Warren Buffett: Trump won’t be a flash in the pan

CNBC.com
Warren Buffett said Monday that fellow billionaire Donald Trump has a solid base of support in the race for the Republican presidential nomination that seems unshakable by the real estate mogul’s controversial comments.
Trump will have a block of delegates when the convention arrives, but with the huge field of GOP candidates, it’s possible no one will have a majority, Buffett told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in an interview.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if [Trump] maintained a quite a solid base for some time,” Buffett said—adding that he won’t run out of money.
Trump’s latest controversial comments were about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, following Thursday’s GOP debate.
According to the latest NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey, however, Trump remains at the top of the list of GOP candidates among would-be Republican primary voters.
The overnight poll was conducted for 24 hours from Friday evening into Saturday.
Buffett—a Democrat and supporter of Hillary Clinton—called the GOP race so far a “spectator sport.” He declined to say which Republican he’d like to see Clinton face in the general election.
“If I gave that prediction it would be sort of a kiss of death for the candidate,” Buffett joked—saying he’d like Clinton “to run against the whole field.”

Today’s Inspiration

Listen Carefully

And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you the more [besides] will be given to you who hear.
– Mark 4:24

The Bible says that in the latter days many false prophets will rise up and tell people what their itching ears want to hear. People will search for one teacher after another who will tell them something pleasing and gratifying. To suit their own desires, they will turn away from hearing the Truth and will wander off into listening to myths and man-made fiction (see 2 Timothy 4:3–4). They will turn to methods that may be called “spiritual,” but are not safe in God’s Kingdom. They are “spiritual,” but they come from the wrong spirit!

Never before have we seen such an influx of psychics vying for a ready ear. Television shows feature mediums who claim to communicate with people who have died. These people are actually communicating with familiar spirits who tell half-truths about the past and lies about the future. This is strictly forbidden in Scripture (see Leviticus 19:31). God says He will set His face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists (see Leviticus 20: 6–7), yet Christians still read horoscopes and consult psychics—then wonder why they live in confusion and don’t have peace.

We must realize that it is wrong to seek guidance for our lives through anything other than God Himself. In fact, our seeking guidance through other sources offends Him. No one who does so will have the peaceful, joy-filled, blessed life God intended.

If you have been involved in activity of this kind, I urge you to thoroughly repent; ask God to forgive you; and turn away completely from such practices. God alone has all the answers you need, so go to Him and let Him give you the guidance and encouragement you need.
