    You need to somehow if at all possible get a better grasp of the English language and more especially irony ... ever heard the word before?

    More of your mindless calumny that is long on insults, but fails to address any specific issue.

    May I suggest you get out and about a bit? Christians are specifically called to rejoice in and proclaim their faith.

    I think you have a very self-serving view of Christianity, albeit one that does not pay heed to scripture.

    I think he was referring to so-called "Christians" who do plenty of "proclaiming" but give Christianity a bad name by their example. (Mat. 6: 1-34)

    You can think whatever you want, and in your case, it doesn't have to correspond with reality. I'm going by what he said, viz.

    The only real christians that I have ever met in my life were those that never mentioned that they were christians

    I think he was speaking from his experience. Some so-called Christians think they're God's gift to the heathen, but their example drives non-Christians away. Do we know any like that?

    Sort of yes because his voters are the type to hate women anyway. Anything they say is rooted in emotions not facts. She feels he's bad because he is too busy making the hard manly decisions.

    All he has to do is say she is "jealous of his success. I don't even talk to her much. I'm too busy working anyway. How many casinos did she own?".

    That's all it will take and she is worse than Obama and part of the conspiracy against him. The more people speak against him the more Facebook posts you will see from people looking for attention. They need to you know they are hate filled and stupid (or as they call it free thinking) and doesn't that just piss you off?

    Unless you have direct contact with a man like Trump it's very easy to believe the lies. Notice how few if any people who have worked with him have anything good to say? They are always thrown aside and it's only the voter who has never met him who feels the connection.

    As soon as they were hurt too that would not be true and sociopaths like Trump only allow people in their life to be used. If only each voter could spend a week with him he would not have votes.

    Republicans tend to vote on emotion. This man feels like he would like my sports team and drink my beer so he has my vote. They would not be Trump's drinking buddy and they would be very shocked.

    Like which contractors to "re-negotiate the contract" with after the work is completed satisfactorily and which to not pay at all... Those kind of "manly decisions"?

    Yes, I think they would support that. He did what was right for his profits and they were probably Mexicans anyway. He's just too smart for the system. Isn't it kind of the fault of the contractor for being too weak to be paid not the strong one who will not pay?

    This is how his cult thinks.
