    What's wrong with being from the middle/lower class south? What's wrong with not voting for a Democratic candidate?

    Again, we've got this attitude that if you're a white Christian from the south, you have the IQ of a lobster.

    Nice try.

    If you ignore science and do not read, you are not as smart as someone who does believe in science and does read more than 1 book.

    For the record, I am a white Catholic (non-practicing) from Florida.

    So what if they're creationists? That doesn't mean they don't know anything about science at all. That's what Chad assumes you're talking about, or perhaps it's evolution?

    Also, Chad loves seeing the word "belief" associated with science.

    Science isn't something to believe in. It just is. It's supposed to be fact. It isn't a religion.

    Chad believes that you can have an interest in science and be religious at the same time, but that's just C-Wizzy.

    Hahaha, okay, I agree with all but the last sentence.

    To get back on topic and stay with it, does Chad think Trump is religious? I honestly think he is an atheist and plays the religious card for votes. Not saying Democrats don't do this as well though. All politicians have to have a strong connection to Jesus Christ or they do not have a career in politics.

    Chad doesn't care too much about religion in politics. It's a sub-group in the GOP, the Palin's and Cruz's of the world appeal to that demographic. Chad would say yes, Trump is a Christian.

    To be fair, the U.S is technically supposed to be a Christian nation, it shouldn't be a surprise that being a Christian helps someone gain power in the one nation under God.

    Hmm? Separation of church & state? Religious freedoms?

    Not saying everyone in the U.S should be Christian, it's just not surprising many of them are. That's why being a Christian isn't a mandatory for the presidency, it's something those politicians choose to market themselves as.

    h---, the young people of the U.S are atheists/agnostic anyway, much like Germany.

    I believe that Chad is aware of separation of church and state. What he most likely meant by that statement was that although there is separation of church and state, there is no denying that the United States has strong Christian roots and that most of its citizens are Christians.

    We all agree about religion and it's strong-hold over the US regardless of the constitution.

    If Trump loses Iowa, will he quit?

    No. Iowa is a little overrated. Trump should snag Kaisch as his VP so he can win Ohio.

    I see him staying in it for awhile, even if he does lose the caucus.

    By the way, Chad wants to show you something nobody likes to talk about.

    The r-----ed Sarah Palin predicted Putin would invade Ukraine like 8 years ago.



    Chad thinks both McCain & Palin were terrible candidates, but...it's interesting how the media can shove a narrative into your brain.

    I agree, Iowa's main purpose is to convince the bottom feeders of the reality that it's time for them to throw in the towel.

    LOL at 'predicted'.

    Everybody who had a basic knowledge about Europe and Russia had known that the latter could invade Ukraine. That's like saying there will be global financial crisis in the next 20-30 years. That's not predicting.

    I can't believe the Republican Party has self-destructed to the point that they're about to nominate Donald f---ing Trump. If you had told me this a year ago, I would've said "Nah...they're stupid...but not THAT stupid"

    Hillary is an immensely flawed candidate on many levels, and voters get fatigued when one party hold the Oval Office for 8 years, so this is a very winnable election for Republicans. But they can't manage the task of picking someone electable. Watching all of this unfold this year is going to be absolutely incredible
