"Michele Bachman: 'God raised up' Donald Trump"

“I don’t think God sits things out. He’s a sovereign God. Donald Trump became our nominee. I think it’s very likely that in the day that we live in, that Donald Trump is the only individual who could win in a general election of the 17 who ran,” the former Minnesota congresswoman told CBN News’ The Brody File. [...]

“I actually supported Ted Cruz. I thought he was fabulous, but I also see that at the end of the day God raised up, I believe, Donald Trump who was going to be the nominee in this election,” she said.
Presuming Bachmann is in spiritual tune with the creator of all things (and she must be because she says she is), there are several possibilities here. First, that Donald J. Trump, that Donald J. Trump, the one whose entire schtick is the semi-creative belittlement of any that cross his path and whose entire interior design aesthetic is to use so much gold leaf that it looks like King Midas himself ran around the premises licking things, is indeed the most Godly representation of Godliness that could be found in the modern Republican party. (He was competing against other candidates like ex-preacher Mike Huckabee, of course, who he routed handily.)

Or second, God Himself has had just about enough of Donald Trump's gargantuan ego and is putting the screws to the rest of the Republican Party in a single-minded attempt to teach hairboy a lesson even hairboy won't soon forget.

It's impossible to say. But Michele Bachmann is quite certain that Donald Trump is the new face of the Republican Party because God wants it that way, which adds quite the spiritual twist to this biblically farcical election season.

So Hillary and the Democrats could smack his ass back into the dark ages.

God was wise enough to make Trump the Republican nominee, but not wise enough to find Michele Bachmann a husband who isn't gay.

Ah, but you don't understand. This one nation, under God, particularly the GOP, were given the Donald to chastise us for our sins.

Just last Sunday morning I was bored, and as an alternative to sleeping, I picked up the Good Book and began reading. I turned to Proverbs, chapter 26. The Abrahamic religions, Jew, Christian, Muslim, all share as part of their mythic, the belief that this book is the stenographic recorded musings of the wisest man who ever walked the earth, King Solomon. There I found a couple of observations that could guide me as I approach the voting booth.

Proverbs 26:12 Do you see persons wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for fools than for them.

Proverbs 26:18 Like a maniac who shoots deadly firebrands and arrows, so is one who deceives a neighbor and says, "I am only joking!"

Reminds me of an Alan Sherman song about Harvey and Sheila, who got married after college and eventually "went and joined the GOP 'cause that's the way things go". Somehow, causes and people become less important, and lower taxes more important, as you become more affluent, or aspire to such affluence (for many people, thankfully not all); it's a puzzlement :lol: .

I can see the campaign slogan now: "Back from the dead and ready for the White House! Trump"

Wasn't there a song in the 1960s about "building me up, buttercup, just to let me down"?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
