Fast-forward to Donald John Trump. After first backing Ted Cruz during the 2016 Republican Primary, I ended up coming over to Trump, as did a lot of Christian conservative Republicans. We admired his “take no prisoners,” “don’t back down–DOUBLE down!” attitude.

God works with us were we are and in the time we exist. Christians do need to stop thinking our representatives for governance on this earth need to be not just Christ like but as perfect as Christ.
Amen.
