Hiding.

You wouldn't know rational if it bit you on the ass. You are the most partisan hack on this site and work to continually stir the pot. Now you want to present yourself as the great moderator. Right.

Just let it go Robert, you've had a problem for years, trying to be a big bad bully is not going to work. We get it, now go back to reading your latest issue of the Crusader.

Give it up, I mean do you feel big and bad telling people how you are going to beat them up on an internet message board? Then spreading your vile to others? You've been watching too much Alex Jones, and are feeling awfully brave.

I'm here any day. Please approach me and ask me, and I'd be happy to tell you how I feel. Ball is in your court. Put up or shut up, and clearly, I am not the only one here who took your words as a threat.....

Edit: Honestly, not worth it. So nevermind.

Exactly, however, many outwardly support his moral compass and believe that the 1,000’s of lawsuits, inventions, and claims are all bogus by those seeking a quick buck.

I have been reading this thread for all 26 pages. For the record, my name is Tom Peltier and I live in Akron. I have two degrees from Ohio in 71 and 73, both in Chemical Engineering. I have been reluctant to jumping in because there are so many Trump haters on this.

I would like to somewhat respond to the reasonable question about how Republicans see Trump.

Being an engineer, I am very fiscally conservative and am much more of a black or white person. Grey will get you killed when engineering something. I have been a Republican for a long time. Trump was not my first pick, but anybody but Obama would have my vote. I grew up in a farming area and we had many guns and almost everybody was a Democrat. Now everybody is a Republican. What changed? Morals. This is still almost a 100% Catholic area founded by legal German and French immigrants. When I look what was accepted in the 60's and what Hollywood brings today, it is beyond imagination.

What do I think of Trump? His policies well get him elected again if the economy keeps rolling along. Look at your 401k's the next time you hate Trump. I am not a fan of his tweets, his many marriages and many other things, but he is leading like a Republican. By the way it was interesting how the local papers put the article about Hillary's spiritual director on the back pages. It was recommended he be fired in 2008 for sexual harassment but she refused.

My son is a Republican and my daughter a Democrat. I don't think my grandchildren have a chance until they get older. In school they are literally brainwashed these days. Nothing from teachers is ever positive about Trump only negative just like the media.

I guess we old white guys will just have to hope for the best when we are gone.

One reason I haven't added to this thread is the deep hatred expressed in comments. Calling someone Bobby when he is willing to give is name as Robert is extremely insulting. I just can't believe how Obama did nothing wrong but Trump is many times compared to Hilter.

For those who may think I am some type of racist, I am involved with a Catholic charity that visits those in need in the city of Akron. We ask no questions about morals or past problems. We help no matter what your race, creed, sexual preference or color is. I spend many hours each week doing this because I want the children to succeed and everyone have a job. Until all are working and off the government dole, we will never overcome poverty.

Blast away. I enjoy a good discussion.

Remember this is an almost all Catholic area. People feel that Democrats abandoned them on abortion. These were farmers and blue collar workers, prime Democrats in the old days. I actually think Hollywood has hurt Democrats in middle America. If Hollywood is for it, we are against it. Trump's message to those in middle America hit home. I am not saying Obama was bad for the middle America, it just seemed he cared a whole lot more for Hollywood and the left coasts than middle America.

Again, I am not a big Trump fan. But when you talk morals, do think Hollywood is any better?

Akron - I too was raised Catholic (left for personal reasons), so appreciate many can be single issue (abortion) driven. The survey was not "versus" Hollywood or Obama, it was Trump the person - not policy. Still struggle with 4 to of 5 saying Trump the man is a role model for our children and provides an appropriate moral compass for our country. I get the ends justify the means - but that isn't what the survey explored. As the point of comparison, Dems applauded Bill Clinton's ends, but acknowledge in this same survey the man and his morals.

Al, I want to make sure you understand that I grew up in western Ohio west of I-75. That is the area where I was talking about being almost all Catholic and I think they voted over 80% for Trump.

A lot of people did not care for Obama, but if you said anything you were a racist. It was his policies that I disagreed with, not his race or him as an individual.

Respectfully, there are literal Nazis, with swastika armbands, German chants, torches, and the works marching in support of Trump. He has, whether purposefully or because he's a blundering fool, done a very poor job of officially denouncing them. Which is to say, generally if you don't want to be compared to Nazis, you should consider policies that don't make Nazis so pleased.

In other words, 100 % of Trump supporters aren't racists and Nazis, but 100% of racists and Nazis support Trump. Why is that? And more to the point, why aren't rational, moral conservatives doing more to clean house within their party?

It strikes me as really strange to make the point that liberals overreact and call Trump Hitler, while literal Nazis March in favor of Trump.

So many conservatives here are clearly annoyed by being labelled racist by the left. That's fair. I certainly don't think any of you are racists. But there's cause and effect at work here.
