Of course.
What’s the alternative? Joe Biden? Elizabeth Warren? They are not exactly pure and they hate God and their country.
We’re not voting for a new lead pastor. We’re voting for the chief of the federal executive branch of government.
Maybe white evangelicals support Trump because they agree with him on the issues.
What choice does any voter have? It’s not as if we can write in any person we wish, seriously. So choose a flawed man doing right policy or completely wrong and indeed immoral policy across the board.
It occured in the past.
Today, the President is married and isn't an alley cat anymore. By many accounts, he has repented.
I find Trump's personal behavior and utterances up until 2015 to be examples of what I'd advise men to NOT follow. His views on abortion, guns, and women were comparable to that of Rudy (another Manhattan republican) who I couldn't support as a candidate.
But as I noted, there is strong evidence that he has changed. Is it a change of heart or does he remain slimy at heart? I don't know what is in mankind's heart, but considering Trump hasn't slipped like Willard has and other pols, I'm willing to give Trump a nod that he has changed.
Finally, a key element of Christianity is forgiveness. If Trump has repented truthfully, and his actions henceforth comport with him walking away from sin, (in contrast with Clinton) then how can I (a wretch like him, as the song goes) hold him to a higher standard than God? How arrogant that would be.
Good! The evangelicals have finally, as a whole, begun to understand that we are not electing a moral leader, but a political one. Their non-support of Romney (as bad as he was/is) led to the re-election of Obama (worst of the worst, against religious liberty and for abortion, plus weakening the nation, less liberty of ANY kind, weaponizing our security services against political opponents, etc., etc.).
A political leader deals with material things - the economy, foreign relations, the role of government to the people of the nation, etc., etc. The President nominates ALL federal judges, judges who will decide issues of religious liberty and abortion, plus many other moral issues. That President Trump is not 100% morally pure only means that he is human, and thus fallible (just like every religious leader, ever). He’s not there to do anything except safeguard the Constitution, which has provided the framework for the most free and most prosperous nation in human history. That nation, with the combination of its wealth, material power and essential moral goodness, has stopped tyrants of the worst sort from attaining more power and committing more atrocities, and has provided immense relief for suffering everywhere. No, we’re not perfect, not by a long shot - but to paraphrase Churchill, the United States of America is the worst nation on Earth...except for all the rest.
Glad to have the evangelicals on board the Trump train. Right now, the Democrats have the same exact platform that the CPUSA had in the 1960s - and Communism is based upon 4 violations of the 10 Commandments: 1) Coveting thy neighbors goods; 2) bearing false witness (lying); 3) stealing; and 4) murder. Anything that strengthens the Democrats (including evangelicals staying home because politics is not a moral field of endeavor) helps to weaken morality around the world and strengthen those opposed to the most basic tenants of our morals, the Ten Commandments.
Because the personal and public behavior of his dem opponents is much, much worse.
Is anybody else around here tired of the term white ? I sure am
Despite what personal conduct, exactly?
I support the President because of the way he conducts himself, not despite it.
What personal conduct? He has preformed his duties as President of the United States with utmost courage and Truth.
He has exposed the swamp and the hateful media for what they are ( our enemy ) and he has come thru with promise after promise. He will go down as the greatest constitutional President ever! So I say FYTW!
Nice little bit of framing in the lede. “Despite” means that misconduct is a given. Sorry, folks, that doesn’t work anymore.
It is impossible for any Christian to support the current Democrat Fascist party as long as one of their defining issues is tax payer funded infanticide (aka Abortion) up to the minute of birth. That is a deal breaker for any follower of Christ.
Christophobes want Christians to be more pure than they are. LOL
The chutzpah of fake pollsters has hit rock bottom.
IMHO, people who are opposed to President Trump are either ignorant or evil or both.
Way to go, Christian Post. Nice childish conclusion. You’re pathetic and have been for sometime.
The RATs being all in for baby killing is reason enough to reject their candidates.
People don’t realize that the true prize of the presidential vote is judges and generals. President nominates Fed judges and flag officers.
If Trump’s mouth were as effective as his policies, he’d be be way ahead in the polls. Trump’s policies are actually bolder than Ronald Reagan’s, especially on social issues, but Regan was the better communicator.
