats in 2012, so he didn't get any challengers.

    Similarly, Trump is widely popular among Republicans, so he's not getting any challengers.

    I get that.

    What I don't get is you saying 'he's pro-life, so I've got to support him'. Because if you and the rest of the cult didn't support him, you'd have an abundance of other pro-life Republicans to choose from.

    Huh? Are you saying you don't believe there are other pro-life republicans?

    The president’s self-aggrandizing remark followed a string of criticisms aimed at his predecessors, whom he claimed had ignored China’s alleged malpractice on trade.

    “This isn’t my trade war, this is a trade war that should have taken place a long time ago,” Trump told reporters outside the White House.

    “Somebody had to do it,” the president said. He added, while looking to the heavens: “I am the Chosen One.”

    Trump continued: “Somebody had to do it, so I’m taking on China. I’m taking on China on trade, and you know what? We’re winning.”

    “I was put here by people,” the president said. “I was put here by people to do a great job. And that’s what I’m doing.”

    Amen, brother!
