Especially when women have been marginalized (and you can fit so many other groups in there, from atheists and jews to gay people and hispanics), while Christians definitely haven't. (Even if they feel oppressed because they can no longer force their beliefs on others) I mean I had a neighbor tell me sometime back that he doesn't think a woman could run the country because women aren't stable enough. It's an idea that still needs to be fought against, so when women run for President they kind of have to deal with this sort of shit while almost nobody would probably ever say "I don't think a Christian can run the country because Christians aren't stable enough." It's hard to play the Christian card when all the other candidates are Christian too. That said, Trump has very successfully played the Christian card without being Christian himself (based on everything he says, it doesn't look like he actually believes). --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:932969299] in Politics C...
