Franklin Graham says he won’t endorse Trump in GOP primary race
The Hill ^ | 01-23-2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

Posted on 01/23/2023 1:00:32 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Evangelical pastor Franklin Graham, a longtime supporter of former President Trump, says he will not endorse Trump — or any candidate — in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.

“I’m going to stay out of it until after the primaries have finished,” Graham told CBS News on Friday at the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C.

Graham also told CBS News that it was an “easy decision” not to endorse someone during the 2024 primaries.

CBS noted Graham doesn’t generally endorse primary candidates, but his remarks come as tensions have been rising between evangelical groups and Trump in the months after he announced his third bid for president. Trump said in an interview earlier this week that evangelical leaders are showing “signs of disloyalty” because they have yet to endorse his 2024 campaign.

It’s too early to endorse anyone. A tough fought primary is exactly what’s what we need.

I’d be surprised if Graham was worth only 10 mil.

Why would this guy’s opinion matter more than any citizen’s opinion in matters like this? It’s like taking financial advice from a chemist. He has no particular qualifications that people should seek his opinion for in elections, as far as I could see.

In a choice of civil leaders, all with personal issues or character and or widom, then in a culture war gone hot it comes down choosing a captain for a ship who is going to overall sail in the direction you want it to go in. Thus it comes down to who has the most Biblical policies and their determination and wisdom in seeing them get thru the battlefield, and whether his negative aspects make another candidate more preferable.

Republicans know that evangelicals will vote about 78% for the conservative candidate even it is a Romney, thus they seek to appeal to liberals and avoid the most conservative candidate. Time for a 3rd party, but post-Christian America is too far left for a realistic chance, as it is now. None of the elections should have even been close, going back to Busk Kerry.

The focus for the Christian needs to be that of 1st century believers, who had civic leaders that ,make ours look moral.

Other than DeSantis, who is the socially conservative alternative?

Pence? He caved on religious freedom in Indiana. He is like Bush. Calling Islam the religion of peace and being buddy, buddy with the Epstein friendly Clintons told me everything I needed to know about Bush.

Hogan, Cheney, Haley, or Christie? Cruise is perhaps closest but who trusts him?

He’s not endorsing anyone at all in the primaries. Leave it to The Hill, which may as well be Media Matters, to go anti-American in their headlines.

Evangelical pastor Franklin Graham,

“I’m going to stay out of it until after the primaries have finished,”

(I’ve heard many people say likewise...they’re waiting until the primaries are over.)

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Sad because I have always liked Rev. Graham. Hope he supports the best candidate to defeat the Dems. We have no spare room for infighting.

The Dems in power will totally destroy freedom of religion. They have shown many signs that is true.

One Dem. official threatened loss of tax exempt status against the Catholic Church due to bishops who made statements against Biden and Pelosi. They withdrew the wording from the later statement.

God Less America by Todd Starnes discusses attacks on mostly Protestant leaders by Democrats.

The “church and state” arguments are the prelude to all out war against religious people.

I was done with Graham when he said Jesus would get the JAB.

Franklin Graham....

The guy whose wife was having an affair with the ‘pool boy,’ and he was okay with it.

The guy whose costume one year would have shamed his father.

Yeah. No. His not endorsing Pres Trump doesn’t scare me off.

Tell you what it does say.....the dEmocrats have more stuff on Franklin Graham......... Just keeping their powder dry.....
