Trump also has a lot of the religious crowd.

"Religious"

There are a lot of Americans who identify themselves as "Christians".  They are culturally Christian, they may attend Church and religious oriented organizations, even identify themselves as evangelical or "born again" but not necessarily have deep religious commitments.  It is affinity more than faith.  That is where some of the Trump "Christian" vote is coming from.

So that's how Bernie is "Jewish"?

Worried about the ones that got away?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

So if Hillary wins, does that mean that Bill will again be in charge of Internal Affairs and Foreign Relations in the White House?

Trump's craftiest move was to pick a fight with Megyn Kelly.  There is no subject the media thinks is more interesting and more important than the media:

Megyn Kelly to Donald Trump: 'Seriously?'
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Donald Trump has done the impossible. Not only enticed people like me to vote for Ted Cruz, but also made the Cruz family into sympathetic figures.

Maybe he will get Mexico to pay for that wall.  :hmm:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

How these people do it? It is like Kim Kardashian. These people have some sort of voodoo magic that makes everybody talk about them. It makes no damn sense.

Trump kind of reminds me of what my ex-gf said about Bill Clinton when he was President:  "The trouble is, we have white trash in the White House.  Not poor white trash, but white trash never-the-less.  I'm a social worker in southern West Virginia;  I know white trash when I see it."  If anything, Trump is trashier than Bill Clinton.
How many Rhodes scholars has she come across during her work with white trash?

That just makes it worse. Most people born into being white trash can't change because they lack the ability or the opportunity to do so. Bill had both, so choosing to remain so is on him.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The 42nd President of the United States and his net worth of $80 million doesn't give a flying rat fuck whether you think he's white trash or not.

When you make TIME's Man of the Year twice and get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, then you can talk smack.

I would hardly call Bill white trash. Or is that your stereotype of any white person from the south.
