Never Trump Republicans plotting to back Biden

[sneakypete]

And that’s why...IMO whoever is as the top of the Dem ticket will have Julian Castro as their VP...to try and take Texas.

@txradioguy

I am only vaguely familiar with Julian Castro. Mostly name recognition.  Where does he stand,generally,when it comes to being conservative? Left,right,or somewhere in the middle,leaning more one way than the other?

His last name tells you everything you need to know about him.

It tells me nothing. I have had friends with similar names that were VERY conservative.

Go tongue wrestle with a priest. The Catholic Church is one of the most evil institutions since the dawn of history,fully matching Islam in all it's horrors.

All are entitled to their opinions w/the caveat they be anchored

Labeling the "Catholic Church an evil institution since the dawn

slander that says everything about you rather than the Church.
Nothing further!!!

This one isn't.  If that's possible, he's worse than Robert Francis.

@Bigun

If that is true he's not going to get much traction. Trump can't run again after 2020,so whoever his VP is will be holding the top spot going into the next primary,and there is not one chance in hell of him winning a primary. Not even after starting out at the top.

Unless of course he lies until he is sworn in,but we all know a politician would never do that,right?

I had not thought that far - txradio you are right, the Dem National Committee and the candidate will decide to do this:  Dem candidate takes Castro early as VP choice to sway more Texas votes to the Dem in the general election.  When Castro is chosen early, he covers the state of Texas, likely doing what Beto did - go to every county in Texas, 254 counties.  That is the main reason Beto almost beat Cruz and the Dem National Committee gave him the money to do it. 

Remember, the Dem National Committee is the power source, the consulting source to devise the plan to win, plus they have money to add to the money the candidate brings in.
 
It should work that way with the Republican National Committee advising the candidate, but Trump does it his way so count the advising out, but they will still give him money they bring in.  Trump/Pence must cover Texas as the Dems will do.  I don't think Pence will go to every county as Castro will, so expect numerous Texas rallies planned in certain towns/cities, to bring in people from the surrounding counties.  They would do well to work with the Texas State Republican Party to devise a plan - not sure Trump would do that.  The Texas State Democrat Party, in the past, has been almost non-existent since all State Offices have been Republican for so long - advantage Republicans in that regard.

Will study this more as we come closer to the serious campaigning plans.

   VP Pence will be so tainted by 2024 it won't matter, it's all over.

@aligncare @Bigun

Both statements are very true,aligncare.

Like I wrote earlier,we can thank Martin Luther and many,many unknowns who suffered and were burned at the stake for being "heretics". It's hard to even imagine the heroism it took for Luther,a Priest himself,to stand up to the evils the Church were doing in the name of the Christian God.

Why don't you give Cromwell a hat tip too?

The Catholics massacred 90,000 Hindus in a day?

News to me.

He is the guy that said the government should pay for men to have abortions. He later clarified that he meant transgender men.  He supports reparations for slavery. He wants to abolish capital punishment. He wants to legalize marijuana. He wants everyone to have 2 free years of higher education and give tax credits to teachers. He supports green energy and a carbon tax. He wants to eliminate the electoral college. He wants to ban assault weapons and buyback guns. He wants Medicare for all. He wants no physical border wall and amnesty for illegals already in the country. He wants to raise minimum wage to $15.

I would be happy to do so if I could remember anything he did.

@Lilamb

I am certainly glad he cleared THAT up!

Suddenly,Uncle Joe Biden ain't looking all that stoopid.


 

He wants everyone to have 2 free years of higher education and give tax credits to teachers.

IMNSHO,EVERY American citizen should have "free" tuition in any pubic school he or she meets the qualifications to attend. Win/win situation for everyone because anyone to takes advantage of this will earn more and pay more in taxes. Also,public schools are kept going by tax dollars,so why SHOULDN'T tax payers be able to attend them without having to pay additional money?

Other than that,that  boy is giving retards a bad reputation.

No,how sane. Islam and Catholicism were competitors and had much in common,including executing or enslaving non-believers.

Islam and Catholicism have absolutely nothing in common and never did until very recently with the current Pope's antics.

Two words,"History Books".

Tip. Look for books with titles like "The Reformation".

@sneakypete I would venture a guess that I have read more of those kinds of books than you have ever seen. You, like everyone else, are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts.

That "KIND of books"?????

Try reading the actual books,not the Catholic propaganda.

Or are you actually trying to claim the religious courts didn't exist,and they didn't do charming little things like boil suspected non-believers in pots of oil,burn them at the stake,or tie them up and then throw them in the river and allow the river to prove their guilt or innocence,because "God wouldn't allow the innocent to drown"?

Then the Protestants came along, starting with Henry VIII (so he could justify his bastards), burned the monasteries, executed the clerics, took land and wealth, and generally one-upped even the Muslims in England.

I get it pete, for whatever reason you hate the Catholics even more than the Muslims, if you call the two equals in any way. Watch the video linked up thread to clear up your misconceptions about Catholics vs Jihad.

@sneakypete isn't about to watch that video @Smokin Joe as it would debunk his preconceived notions and he won't stand for that.

It's unfortunate, because that video pretty much lays out the whole historical deal. By claiming the Catholics are as bad as the Muslims, he might as well suck up the whole Bushite "Religion of Peace" line, too. How bloody ironic.
