Reluctant or not, a vote's a vote.

its all about turnout - evangelicals are the group that wants to win the most, and they hate liars liked Crooked Hillary.

Ohio I am sure is wanting to make America Great Again.

let’s face it, Mr Trump is not an evangelical nor does his life particularly appeal to evangelicals

BUT he’s obviously a thousand percent better, more moral... than HilLIARy the Crook

and most voters see it, too.
Mr Trump is gonna get MANY usually-Demo votes (workers, evangelicals, blacks, Latins, you name it, and yes even women... who realize that despite her apparent chromosones HilLIARy has been very, very hostile to women her BillyGoat’s raped or otherwise treated badly

HilLIARy is not a genuinely attractive “women’s candidate” and women see it, too

I suggest they get over themselves because Jesus isn’t going to swoop in and make up for their inability to stop the slide of religion in this nation, nor the influence they have over events.

Hey Pendergrass...it’s not dumb to oppose mass illegal immigration.

Maybe in Southwest Ohio (Boehner country!) you haven’t experienced the Wonderfulness of being Invaded, but..trust us. It’s not a good thing.

Trump is the smartest guy who will take that office in 35 years.

Many evangelicals don’t know much about Trump, the Republican businessman, developer and reality-television star.

Something strikes me as completely false about this.

Who the hell doesn't know about Donald Trump? LOL.

Trump was Viars’ fourth choice. But, like Shope, she said he’s the better of the final two.

This point, on the other hand, strikes me as absolutely true. Many (maybe even MOST) of Trump's current supporters would say the same thing.

If God could use Abraham, David, and Saul known as Paul, then God could work with the likes of Donald Trump. Phyllis Schlafly’s last revelation was that Donal Trump was America’s Last Hope. I agree!

I drove from Cincinnati to Portsmouth along the Ohio in rural southern Ohio Saturday. I have never seen such a concentration of political yard signs. 100% Trump as far as president. Along this 110 mile trip you pass 9 coal fired electric power plants. These people know there might only be one thing you can take the bitch’s word on, she will kill their jobs.
The dims will really have to GOTV of the dead of cuyahoaga county to counter the rural vote in Ohio.

I don’t get the reluctance. TRUMP has promised to vote for pro-life Supreme Court Justices, do away with the tax laws that hobble free speech in the pulpit, and give protection to Christian beliefs, do away with government funding for Planned Parenthood, do away with Common Core...

What other candidate stood publicly for these issues. Could it be that all obstacles would be removed that keeps them from standing publicly for righteousness?

As a evangelical, I too had great reserves about Trump...

Bottom line is he isn’t running for minister of the country and Hillary as POTUS simply can not happen...

He has grown on me quite a bit since the primaries were over, as the buffoon act disappeared and the real Trump came though.. I was looking for a Christian and consitutionist...both which Trump registers on the low end of the scale...

The man has my vote as many of the fellow christian I know do as well..

I agree, I’m only voting for Trump because of the Supreme Court.

“I suggest they get over themselves because Jesus isn’t going to swoop in and make up for their inability to stop the slide of religion in this nation, nor the influence they have over events.”

I have asked such people if they’d vote for King David or Solomon since they were known philanderers. If you apply the test they use on Trump to men who were called “Great men of God” in the Bible you get some strange results. They need to rethink their purity test

Maybe because he's new to all this.

I agree. Trump may not be the hard-core Christian many here wish the GOP's nominee would be, but he will fight tooth and nail to protect the rights of those who are Christians. Most of these principles become moot if we are unable to protect the citizens of our country.

A hard core Christian like Ted Cruz could never ever win a national election. Canadian or not

Be prepared to be disappointed. I have no faith that he'll follow through on anything of that sort.

I'm voting for Trump because I want to see the entire wretched political culture in Washington turned upside down.

God even used King Cyrus of Persia as one of His many annointeds (messiahs), Cyrus helped the exiled Jews return to Jerusalem of course

so certainly He can use Mr Trump (and I daresay, He’s a LOT more likely to use DT than he is HilLIARy the Corruptess!) I still can’t get over just how low the D party machine (and you can toss in the GOP-e) has sunk these past few years... they DEFINITELY need a thorough Housecleaning !!! maybe the RICO act can be used to clean up the political bosses and their foreign enemy Moslem donors?
