"I'll keep you in suspense, OK?": The NRA needs to drop Trump TODAY and end the suspense.
Every hour that passes since this sentence was uttered by the NRA's officially endorsed candidate is another hour of NRA-induced and NRA-sponsored suspense.
The NRA needs to end the suspense and clarify where it stands on the US Constitution, now.

The NRA Has Aired 1 in 6 of All Pro-Trump TV Ads
The gun lobby has launched a $22 million ad-blitz to defeat Clinton.
Oct 19, 2016 
As more Republicans abandon their support for Donald Trump, the National Rifle Association has launched a more than $22 million ad blitz to help elect him and defeat Hillary Clinton. As reported by the Center for Public Integrity, the gun lobby is responsible for 16 percent of all pro-Trump television ads aired during this election cycle. The NRA ads mostly target residents in the swing states of Ohio, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, and and are tailored to court women—a demographic that's expected to largely vote against Trump. According to CPI, the NRA has been behind about 1 of every 8 presidential TV ads aired in Ohio in October. (It's aired about 1 in 9 presidential ads in North Carolina and about 1 in 20 ads in Pennsylvania during the month.)</p> snip------------------ http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/nra-television-ads-spending-hillary-clinton-donald-trump |

"When Trump demeans and assaults women, I consider it flat out blasphemy" ( #ChristianWomenPreach )
Dr. Serene Jones “As a devoutly Christian woman, I am deeply appalled and righteously enraged by the demeaning and hateful words and actions of Trump towards women - and towards so many others. As a Christian, I believe that God loves all women and girls and has created us with bodies and lives and hopes and dreams that are truly sacred. We are precious in God’s eyes. So when Trump demeans and assaults women, I consider it flat out blasphemy; it’s against God, it’s death-dealing, not life-giving. God calls women to fullness of life and freedom. Trump, it’s seems, wants to either grope or imprison us.” - Dr. Serene Jones, President, Union Theological Seminary 
RELIGION Here’s Why These Christian Women Don’t Want To Live In Donald Trump’s America PREACH, sisters. 10/14/2016 06:01 pm ET Carol Kuruvilla Associate Religion Editor When women of faith get together, powerful things can happen. This week, more than 700 Christian women clergy and lay leaders signed a letter strongly denouncing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s callous attitude towards sexual assault. They also went one step further by calling out Christians who have stood by Trump and even tried to shrug off his misogyny as “macho” talk that’s “low on [Christians’] hierarchy of concerns.” Well, these Christians are concerned. And they refuse to remain silent about it. The Huffington Post reached out to a few of the women who signed the letter organized by Faith in Public Life, an advocacy group that amplifies the voices of faith leaders. In their responses, many of the women pointed out the Christian men that are often quoted in the press and are part of Trump’s advisory councils don’t speak for all Christians. As the historian and author Diana Butler Bass told The Huffington Post, it’s women who form the backbone of the church. “All the women. The women who preach, the women who write theology, the women who pray, the women who serve ... Those who weep and mourn for the pain they’ve suffered,” Bass wrote. “And that church is rarely heard in public because it is too busy living its faith.” The time has come to listen to these women preach. Join the conversation at #ChristianWomenPreach. snip--------------------- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/christian-women-donald-trump_us_580123d6e4b0162c043bdd7d |

NRA Buys Deck Chairs on Trump's Titanic
(X-posted from GD-2016: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512505933 )
ready for a Republican civil war NRA Buys Deck Chairs on Trump's Titanic Oct 13, 2016 11:58 AM EDT By Francis Wilkinson According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the National Rifle Association this year has already broken its record for political spending, backing the Republican Party with more than $36 million. More than $21 million of that sum was devoted to attacking Hillary Clinton or supporting Donald Trump. "The blitz cements the NRA’s status as a key cog in Republican electoral efforts," reported the Trace. "This cycle, it has paid out more than any other conservative group aside from three Super PACs formed to back GOP presidential candidates." Trump is not looking like a shrewd investment. Republican strategists fear he could take the Republican Senate majority down with him, and even, if he tries extra hard, blow up the Republican majority in the House. Clinton, meanwhile, is more overtly hostile to the NRA than any presidential candidate in history. She campaigns with mothers of victims of gun violence, aggressively champions universal background checks and advertises her willingness to "take on the gun lobby." snip-------------------- https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-10-13/nra-buys-deck-chairs-on-trump-s-titanic |

VP Joe Biden Calls Trump's Alleged Behavior a 'Cardinal Sin'
snip------------------- Biden went on to explain his work in combating sexual assault over his career and why he is so passionate about Trump’s comments, which he made without, apparently, knowing he was being recorded. “My dad used to say the greatest sin of all is abuse of power, and the cardinal sin of all is a man raising his hand or taking advantage of a woman,” Biden said. “And here’s a guy who says, ‘I’m a star … so I can go in, intimidate women into allowing me to assault them and assume they’re not going to say anything.’ That is the ultimate abuse of power, and I don’t understand how anyone can remotely justify that.” snip------------------ http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/vp-joe-biden-calls-trumps-alleged-behavior-cardinal/story?id=42771735 |
