God didn’t so this. We the people did. He doesn’t choose for us.
I'm not saying God "did this", but nothing happens outside of God's plan and purpose. He knows the end from the beginning. Even though we have free will, there is nothing we do that surprises Him or that can somehow foul up His plan. It's a mystery. And you are right, WE the people have the leaders we elect (at least that's supposed to be how it works), but even this fits into His plan and we have to trust Him. I've been praying for months for Obama to lose, but he didn't, so either God doesn't hear our prayers, He doesn't care about what we bring to Him in prayer or He DID hear and He DID answer our prayer. I prayed for God's will to be done, so I trust that it WILL be. Obama might be able to steal an election but he cannot steal my hope.
