We need a man of principle and character. Not a charlatan whom we cannot trust.
This is the crux of the problem. We cannot verify with certainty who exactly Trump is.
We are dealing with someone who has had a claimed recent conversion to conservatism. In order to believe that, I need to see evidence beyond the book, interviews, and donations which prove he is actually a liberal RAT.
So that makes his word and the content of his character even that much more important.
I have to have something to decipher who he is. A man’s faith is usually a solid indicator of that. His understanding of his own faith, something five year olds around the world come to a basic understanding of, is completely lacking.
It shows he is being dishonest with something so critical as whom his god is. Combined with the inconsistencies of his past, in my mind it alone disqualifies him as a potential candidate.
