Republicans will acept a lot of really shitty personal things from a candidate but the two things that they can't stand even more then the rest of america is a loser and someone whos disloyal. The convention is the time for the party to have a "come to jesus" moment and unite against the blue team. No one is ever going to forget what he did and no ones going to trust him enough to vote for him again. He was embaressed in the election but he could have recovered by taking any option given to him to not support trump but to go against him at the convention is a sin republicans won't forget. Man that guy pisses me off now and I have to tolerate Trump being the "conservative choice". Maybe he is done for but would not dare to say for sure. Think that in the end it the non endorsement did help trump to rally more people behind him. Trump would probably do best to completely ignore the issue in his speech tonight. Tonights line-up is awesome. Will be interesting to see what they have to say. | ||

You're not really cleaning anything; you're just preventing the waste from interfering with the atmosphere by burying it underground. So yes, it still pollutes the planet. | ||

One of those subjects would be bible studies. Yeah sure the Republicans didn't mandate that Koran studies should also be offered but don't pretend like there are no other optional subjects being offered by schools. | ||

Are those other optional subjects mandated by the state though? You can't force people to teach your religion and none of the others even if those classes are optional. I'm in disbelief that this is even up for debate. | ||

They just mandated bible study on the tax payers dime. No big deal. | ||
