As a staunch atheist, I am firmly against that. But he was obviously throwing red meat to the Evangelical wing of the GOP to consolidate support from the Cruz fanatics. No need to worry about that "promise".

So David Duke announced he's running for a Louisiana senate seat. The GOP has disavowed him, saying that they don't support his message of racism.
Pretty sure he won't be the last of the KKK to trying to get elected somewhere. Win or lose, Trump's candidacy and message has awakened old demons and legitimized ideas we thought were buried in the past.

I will say that many Evangelical Christian churches are already diving into politics. I remember during the Bush years my pastor would tell people to vote their conscience and when Bush got reelected the pastoral team got up at church one day and said "we won, praise God we win".

I used to think this but I'm not so sure anymore. The way he bashed her foreign policy failures last night was well done. He'll be able to absolutely murder her on that topic. Dude went so far as to say we have to stop trying to nation build
I find it wild that so many of his policies are aligned directly with what the left has been saying. The right only needed to hear his racism and xenophobia to fall in love. They couldn't care less about policy.

Reading some of these DNC emails, you forget that Bernie was actually a candidate of the Democratic Party.

If there's one major positive about our political system it's that we're mostly secular and those who are religious don't let it get in the way of civil rights. Thankfully we don't have to deal with a bunch of biblethumpers trying to push anti-gay laws, abortion and euthanasia restrictions, ...

Word
,yet they caused such a fuss about anonymous "Bernie Bros" online 
Among some of the underhanded tactics revealed in those emails,Dem clowns actually wanted to attack him on his religion
. Right of the GOP playbook

The speech was over an hr.
Gotta be dumb to come in here talking about the part of the speech I watched had nothing about religion
What does Germany have to do with America?
I mean at least reference some shooting here. Donalds entire speech was about how things are at their worst here not the whole world

Well, he WAS an Independent running as a Democrat. I remember last Winter, some people in here were trying to say it wasn't rigged.

My mom left a church last year because the preacher started bashing Obama during his sermons.

Hillary picked Kaine as her running mate, safe but probably the smart choice

Some progressives will probably be pissed and throw out the "DINO" red herrings like crazy
But he is a center left liberal, with a good reputation, speaks fluent Spanish, and a decent debater from what I hear.
He is vanilla, but kinda a french vanilla. As more time went on, the more looked like the right choice.
Picking Lizzybae Warren would have meant losing a Senate seat.
