Why Christian voters want more politicians like Donald Trump
New York Post ^ | April 3,2021 | By Salena Zito

Christian growing up in Hong Kong, where she attended the city’s Baptist University and met her husband before moving to the US in 2002. Eventually the family settled in Cary, NC, and Hannah said she has since enjoyed meteoric success as a real-estate agency owner, starting with a $600 course to get her license.

But first and foremost, Chan identifies as a Christian — and that extends to every part of her life, including politics.

“My beliefs go with me in the voting booth,” she said. “Christians want to support the leader who will have a backbone. And who will stand up for all others to protect religious freedom. That protection is why my family came to the United States.”

For her, that meant a vote for Donald Trump in 2020, and she isn’t alone. White evangelical and conservative Christian voters robustly supported Trump’s reelection last November. Exit numbers show he earned 76 percent of their support — just 5 percentage points less than in 2016, according to exit poll data.

Trump also carried the Catholic vote by 15 percentage points over Biden, a practicing Catholic, although that support was far less than the 33 point margin he beat Hillary Clinton with in 2016. Trump’s rough talk may have put off some religious voters the second time around, but many forgave him for his rhetoric, said Pastor Andy Doll, who runs the Bible Baptist Church in Prairie du Chien, Wis.

“We all fail,” Doll said of Trump’s rhetoric. “I mean, really, outside of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have yet to meet a perfect candidate or a perfect Christian.”

A post 2020 election Gallup survey showed about one-fourth of all US voters are white evangelical Christians. The other quarter define themselves as non-believers,

Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake Christians out there like the “Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden”.

Haven't read the article, but imo ...

We love the concept of Christian soldiers and are one or wish we were young enough to be one.

President ATrump is truly a strong leader and boys would do well to look up to him.

I’m almost at a loss to read this article. Who in their right effin’ mind would believe CornPop, Harris or any other Dem?

The man is a proven liar. Oh yeah, this time it’ll be different.

WTF is wrong with these people.

I think one of the things that is lost in all of this is the fact that most of these folks start out small. Maybe a county commission or state House seat. Then they start climbing. During their ascent they have to get vetted by the state GOPs are some of the worst RINO/GOPe/Chamber of Commerce/UNIPARTY/corrupt SOBs around and are the reason we get stuck with such lousy choices.

Folks like Donald Trump, Marjorie Green, Bobert, and a small handful of others are hopefully a sign of things to come.

I think it basically has to do with liberty. I’m not sure about other Christian denominations, but one of the primary tenets of Baptists is individual soul liberty. That specifically has a faith connotation “soul”, but the concept of liberty trickles down to daily life. It’s fundamental in the humans God created.

Trump was a proponent of individuals’ liberty.

It’s all about freedom.

The fact that (if these numbers are to be believed) the man actually lost some support of Christians in his reelection bid after everything he had been put through for 4+ years, all that he accomplished in 4 years in spite of unprecedented vicious lies and smears and under these circumstances with all he accomplished so many Christians abandoned him is so very disappointing.
And, yes, I know more than a few Christians who are handwringers and fretted over the man’s rhetoric and his mannerisms.
In fact, I know several that abandoned him because of his behaviour in his first overseas trip where he muscled his way to the front of the pack of world leaders like a boss. This display of Alpha Maleness caused numerous Christians I know much consternation. Nothing else he did afterwards mattered to them. They always went back to that event as un-Christian.

The Bible says, "When the Righteous rule, the people rejoice."

In the 2020 elections the American people said via their votes as they gleefully voted Democrat, "Hell with rejoicing, we wand degenerates to rule us." As they voted to get rid of President Trump. With the help of a lot of fraud [at one time it was called stealing] and the Republican Party they were successful.

Now America is being ruled by degenerates, perverts, liars, and Thieves. A larger gang of degenerates has never been assembled in the history of the World.

It’s just fake news to punt a narrative

I don’t know if President Trump is saved or not. But I will say, he was the greatest President of my life. He exposed the McChristian Bush crime cartel.

I can't wait to vote again for a lying adulterous draft dodger who bragged about his adulteries in his autobiographies and had a wife that posed naked on his plane before they married and posed for lesbian soft porn, the man who sent his state department around the planet asking government to remove restrictions against homosexuality, appointing the first gay cabinet member Rick Grenell, all so I can tell Jesus I was trusting my Savior the most.
