The right and the left vote Republican and Democrat because each has core values that would never allow them in good conscience to vote for the other...but the moderates love to throw out the line (like you just did) that they are simply being fed by their party...wrong. Must make them feel more enlightened. They simply have some core values that they won't give on...I am talking about individuals, not the parties as a whole. Moderates don't seem to have any core values that they won't give on. If I am wrong, list the values that most moderates stick by.

Low information voters are without a doubt on both sides...the larger number exist in the form of moderates. They can be swayed by the last few soundbites they hear and will vote for someone like Trump when they voted for Obama last election...whoever makes them feel good. Obama played the game and got them, now Trump is doing it. No true conservative will vote for Trump UNLESS he is the last man standing for the Republicans...he'll be much better that what we have had and what we would get from the Democrats.

I hear you and I agree...some folks see conservatism as a threat to the GOP and want to play it safe so they back someone they feel will get the moderate vote. True conservatism is a winner...but the GOP will not back it.

Trump is spewing conservative views...Washington spends too much, I'll cut spending...I will build the wall to stop the flow of illegal immigrants...I will rebuild the military. This resonates with folks...whether or not he will do it is another story. Another reason he is doing well is because we are a nation of moronic reality TV fans and he appeals to them.

For the record, I don't consider Trump is a conservative, but he is talking like one and the GOP dislikes him as much and considers him a threat just like they do Cruz. With that said, he would be a welcome change to the disaster of a President we have have and the disaster that will continue if another Democrat gets elected.

Because many folks are uninformed and when it comes to politics...they will support someone because of what they say (whether it lines up with their past or not) or how they look. And don't think for a second the GOP is looking for a true conservative...they would love for Trump and Cruz to go away.

Those that want any chance at a strong military, safer border and a job had better. If you looking to get something from the fed gov, vote for clinton.

I agree with Mat...both. Some people choose a more charismatic time of Worship while others like it quieter and laid back (just one example) As long as it follows the Bible, it's all good. Sometimes we get too hung up on the small "non-Kingdom" issues and forget about what's important

Truth

I like this guy! [Hidden Content] ...and the lefty take on his statement...lol and smh. From the article... Among those viewing the video was the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana which said the term “heathen” was inappropriate unless the captain knew the religion of those being sought.

Hillary getting the female vote. [Hidden Content] I bet these "ladies" voted for Bill, too.

The liberal media (most of it) refuse to do their jobs...with Democrats anyway. This "biased media theory" is nonsense to the left (so they say) and they scoff at it like clear thinkers scoff at man-made global warming. Anyone within reason would expect her to get questions about these events...especially from such "esteemed" members of the press. Must have slipped their mind.

[Hidden Content] From the article: While Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sparred Thursday night over issues ranging from health care to police brutality to campaign finance -- and even who liked Henry Kissinger – what was glaringly missing was any mention of the government's investigations into Clinton’s email use or the Clinton Foundation. Both PBS moderators -- Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifill -- and Sanders ignored the controversies that have dogged Clinton's candidacy, despite fresh developments on both fronts. I wonder if Republicans would have received the same treatment...doubtful. Of course, most folks that are voting for Hillary don't care about this witch hunt nonsense anyway.

Simply being legal points the moral compass of many...sad.

Socialism is for the people...not the socialist.

That was not the point of the article...the point of the article is the hypocrisy that when someone kills a baby in the womb by stomping on them, they are charged with murder. When a child is killed in the womb by a doctor in the case of abortion, that is called a "choice" and is acceptable in society. The only person saying this dirtbag should get off because of this parallel is the sleazebag lawyer. The result, however, is the same and cannot be denied...a dead child. One is OK, the other is not. Neither is OK. You don't have to explain to me that this is the law of the land...I get it...I just know it is wrong.

Exactly right...abortion is murder, and the US has put a stamp of approval on it. Now we are funding groups that profit from selling body parts of these murdered children and many are apathetic to this news. But hey, the SC says it's legal, so hush up and just deal with it.

Yes, it is.

lol...this is true.

Great news...I hope very little gets done on the federal level. Gridlock is good.

Don't listen to what they say...pay attention to what they do. Too many folks don't pay attention until the debates and are swayed simply by words. That's how Obama fooled so many folks.

Yep

Correct, and they know this works with folks...too many folks are looking for what the fed gov can do for them. They are looking for a candidate to say what they can do for them to win them over. It is a turn off for many folks to hear that a candidate will do everything in their power to make the fed gov as insignificant in their lives as possible...lower taxes, smaller gov is considered radical.

From Wikipedia: In a video, He has said that his "father is a Shiite Muslim", and that he "grew up with Muslim beliefs, where do you think all my views come from from?, where do think my ideas about patriarchy and masculinity come from?" and "I'm introducing traditional Islamic values". He has stated that "All the views that I present on sex, woman, and men are basically a light version of Islam...what you can find in the Koran...of what has been taught from the prophet Muhammed."

But they are not the only party that can claim diversity. Many of the votes they get that get minority candidates elected are because they successfully sell the idea that the Republicans don't care about minorities...hogwash. Then the Democrats turn around and implement liberal progressive policies that are destructive to people, cities, states and will eventually destroy this country...and many of the minorities are victims of these policies. Not my opinion, fact...just look at any city/state that has been ruled by Dems for a length of time and you'll see the proof.
