[Hoot Gibson]

I'm not saying that there is not a wealth of negative information floating around on the internet about Donald Trump. One of Trump's most staunch critics is Glen Beck, who I believe made a hard right into the twilight zone when he was converted to Mormonism. The true story of how the leader of the Mormon faith, Joseph Smith, came to his divine revelations is a bit of an eye opener to say the least.

From my perspective, most of the Trump flak is unsubstantiated and unfair. Like you I can name those of seedy repute who are known cohorts of Mr Obama. I can't seem to name any for Trump though, and if he is or will in fact, push for a single payer health care system why has Cruz not taken him to task? I mean, it is certainly not for lack of opportunity, as it has been flame on between them since the end of the bromance. I have seen charges made online that suggest Trump will try to initiate a single payer system, but I've yet to see anything credible to substantiate that. At any rate, revelations of that sort are what the primary season is all about. One would have thought a Jeb Bush or a Mike Huckabee would have brought all this to light by now.


Dr Piper is the one who initiated this whole deal of reaching out from obscurity and the innards of Wesleyan's ivy covered and hallowed halls to diminish Trump. So protecting his students was a non factor. He wanted to slam 'the Donald' and he did, just as sensationally as his imagination would permit.

None the less if what you say is true, the rest of the field has an obligation to reveal things like that to the public.

We all have an obligation to educate ourselves before casting votes. Ted Cruz has been making the case against Trump, although he has been running a very positive campaign. Aside from Jeb Bush's feeble attempts to return Trumps endless string of personal attempts with insults of his own, most of the other candidates have been busier attacking each other than making the case against Trump, Hillary, and Bernie.

Dr. Piper has the same right to engage in public debate over the directions of our country as any other American citizen. There is a long tradition of religious leaders participating in the selection of presidents. Dr. Piper did nothing more than write an article explaining his opinion of Trump speaking places of worship. I just offered his article as an example of the widespread opposition to Trump in religious circles.

You seem to think that most of the criticism against Trump consists of rumors and innuendo. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although I had planned not to share the mountain of documentation against Trump, much of which consists of Trump's own admissions, I will create a new thread and document the reasons that I will never, ever trust Trump or cast a vote in his favor in any election. If I help one voter from making the mistake of voting for such a potential tyrant, then it will be worth my time.
