The single most amazing sentence from a focus group of Trump supporters

The Washington Post has the article The single most amazing sentence from a focus group of Trump supporters.

Follow the above link to the article to see the amazing sentence and the analysis of it. I hate to steal the article’s thunder, but I couldn’t resist quoting the sentence. The least I could do was put a spoiler alert around it.

The headlined sentence
He’s like one of us. He may be a millionaire … but beside the money issue he’s still in tune with what everyone is wanting.

So this explains it all.


Catholic Nun Explains Pro-Life In A Way That Will Stun Many (Especially Republican Lawmakers)

The Daily Kos has the post Catholic Nun Explains Pro-Life In A Way That Will Stun Many (Especially Republican Lawmakers). The post highlights this quote from Sister Joan Chittister, O.S.B.

I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.

This expresses what many of us who are both pro-life and pro-choice feel.
