If someone had hope the Popes statement would decrease Trumps polls you may think twice, even more Republican will vote Trump on Saturday.

As we have discussed in this very thread the power of the pulpit to sway a vote. Personally I believe the Pope should not use his position in such a manner as he did concerning Trump.

Agreed....politics and religion can be a very volatile mix.

If he were my friend i'd tell him that at every opportunity. If you can't be honest with your friends you can't be honest with anyone.

I rest my case concerning the pulpit and politics.

The pope is a hypocrite, the biggest walls are around his palace in the Vatican. How many refugees has the Vatican taken in?

Two families of Syrian refugees so far I believe.

Heard this on the radio today.

Does Donald Trump read the Bible.

No.

Why?

Cause he's not in it.

Considering if you add up all the territory of the Holy See you would be hard pressed to even make 5 sq miles, there is not a lot of room for refuges.

However, the Holy See is helping coordinate refugee efforts among several countries.

Donald does not like to write about himself.

The Popes comments are a drop in the bucket when you consider the sway that some religious groups have over politics in the US. The two go hand in hand.

So hypocrites abound when it comes to the two subjects, on all sides.

5 sq miles is enough room for 100 families, plus all the churches they own and lands they own could hold many more. Still, they should take down the wall and let people come and go as they please. People should not be hindered from going where they wish.

In other news it looks like Clinton has got it for the Democratic run in Nevada. Another hour before we get the news from SC.

EDIT: Looks like Trump has taken it...well, that's screwed my points...You had one job, Cruz...one job!!
