I thought I just accidentally erased the email from Newsweek. But maybe I was just hallucinating. I went looking for it too and I couldn't find it. Maybe I was just reading the CHB article?
Oh well, blame it on the MS. Got to be good for something.

Maybe you were referring to this article: But an investigation by The New York Times into the financial maze of Mr. Trump’s real estate holdings in the United States reveals that companies he owns have at least $650 million in debt — twice the amount than can be gleaned from public filings he has made as part of his bid for the White House. The Times’s inquiry also found that Mr. Trump’s fortunes depend deeply on a wide array of financial backers, including one he has cited in attacks during his campaign. in the NY Times

That must have been it! No wonder the CHB article seemed so familiar. Here's yet another Newsweek hit piece: Trump's Problem With God It's an open letter to the Speaker (a devout Catholic) and James Dobson (a prominent evangelical). Both of whom have endorsed a man who apparently knows almost nothing about Christianity. Just as an example, Trump is on public record as saying his favorite Bible verse is the Old Testament's "An eye for an eye" which of course Jesus repudiated! The article is fairly short and pretty funny. Here's a pretty good quote: Speaker Ryan and Mr. Dobson, you are both welcome to gamble on Trump—as a casino operator (hardly a job of the spiritually driven), he is well-trained at taking bets. But should you continue to do so, you will be exposed as fools who can be tricked by any carnival barker or, worse, prove the critics of evangelism right: that it has become an empty shell of political babble that has sacrificed its commitment to the Bible for secular power.

I was wondering when someone from the evangelical tribe was gonna call him on his BS!

I am not a Christian myself, but I can recognize one and I know a lot about their theology. I really don't think it has anything to do with Donald Trump. All of his attempts to gain Christian followers is a con game.
Real Christians probably should look into their hearts and really think about choosing the right side. Trump can destroy the evangelical movement just as he is destroying the Republican Party. You Christian-in-name-only folks can have fun at your Trump rallies promoting hate.

The Trump campaign rolled out its first television ad of the campaign, and wouldn't you know, it's fundamentally based upon an outright lie: Here are the lies about Social Security in Donald Trump's new nationwide ad. - LA Times. Now, I know that using the term "lie" is harsh, but in this instance there is no other appropriate word. The premise is utterly false, and demonstrably so, and it is known to be so by the one promoting it = lie. Trump’s false claim that undocumented immigrants collect Social Security benefits - WaPo. Add that to the 41 false claims Trump has already made.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

always remember this
he could shoot someone at high noon in rush hour traffic in ny and they would still support for him
likewise he could preface everything he says by saying, the following is a lie, and they would still support him
he is a god and do not forget it
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

It amazes me that so many who claim to be Christians are ready to follow The Prince of Lies. I don't believe in Heaven but I'm beginning to believe in Hell.
