The Never-Trumpers of every stripe still don’t get it. Ten months after his historic defeat of Hillary Clinton, those opposed to Donald Trump—whether from the political right, left, or middle—have yet to grasp why so many Americans—especially evangelical Americans—have embraced, or at least tolerate, the politics of the Man from Manhattan. As my wife (and chief editor) pointed out when I began this piece, “It’s really a no-brainer. There was no other option.” But nevertheless, to those dulled by their disdain for Mr. Trump, let me explain again our continued support for him.
First, let me make this abundantly clear: as passionate as we are about our politics, we understand well that the cure for what ails this nation, and this world, is as far above politics as the north is above the south. Dwight Eisenhower put it well when he declared, “Never let yourself be persuaded that any one Great Man, any one leader, is necessary to the salvation of America.” Thus, when we pull the lever, or tap the screen, for any man or woman, for any political office, our expectations for what they can or can’t accomplish are always tempered by the notion that our real problems are spiritual and require spiritual solutions.
Of course, such thinking stands in stark contrast to those who have put their hope in the things and the people of this world.

“It’s really a no-brainer. There was no other option.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For decades since the last amnesty, we have been given amnesty candidates from both parties.
They agreed on open borders and no enforcement and actively worked to prevent the citizens from doing anything about it.
Trump is our only shot at restoring the rule of law and keeping our country.
No one was talking about enforcement before Trump announced.
All of the other Republican candidates had backed some type of “Immigration Reform” which is code for amnesty.
When it comes to “immigration reform” I’m not convinced Trump wouldn’t go there to “get things done.” We’ll see.
Why not ask why Christians supported Bush when he lied about Islam, expanded the role of the Feds in Education, escorted the Saudi family onto a plane the same days as 911, and endured the duplicity of Pakistan.
Which is true but still, I like his lack of pretense.
What you see is what you get.
And I like most of what he is doing.
At least this time with the *There is no other option* we have an option that we can live with instead of gritting our teeth as we say it.
