"Let’s play a game: Imagine a woman who showed up unprepared, sniffling like a coke addict and interrupting her opponent 70 times. Let’s further imagine that she’s had 5 kids by 3 men, was a repeated adulterer, had multiple bankruptcies, paid zero federal taxes and rooted for the housing crisis in which many thousands of families lost their homes. Wait… there’s more: she has never held any elected office in her life and evangelical Christians love her just as she is.
Right. It’s impossible to imagine such a scenario. Because it would never happen, in any country. Last night proved to me that whatever I and other women accomplish, it will never be enough. Any gaseous chimpanzee can simply interrupt as much as he wants and throw some manure for good measure. He is a documented pathological liar, yet SHE has the reputation. He has a team of high-end accountants and lawyers who game the system in his favor, yet SHE is called a crook. He is literally nothing without his daddy’s “small loan” of 14 million, yet he is a candidate for president of the United States. He’s a parasite on the American middle class, and the GOP that nominated him has become a metastatic tumor on our democracy.
I’m not a fan of Hillary but, screw it… I’m voting for her.”

Hmm! When it gets put that way, it really hits me hard what is going on here. Let's elect a man who doesn't read the Bible, go to church or pray, but more important at no point ever in his life has even tried to live like Jesus, and because he is a part of the old boy's club, let's elect him, even though he has never even held office, let alone had any training or background in running a country. So much for the myth of him being outside the establishment! In fact, he is the establishment, Republican-wise speaking!
And saying because he has managed a few businesses makes him qualified is like saying because I was a teacher once, and very good at it, that gives me the know-how to run a country. (Talking about our boy Justin here! Of course you could also use the analogy of snow board instructor or bar bouncer, Trudeau's other qualifications for being Prime Minister)
Which I think makes me realize why I am so involved in this whole debate. Because I saw a Trudeau sweep to power twice. The first Trudeau set our country on the path to economic ruin, which took decades to ameliorate. Now the totally unqualified heart throb and selfie king Trudeau 2.0 has put us back on the path to ruination and he has only been in power one short year. Trudeau is even trying to change the whole way we vote, so that the Liberal party would likely stay in power forever.
Be warned, Trump is not going to do any evangelical Christians any favours if he gets elected. Do not be deceived.
