ICXC NIKA I'll be watching how this developes. I sure don't like the show the two main candidates are putting on, so I'm scanning the horizon for other runners. __________________ But God does not take away life; instead He devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from Him.

Re: Evan McMullin Thread So far, he's managed to get on the ballot in a number of states, in addition to the states that allow write-ins. He is very late to the game, but his campaign seems to be gaining momentum as more and more people learn of him and are grateful to have a moral option for the presidency. __________________ “Prayer is helplessness casting itself on Power, infirmity leaning on Strength, misery reaching to Mercy, and a prisoner clamoring for Relief.” - ArchBishop Fulton J.

Re: Evan McMullin Thread I would rather vote for Donald Trump because he is stronger than Evan McMullin.

In regards to torture, immigrants, religious freedom for all, and abortion; Trump won't give me that. I do not want to be culpable in any way in regard to these important issues.

Trump will protect your religious liberties and do his best to stop abortion. He has more of a plan than McMullin.

Re: Evan McMullin Thread I beg to differ in regard to religious freedom. If you restrict one religion, you open the pathway to restricting all. You can't single out Muslims and leave everyone else free. Trump spent the vast majority of his life pro-choice. He only changed last year, and he's wishy washy, at best, about abortion. He is not to be trusted to protect the unborn.

Re: Evan McMullin Thread My reply in doggerel verse: Peter Pan the Republican: A Satirical Poem by Dwyer I am Peter Pan the Republican I live in Never Neverland It's a place I would rather be Far from Political Reality. Trump, Trump, go away! Don't come back some other day! Trump winning is my greatest fear. But not Hillary Clinton controlling the U.S. Supreme Court for the next 40 years! After Justices Kennedy, Bader-Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer Get off from the bench and retire. I will vote for McMullin, Johnson, or Stein Candidates who can never ever win though they're trying. And if Clinton wins, with that I'm fine. With Hillary back in the White House, and Bill, and Chelsea too For another four more years America will be run like a Democratic Zoo! Once again, Republican pundits can constantly criticize the Clintons on Fox News a' plenty And talk their heads off every day with Charles, Sean, Chris Wallace and Megan Kelly, About how we will try and find a Rockefeller Republican to run in 2020!
