"I'd suggest that we all stop trying to tear down the other conservative candidates in the race and instead concentrate on trying to build up our own personal favorites. Who knows? May even discover an acceptable conservative (if not a great conservative) in the bunch. We've never had a perfect conservative yet. Not even the magnificent Ronald Reagan. We and they all have warts."

This is about the election for POTUS, not God selecting an apostle, high priest or other servant for religious duty (e.g. prophet). And one dimension that God requires before such a selection is repentance before beginning the process of qualification to such an office; not so for a political office (consider King Saul).
