(I think they're more insane than giddy)Carol Heinecke bundled up in her blue parka, put on a red "Make America Great Again" hat and piled onto a shuttle bus along with a few family members and friends eager to welcome President Trump to Pittsburgh on Thursday afternoon.
"I'm thrilled to see President Trump in person," said Heinecke, 57 ...
She said Trump appeals to her for being a "strong conservative Christian" ...
Heinecke shrugged off questions about mounting concerns in the past week over whether Trump may be racist ...
"Frankly," chimed in her husband, John Heinecke, 60, "I met him (Trump) in person when I worked for IBM, and he's a gentleman in business, and that's all I would say about that."
The couple attended the arrival event with their 26-year-old son, Jimmy Heinecke, who said he "supports everything (Trump) stands for."
"He can be a little bit of a loose cannon sometimes, definitely, but I mean, I think we're all like that sometimes," Jimmy Heinecke said. "Locker talk, that sort of thing.
"It's just human nature. People say things that they wouldn't want to in another situation."
The White House invited about 150 Trump supporters families with young children, deep-pocketed donors, veterans, college Young Republicans and local GOP officials to attend Trump's arrival ...
Trump spent several minutes shaking hands, taking photos and signing autographs.
"He was friendly, very friendly. He shook my hand, he was just making comments, signing people's hats," said John Eizenhafer, 64 ...
"He sounds like he's for the working man."

I grew up in PA in the 1950's and 60's. It's sad to see how it has shifted to the right.

(6,288 posts)7. Lol. Sadly but true. It'll fit right in with his other mob related businesses
Porn, weapons, laundered money, drugs, human trafficking, property.
Every criminal enterprise from local gangs to international moffia exists by one or more of these types of businesses.
Its their Signature.
Trump's probably taking a cut of her profits.
That's pretty much how he does business.
Ugh!

Nowhere in the New Testament is there any allusion to, or depiction of what a "conservative Christian" might entail. Many references to Pharisees, hypocrites, and a whited sepulcher analogy, but the "conservative Christian" bit would seem to be a contemporary fabrication, in not oxymoron. I do get the "strong" part, which is what happens when raw fish gets left out for too long.
