That’s a nice message but I have a few observations.

Where did you see me claim to be perfect. I simply contrasted myself with “the Donald.”

Since you are a Christian, you know about “sanctification.” As I said to another poster, I am “being made perfect.” I am not there yet, just closer than in the past.

You are right. We will not have a perfect government. We won’t until the Kingdom Age. Until then, we must judge one another by their fruits. Good tree, good fruit. Trump falls short. Bad fruit come from a bad tree. He has a record that indicates no moral compass.

Speaking of a “moral compass...”

I see your impressive array of excellent quotes on your FR home page. So I have a question: Have you lost the perspective that you had when you composed that page? Have you walked through those ideals and used them as a measuring rod to assess Donald Trump’s fitness to lead?

This is a big deal! Let’s use good sense combined with experience to make the best choice.

Don’t let yourself get hoodwinked.

You can't contrast yourself with any other of God's creatures without indulging in judgment about a life you haven't led, and blessings in your life that he doesn't have but that you may perhaps be taking for granted. It may not always have been easy being you; but the same goes for him. People have strange notions about what it must be like to grow up with an extra dose of wealth, intelligence or abilities, or to attain extraordinary success, but unless you've lived it and experienced the downside -- the envy and resentment and constant attempts to glom onto you or to pull you down -- you can't really know.

The main issue here is whether his character is a sufficient improvement over Hillary's or Bernie's, in case he gets the nomination. That is really the crux of the matter. I contend that it is; that he has grown as a person and that God isn't finished with him, regardless of how many freepers seem to think they are Saint Peter. It's easy to type accusations that someone has "no moral compass" on an anonymous news site. It's harder to live in the public eye and have your life under a microscope in the newspapers and the business press as he has for the past 50 years. All those kinds of slurs reveal to me is that you haven't really researched any of the many, many positives about the man. Try having a glance around his business web site, especially the video of his grown children.
