hubiestubert: Because pandering to the Religious Right worked out so well the last two times?

hubiestubert: Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining watching a self-unaware candidate who lacks anything remotely resembling shame trying to spin his record for mismanagement and crippling debt, as well as SEC case after case brought against him, but how is a man who has made--and lost--fortunes in gambling and oddly enough the prostitution retreats of his Trump Towers and other properties have turned out to be, going to really play with the Religious Right?

Sorry for not responding to both bits of your post at once.   For this part, I would have to say that Religious Right types seem very willing to forgive the sins of others, provided their name is followed by the letter (R).

hubiestubert: Yeah, he can do what he did the last go around, and try to work out book deals out of a campaign, not to mention skim and misappropriate funds from his campaign directly into his own pockets, but let's not pretend that's a "Presidential run" any more than Sarah Palin will ever seek elected office again, without having a hand out to drop out of the race, or to swing gullible votes towards those maladroit enough to consider her anything more than a roadside attraction...
