    What are your thoughts on Trump raping a 13-year-old, and then all the other stuff? Disgusting?

    Why is the Maryland football coach opining about politics?
    Oh. Sorry. Wrong sequence of initials.

    Blocking anti-Semitic resolutions at the UN will not endear the Trump administration to its base.

    She was savaged from the start because she is a Republican and liberals are consumed with hate. Many people on this board are unqualified. They don't deserve vile treatment.

    I'll take that as a head-duck, thanks.

    You really don't follow politics, do you?

    At this point, arguing about Sarah Palin's qualifications is pointless and a waste of time we could be using to disagree about everything else. But lack of qualifications had zilch to do with the vitriol directed at Palin.

    Next time you're in the office, find a woman who isn't particularly qualified for her job and call her names. If you truly believe lack of qualifications is a justification for such, you will be protected by your righteousness.

    Yes, most people on this board are unqualified to be vice president, a position that is one heartbeat away from control of there nuclear codes. They're not running for the gig, either.

    Her credentials absolutely deserved to be questioned. To let that go simply because she claimed to be a Christian represents abdication of responsibility. It is fair and necessary to ask the sort of questions she was asked. To wit, if she became POTUS, could she promise the American people that she would not view her ascendancy as divine endorsement of policies that hastened the end times?

    Sarah Palin's "Planet Earth" and the End Times

    Although she characterizes her former house of worship as a place “I hadn’t attended regularly since I was a teenager,” three months before landing on the Republican ticket she visited the church, stood at the pulpit, and spoke of “having grown up here, and having little kids grow up here also.” She joked that, because of her background, “Nothing freaks me out about the worship service.”

    While standing before the congregation that day, Palin allowed the pastor and another minister to lay hands on her and to pray that the Lord would give her wisdom and strength to make the right decisions about “natural resources” as Alaska becomes “a refuge for the lower forty-eight” in “the last days.”

    What about deriding Pocahontas in the presence of Native American war heroes?

    Never heard of Charlottesville. Nope. Never heard about that one.
    As to people like Jerry Falwell and that segment of the base, don't be duped. They don't love Jews. They want Trump to support Israel because they believe such support will hasten the second coming, when Jews will be faced with a choice: turn their backs on their religion or burn in hell for eternity.
