    Just one question.

    Who's paying for it all?

    I don't know if he is or not. He seems to respect our Judeo Christian values, unlike most Democrats.

    Again, Trump was elected to be our President, not our pastor.

    Do you have a mirror in your house? Go have a look at it and you will have your answer.

    That seems rather platitudic. Can you explain what you exactly mean by "Judeo-Christian" values and how he applies it to managing the bureaucracy of the executive branch?

    How can you be Christian and have "Hussein" as your middle name? :D

    Only Muslim extremists have that middle name.

    For starters, it means he has demonstrated that he respects the US Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, and more specifically the first clause of the first amendment, which states:

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."​

    Your people certainly don't. Not any more.

    you must have missed this part:

    A Washington Post review of the major spending proposals of the leading Democratic presidential candidates found 10-year costs ranging from about $4 trillion to more than $50 trillion. The annual federal budget now is about $4.5 trillion.​

    Still platitudic as you rally have expressed any examples or details.

    I mean isn't using religous principles to express a desire to limit or ban abortions a violation also? Isn't advocating for Bible classes in public k-12 schools alsoca desired interest in violating those first amendment rights? Isn't stating that our nation is founded ok Christian values a contradiction to the term "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".

    I'm assuming you are referring to cake bakers here?

    I did not miss that can you show me the part where his agenda has the 10 year cost?

    Or don't you understand the difference between a annual budget and 10 year spending proposals?

    If you don't already know it would be a waste.

    Did you actually think I would take the bait?

    Karl Rove is predicting that if the Democrats nominate anyone other than Joe Biden, Trump wins. If Biden is the nominee, he thinks Trump will have a difficult fight on his hands and that the race will come down to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Whoever wins two of those three will win it all.

    Rove also predicted that whoever wins the nomination, no candidate will show up with a majority of the delegates, meaning a real possibility for a brokered convention, and a lot last minute political maneuvering and back room deals.

    Karl Rove predicts Trump win if Biden is not 2020 Democratic nominee

    Karl Rove said he believes former Vice President Joe Biden has a good shot at beating President Trump in the 2020 election if he can win the Democratic presidential nomination. The former adviser to President

    George W. Bush made several predictions for the 2020 election, including that the Democratic convention will be contested. “Pete Buttigieg wins Iowa, but no Democrat arrives at the convention with a majority,” he wrote in a piece for the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. “I pick Mr. Biden to win, but I’d take the field if I could.”

    “Victory depends on Mr. Trump’s discipline and whom the Democrats nominate. If it’s Mr. Biden, Mr. Trump has an uphill fight; if not, the president wins,” he added. “The election again comes down to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Mr. Trump must win at least two,” Rove said.​

    Didn't know Karl Rove cared about the best interests of the Democrat party. Interesting.

    You still don't know that. But he is an objective observer, and not a mouthpiece of the DNC.

    He has fantastic experience with this sort of thing. Likewise for James Carville. I would stop what I was doing to listen to those two share their perspectives on this topic almost anytime.

    But some people only listen to perspectives that reinforce certain party line narratives. While I am not such a person, maybe you are.

    Are you? If not, then it would seem likely that you would see some value in adding Karl Rove's perspective to whatever other sources you are also considering.
