How Gary Johnson and Jill Stein Helped Elect Trump
CNN ^ | 11/10/16 | Eli Watkins

Posted on 11/10/2016 7:38:49 AM PST by ek_hornbeck

either Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson nor the Green Party's Jill Stein managed to make a dent in the Electoral College, but they did post a significant enough showing in several states arguably to help elect Donald Trump.

Trump won 290 Electoral College votes to 232 for Hillary Clinton, as of Wednesday evening, with Clinton topping him in the popular vote. But had the Democrats managed to capture the bulk of third-party voters in some of the closest contests -- Wisconsin (10), Pennsylvania (20), Michigan (16) and Florida (29) -- Clinton would have defeated Trump by earning 307 Electoral College votes, enough to secure the presidency.

Give God the Glory! Donald Trump is President because God (YHWH) made it happen! We Christians have been praying for a change of direction for the country and He answered our prayers!

Next stop is the inauguration which will take place when Donald J. Trump is 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days old in the Hebrew year 5777! You can’t make this stuff up because God already did!

The Bible, in its original languages, is the revealed Word of YHWH, the Ain Sof, the Creator of the Universe. The entire Word established the boundary conditions for all significant events in the Universe from beginning to end.

Everyone has free will until they bump up against a boundary condition that involves them. Then YHWH will “harden your heart” and you are stuck with your decision. In Quantum Mechanics it is called “spontaneous symmetry breaking” that collapses a superposition of states into one observed state.

We are very near the end of the Bible. The Revelation 12:1-2 great sign in the heavens will happen September 23-24, 2017. There is strong evidence that the matching verses, 12:5-6 mean that the people who believe in the Messiah’s First Coming, and his imminent return, will be “caught up to God and His Throne” and that the people who believe in the Promise, but missed Him the first time will be protected for 1260 days, from all Hell breaking out on Earth.

If you study the Word, you will find out that “nations” are very important to YHWH, and trying to unite all people in one government/religion, is despised by YHWH. It started with the Tower of Babel, so when the EU made their headquarters to look like a painting of the Tower of Babel, you know they are in trouble.

The United States of America was founded as a nation “ruled by God”, which is what Israel means. Many of the founders thought of it as a “New Israel”. Jonathan Cahn, has explored this extensively, and the events surrounding the 9/11 attack on the USA are compelling, and seem to identify the USA with the Ten Tribes of Israel that were dispersed by the Assyrians.

It is undeniable that decedents of Judah, Benjamin, and remnants of Levi and the ten other tribes that went into the Babylonian Captivity, are moving back into the original Promised Land (The Modern State of Israel). But only YHWH knows where the rest of those Ten Tribes ended up.

So that brings us to what can be happening here in the United States of America in the last year of the Age of Grace, the Church Age, the period between the First and Second Coming, or the two days between the final dispersion of the Jews and their regathering in Israel. It doesn’t matter what you call it. It is here, now.

As the Word says will happen in the Last Days, almost all the organized churches have fallen away from the original Gospel, to one degree or another. That means that there are a lot of Lost Sheep out there to be gathered in before the final harvest.

So what has YHWH done? Well, in the rest of the world He is gathering them in the old fashion way, but allowing Lucifer to persecute the Hell out of the Christians. This really spreads the faith, as it did in the Days of the Apostles.

With the United States, all fat, dump and happy from His material blessing, and now under the governmental control of the Luciferian New World Order, and their fly attracting leaders, He needed a different approach.

His answer appears to be one Donald John (voice crying in the wilderness, get it?) Trump who appears to be a melding of Samson, Cyrus and Nehemiah.

Read Judges 13-16 and then look at the characteristics Donald Trump shares with Samson: Doesn’t drink, ever; has really wild hair; is really harsh if you treat him badly or unfairly; ran around with a lot of foreign women.

You can read Isaiah 45 (FORTY FIVE! get it) to find out about Cyrus, a gentile who was God’s Instrument in punishing the Babylonians, and returning Judah back to Jerusalem.

Of course, Nehemiah was the one whom King Artaxerxes, sent back to Jerusalem to actually BUILD THE WALL (get it?) and after that to bust up the corrupt establishment and restore the Law of Moses to the land. Read the whole book of Nehemiah and think of how it could be paralleled in the first few months of a Trump Administration.

So, I think that if we all listen closely to what the Holy Spirit is telling each us Members of the Body of Christ to do, which may include working hard and praying for Donald Trump, then I think we get a Nehemiah period before we are harvested and the Luciferian New World Order folks get their wish to be rid of us, and to have the world all to themselves.

That’s right; the third parties were leftist parties - and one (the Green Party) was the same one that cost Gore Florida in 2000. The enemedia’s talking heads talk about problems for Republicans, but this is the second election the Democrats have lost in this manner: The left is currently fractured, not the right (though they didn’t turn out for Romney in 2012).

This ignores the fact that Trump won his leaners back from Johnson and that Clinton didn’t.

If,if,if...If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass. Do they remember when Ross Perot helped Bill Clinton win two terms?

All of this anti-Trump post election "analysis" only aids and abets the crazies out on the streets.

Why are they assuming that those third-party votes would've gone to Mrs. Clinton? I thought of them mostly as people who despised hillary as much as we do, but felt they had no place to go. If they hadn't chosen one of them, they mostly would've written in Sanders, Kucinich, some backstabbing globalist, world peace (or whatever) or stayed home.

I agree with you. These voters would have voted for Clinton if that was who they wished to vote for. The same ballot that contained Gary Johnson's name and Jill Stein's name, also contained the name of Hillary Clinton. Voters made their own choice as is their right.

"Pundits" do not have the right to force people to vote for the pundit's choice of candidate.

That must’ve been around the time they pounced on him for Aleppo.

Great post. In addition to being exceedingly thankful to God for Tuesday’s outcome, and a real answer to the prayers of many of the elect, I genuinely marvel at how God seemingly raised up the perfect person for this specific moment in history.

Newsflash for all you liberals: Hillary didn't lose because of Gary Johnson. Hillary didn't lose because of Jill Stein. Hillary didn't even lose because Obama waited too long to hit the campaign trail for her.

Obama won Ohio in 2008 and Pennsylvania in both 2008 and 2012. Trump won both of those states. What that tells you is that even a substantial number Obama supporters couldn't stand the thought of Hillary as President.

In fact, the sole reason Hillary was the Democrat's nominee to begin with was that the DNC only allowed the unelectable crackpot Bernie Sanders and no-names like O'Malley to challenge her in the primary (and even Bernie proved to be a viable challenger). Even some liberals want candidates who are at least not blatantly corrupt and somewhat likeable.

-- Losers always need a scapegoat. --

And they always find one.

The same story would have been written if the outcome was reversed.

I heard that all over talk radio...just a meme about big, bad Trump getting his feelings hurt. My money is no truth to it at all.

Neither Jill nor Gary are the story here. The important issue that conservatives need to get in front of is the idea of run-off voting that was being pushed before the elections.

Just like the attacks on the electoral college method, knowing popular vote will tend to swing their way, they are working on one of their long game election subversion methods.

They are taking advantage of this window in voter anger to offer this is "proof" to the low information voters that Hillary could have won if we ran elections "the right way".

Many “nevertrumps” ranted proudly that they would vote 3rd party.

Castle, McMuffin, Johnson etc.

Any estimates out there on voter fraud votes -—that could have affected the popular vote?

That was Karl Rove’s line on Fox last night.

Don’t blame me and my incompetent bumbling pollster friends.

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein....that’s who REALLY swung this election to Trump.

Yeah...RIIIIIIIGHT!!

The article is complete nonsense.

Trump lost Maine, Minnestota, and Nevada *because* of the small government voters going to Johnson.

Libertarians are not going to vote for Democrats!
