Churchy folk do not like the terms "shit", "bullshit" and "crap" spewed by their candidates.

"Bombing the shit" out of ISIS and "knocking the crap" out of dissenters are not very Christlike.

1. Trump goes into his hotel room at night and laughs his ass off at the jackasses that

support him.

If you arent rich and you support Trump, he hates you very very much.

Actually, and he laughs at you, actually.

2. Amen, and . . .

[In_The_Wind]

3. Even us New Yorkers don't care for that kind of talk.

[dorkzilla]

5. Fuck that, we’ve elevated it to an art form.

Shit, even my 86 year old neighbor swears like a fucking goddamned truck driver.

[LiberalElite]

12. So do I -

I hasten to add sometimes that my mother emphatically did not raise me this way. She was very strictly against cursing. I couldn't even say "SUGAR!" because she knew it was a substitute for "SHIT!"

[dorkzilla]

13. My mother was a very sheltered girl who was raised in Ireland

by incredibly sweet, god-fearing Catholics and Pops (her dad) was a BIG fella and would BELLOW when he was angry (not often but he was always working so...) so she was incredibly well-behaved. Nary a hair out of place.

Well they moved to White Plains and she met my Bronx born-and-raised dad at a dance. He was a handsome guy who swore (and still does, mostly when he’s discussing Republicans) like a champ, and she just thought that was the coolest thing ever for some reason. So they got married and this sweet little Irish girl started to channel a Bowery-tough in her speech patterns. And so it came to pass that when I got a little older and that new daughter smell had passed, when my mom got mad at me she’d call me a “little fucker”. And so it continues to this day, but now I can call her it back and we both fall over each other laughing.

However, since I deal with the public and have had many a job functioning as a liaison for high-value clients, I can turn it on and off at will. However, left to my own devices I will swear like the little fucker I was born to be.

14. !!!

17. I'm Irish descent too - 2nd Gen.

My mother, while she was dead set against cursing, when SHE got aggravated she'd yell "JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH!" (We were Catholic.) Sound familiar?

[dorkzilla]

20. Yes!

Sometimes when she was REALLY angry, Grandma would yell “Jesus, Mary and Holy Saint Joseph!!!!”

After my parents divorced and my mom re-married a nice Jewish boy, I made one up for him to use when she would say that...his response was “David, Ester and Moses”! Grandma thought that was hysterical, thank god!

I remember Grandma telling me that when she was a lass in County Clare, she got into terrible trouble because her siblings dared her to take the Lord’s name in vain in front of her mam, who owned a little grocers' on Market Street in Ennis. The best she could muster was yell “THE CHEESE IS PRICED” and then quickly add, almost inaudibly, “at sixpence” under her breath. She told me she got the beating of her life.

[LiberalElite]

25. She couldn't get away with it either

I can relate!

[3catwoman3]

4. Claiming that the bible is his...

...favorite book, and then not being familiar with the convention of saying 2nd Corinthians probably did not help.

[jpak]

6. He got it confused with Rich Corinthian Leather

[TacoD]

11. Lol +1 (nt)

[dorkzilla]

15. Worse - he put money on the communion plate recently

He thought it was the collection plate.

And no its not an Onion article!

19. When Trump said months back

that he "drinks his little wine and takes his little wafer" or something, I laughed out loud. I thought, "this guy isn't even TRYING to pander". Or is it that he's so far removed from churchgoing he has no idea how?

[dorkzilla]

24. He never makes any sense anyway

When ever he talks all I hear is “short-fingered vulgarian, short-fingered vulgarian, short-fingered vulgarian, short-fingered vulgarian, YUUUUUGE, short-fingered vulgarian, classy! They love me, short-fingered vulgarian."

[LiberalElite]

27. What's up with the short fingers? nt

[dorkzilla]

28. They're surgically grafted shrimp from a classy Trump casino buffet

After he had an unfortunate accident mistaking a vat of sulfuric acid for a holy water font.

[LiberalElite]

29. glad I asked nt

[haikugal]

30. Have you ever looked at his hands?

Love it Dorkzilla, short fingered vulgarian is pretty much what I think too! LOL

[LiberalElite]

31. Guess I never have - I will now - HERE RE: TRUMP'S SHORT FINGERS

What Donald Trump’s Short Fingers Mean for His Presidency [MJ is jumping the gun a wee bit IMO]

For Achilles, it was the heel. For Samson, it was the hair. For Beast, twas' beauty. Donald Trump may appear impervious to the sharpest Republican barbs, but he has one proven weakness over the course of his four decades in overly public life: stubby fingers.

Trump has presumably had short fingers for as long as he's had fingers, but it wasn't until 1988 that anyone called attention to it. That year, Spy magazine began the practice of needling Trump at every opportunity by referring to him in virtually every story as a "short-fingered vulgarian." ("Queens-born casino profiteer" would also do.) Trump defended his honor in the New York Post, stating that "my fingers are long and beautiful, as, has been well-documented, are various other parts of my body."

32. Maybe he's a Tom Lehrer fan and we just didn't know it . . .

[PersonNumber503602]

7. So that probably explains his recent disallow same-sex marriages crap.

[LiberalElite]

22. The Supreme Court business -

my reaction was - the operative word is "consider". He'd CONSIDER appointing someone to the SC who will make same-sex marriage illegal again. Isn't "consider" a kind of mushy legal loophole-y kind of word that would allow him to "consider" it and then decide not to?
Then again, I don't want him to be elected and find out for sure.

[PersonNumber503602]

34. The actions he'd take as president are definitely something I'd like to keep theoretical too.

[Dirty Socialist]

8. I Agree

Too much foul language will turn evangelicals off.
Also, he seems to be all bluster and trash talk. Sensible policy talk seems to be lacking.

[dorkzilla]

23. "Too much foul language will turn evangelicals off"

Then I’m FUCKING SAFE FOREVER AND EVER!!!!!!

[virtualobserver]

9. He worships Buff Christ

[dorkzilla]

16. I’d hit that. nt

[elias49]

10. He pretty much got shlonged.

[Initech]

18. They're stupid losers. Who needs them?

If we are going to keep winning, America needs to keep winning. That's why you should vote for me, Donald Trump.

[Octafish]

21. Cruz capitalized on that, citing Drumpf's ''New York Values.''

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ted-cruz-credits-attack-donald-trumps-york-values/story?id=36658796

It's easy to see why everybody who knows him hates Cruz.

[madokie]

26. It's been fun watching this idiot

tearing the gop a new one. I suspect his time is about to run out though. I'm sure there will be an epic meltdown when that itme comes too

[Bradical79]

33. Calling them stupid didn't help either :-P

Aparently they're smarter than he thought!
