Yeah, my brother is in the same boat because he has 5 grandkids and it works to keep in touch, but does he come up with the strangest shit sometimes, all because some rumor started by a bunch of ignorant kids, so he calls me to see if it's true.

Until the worship dies down I am done. They will have to call me if they want to talk to me.

All the hits I get on Google are for Obama, not Trump

The trump worship makes me sick.

  WHO on this board is worshiping Trump?  Right now he is only  making me somewhat happy.

Here's a couple of sites that are still holding Trump's feet to the fire.

I still dont like the guy. I am getting really sick of the "trump worship" everywhere. Makes me sick.

It's been interesting.  Some of my family members have it hard core.  I've never seen them like this.  I personally could care less about Trump himself.  I'm WWWWAAYYYYYY more into the business/economic side of it, being a business owner and all.  I really do like him punching the media in the face and taking the narrative back in that sense, and his intensity, but I like it because of the positive vibe from business owners right now.

The one thing that really hits my nerve the most  is the anti business culture Hussein has cultivated.  The Bernies and the Warrens getting their asses handed to them has me giddy.

My initial suspicions were running at 9.99 on a 10-scale. This week it's 9.8.

Perhaps all this giddiness and optimism is what some people are mistaking for worship

No, I know worship when I see it.

I think Double D has the right mindset.  There are a lot of people who will follow Trump no matter what, but it's up to us conservatives to maintain our conservative-first attitude.  Trump has a personality that turns some off, and that others like, like any of us.  We all know someone we click with right off the bat, or don't like, before we really know the person.  My personality is totally fine with someone boisterous and narcissistic if they are really good at something and deliver.  That will turn some people off.  I don't think there's a right or wrong, but more that we need to stay balanced.  If he's rubbing us the right way and hitting all the stuff we like, we need to put that to the side and continue to process it logically.  If we can't stand him and grates on us when he talks, we need to process that logically as well and continue to focus on real results he may/may not deliver.

Double D is correct, they're out there, I just did a search for Trump Jesus just o see what might come up, and sure enough...

It has been hard enough for me, as a Reagan scholar, to forebear claims by Trump supporters of alleged commonalities between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Some lost soul, in a fit of madness, composed a list of 15 uncanny "similarities" between the two. The list has gone viral and has been sent to me too many times. I've resisted responding to it, and -- pray God -- I will not need to.

But speaking of God, other analogies are being made by Trump supporters that wrench my stomach so hard that I need to vent as a form of therapy.

It started about six weeks ago when a family friend posted something on Facebook. It was an Old Testament verse, a prophetic one, invoked in the name of and alongside a photo of Donald Trump. I initially thought it was a joke. I will not repeat it here. It's plainly blasphemous.

Then, three weeks ago, another incident during one of my regular appearances on a syndicated Christian talk-show that I do frequently, a wonderful show run by a terrific group of people. I will leave it nameless to spare embarrassment, especially given that they were surely as stupefied as I was. A woman called in with a list of "seven parallels I have discovered in the lives of Jesus and Donald Trump." She informed the stunned host that these were based on her own "research." Here are some of her comparisons:

"First of all, Jesus' father, Joseph, worked hard all his life and he taught Jesus a trade, and Donald's father worked and he got Donald started in the business." Both men worked hard, the caller explained, and taught their sons the same. Parallel number one.

"Second, Donald's words are often twisted, as Jesus' words were often twisted."

Next, the caller pointed to a Republican debate (I'm not sure when this was, if it was) in which all the other candidates rudely ignored "Dr. Carson." (The caller had been a Ben Carson supporter before becoming a Trump convert, as seems the case with many of the type I'm referring to here.) "Donald, very much like the Centurion, went forth and tried to help poor Dr. Carson."

"Point four, the Powers That Be want to crucify Donald, just like the Sadducees crucified Jesus."

I've always been more of the "what do  people see in him" school.

People raved about Obama, about how much charisma he had. Me? Charisma? What charisma? To me he had as much personality as a Dragnet rerun.

People went on and on about how articulate Obama was. For me, most of his speeches didn't reach the level of a 4-H Club skit.

So when people tell me other are worshipping Trump, well I'm sure there are some on the lip part of the bell curve, but they're more likely exceptions rather than the rule.

Same here. In the last year I dumped more sites that went Trumpanzee, had no use for paid trolls, but in all that time, I never really saw what one might even remotely refer to worship, which is why I had to actually go out and search for it.

You ostracized me for seeming to do it.  While claiming I wasn't a Conservative.
