IMO Christians worth their salt do not need to "turn" their hearts to Christ - Christ already lives there.

Anytime I hear about days of prayer I'm thinking, aren't you guys supposed to be praying every day already? And not be making any loud-ass announcements about it either, per a rather well-known sermon on a mountain?

Well, Christian theology is a mystery to me anyway. The Lord turns water into wine, but the Baptists aren't allowed to drink it.

5) Her personality, or lack thereof. Maybe should be higher than that.

No I honestly think her faults were a very minor part of the "loss". In an otherwise fair fight, she'd have wiped the floor with Trump.

Now if she were up against a competent politician who knew how to speak, that'd have been a different story. I think Hilary Clinton would have been in trouble in a fair election against Jeb Shrub.

There are four reasons Hilary Clinton lost, in descending order:

1) The republican party disenfranchising c. ten million US citizens.
2) James Comey and the "butheremails!" October surprise he ran on behalf of his party colleague Trump.
3) Russia's various meddling.
4) Hilary Clinton running a very bad and lacklustre campaign, and realising too late that she needed to be more than not-Trump.

You missed the most important one - 62,984,828 Deplorables. They knew what Trump was, but voted for him anyway.

But yes, Hillary was a terrible candidate. We know this because the Deplorables kept telling us so. Would they lie to us? Of course not. And it's not like it was out of the blue. They've been trying to tell us for decades how bad Hillary is! So we took it on board and said "Hillary is a terrible candidate, but she's not Trump so I guess I will have to vote for her" (except for those of us who didn't).

Let's count the ways Hillary was so terrible, and what she should have done to be more than not-Trump:-

1. Being a woman. Hillary should have taken testosterone and gotten a sex change.

2. Cozying up to elites instead of listening to common folk. She should have avoided anyone with power and influence, and lived under a bridge with homeless people.

3. Not being progressive. She should have offered real change, like Obama!

4. Being part of the 'Establishment'. Hillary should have remained independent from the Democratic party all those years. When challenged she could have said 'of course I am a Democrat' but continue running as an independent.

There are many more things she could have done of course, such as conceding to Bernie in the primaries even though she won, or simply giving up politics to let men run things, but sadly she chose her own aspirations over what was best for the country. What made her think she was better suited to the job than a failed businessman, grifter and reality TV star?

And the weightings I'd give all those would be 70-20-7-3.
Click to expand...
I agree with those weightings. But even though her lackluster campaign was only a small part of it, in the end she was totally to blame for the loss. If only she had whipped up a bit more enthusiasm we could have won! Many of us loyal democrats worked very hard to get people on our side, only to be let down by that 3% (especially those of us who didn't bother voting because she had an 'unassailable' 3% lead in the polls).

Presidential Message on the National Day of Prayer and Return, 2020

On this inaugural National Day of Prayer and Return, the First Lady and I join millions of Christians here in the United States and around the world in prayer, as we turn our hearts to our Lord and Savior.

Wait. Wait.

The National Day of Prayer is in May.

What the ****** is “the inaugural National Day of Prayer and Return.”?

I can’t find anything about it other that the White House made a proclamation. The press release doesn’t even say what it is.


ETA
Ok, I found it. I didn’t see it earlier because the WH ****** up the name.

It is the National and Global [sic] Day of Prayer and Repentance created by a group call the Return 2020.

Have you heard about The Return 2020 yet?! The Return is a global day of prayer and repentance that’s taking place on the National Mall in Washington D.C. on Saturday, September 26! We’re inviting you to watch and participate with us as we pray for America to return to God.

"You're just pickin' on me 'cause I'm a girl" has been Clinton's go-to excuse for most of her life. But the fact is that she won three million more votes than her opponent in 2016, and Jill Stein won a million and a half votes herself, most of which would have gone to Clinton in a two-way race. Americans were and are perfectly willing to elect a woman as President. Gee, if only Hillary hadn't been so sure of victory that 79,000 people in three states who would have voted for her just stayed home....

Not a lie, your car insurance is (at least) liability insurance. As would be certain portions of homeowners' insurance.

Yeah, I too have malpractice insurance. But legislators wrote laws excluding themselves from personal liability. That includes police and in may cases, attorneys.

So it is a lie.

Yesterday’s poll of Fox News viewers:

- 55% said the president clearly won the first debate
- 45% said the debates have not yet happened.

What a steaming pile of ****. How is it you know so little about Clinton? This post is pitiful.

And no one on this forum that I can see said a woman couldn't get elected.

Nonsense. I actually heard people say they wouldn't vote for her because she was a woman.

When mixed marriages were allowed, when women got the right to vote, when civil rights laws were enacted, when people started forming their own views instead of taking them from their pastor - take your pick :mad:

Ronna McDaniel
@GOPChairwoman
Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a remarkable nominee, and the Senate should confirm her without delay.

The RNC is investing $10M to promote her qualifications, expose Democrats’ partisanship, and use this issue to galvanize voters to the polls in November!

For years you had a President who apologized for America - now you have a President who is standing up for America, and standing up for Pennsylvania. So get your friends, get your family, get your neighbors & co-workers, and GET OUT & VOTE! Early voting has already begun — VOTE!

Together, we are taking back our Country. We are returning power to YOU, the American People. With your help, your devotion, & your drive, we are going to keep on working, we are going to keep on fighting, & we are going to keep ON WINNING! Get out & VOTE! http://Vote.DonaldJTrump.com

In just 3 and a half years, we have secured America’s Borders, rebuilt the awesome power of the U.S. Military, obliterated the ISIS caliphate, fixed our disastrous Trade Deals, and brought JOBS back home to America – and back to PENNSYLVANIA! #MAGA
 
Trump complains the media didn't report his Nobel Peace Prizes:

"On Saturday, Trump grumbled that there wasn’t a word in the “fake news” about his Nobel recognition.

“Somebody had a show where they said the amount of time devoted to Donald Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize — two of ’em — [was] zero on the networks, zero,” he emphasized. ”It is so disgraceful. They’re so bad.”

I mentioned this the last time that there was a similar claim. I was part of a union when I worked for New York State. The union leaders told the members which candidates the union was endorsing. The members had no say in the matter.
