Tickets to this ‘Prayer for Trump’ are $1,000 each.
Quote:In addition this will serve to make the overdue bold proclamation that he is the only Catholic option for 2024, underscoring the Catholic non-negotiables. In 1937 Pope Pius XI declared St. Joseph in Divini Redemptoris, the world patron against Communism. With this in mind we will invoke his protection upon President Trump and our great country.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Imagine being so tired of waiting for jesus, that you're willing to settle for trump.

I'm seeing where he's going to get national security briefings starting in June(?), since he's the GOP nominee. If the "Deep State" truly existed, he'd not have been elected the first time.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Quote:Former President Donald Trump easily swept to victory in a handful of additional Republican caucuses this weekend, looking ever more imperious in his bid for the GOP nomination. But new data from the Associated Press suggests his easy victories are hiding a serious potential problem: Never Trumpers aren’t changing their minds.
The AP reported on Sunday that even though a huge majority of Republicans appear to be enthusiastically on board with Trump, a significant fraction of those who voted in the first three GOP nominating contests say they will never vote for him in the general election. According to the analysis of Republican voters, 2 in 10 Iowa voters, 1 in 3 New Hampshire voters, and one quarter of South Carolina voters said they would not vote for Trump. While those numbers aren’t huge, Trump needs every last vote to do better than he did in 2020 when—as he often denies—he lost to Joe Biden.
The AP report did find, however, that just because those voters said they didn’t want to vote for Trump—ever—it didn’t mean they were Biden voters.
As gloomy as the AP’s findings were for Trump, Biden got his own bad polling breakdown news on Sunday as well. The New York Times released its own analysis of polling data that said 47 percent of Biden’s voters strongly agree that he is too old to be an effective president, and another 26 percent somewhat agree.

Of course. Either way, at least they are not on Trump's side.
Whatever the case, we all might no this by now, BUT Trump, and probably the people nominating Trump are only appealing to a number of republican voters. The number of such voters may be significant in size, but of course, they do not represent the entirety of the republican party, nor do they represent the whole of United States voters as well.
I guess what I am trying to say, as much as this may be known already, is that the politicians who may nominate Trump may fail to realize that not every republican in the USA is for Trump, and they are trying to please themselves by going with him instead of trying to please as much of the republican voters as they can, as they should be doing.
