To back Mr. Trump, these voters must repudiate everything they believe.===

Sorry, I can vote for Trump and Jesus is still The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

The media’s defn of Evangelical is their construct.

NY Slimes suddenly worried about the soul of Evangelicals! LOL! Pretty funny coming from a bunch of atheists!

Trump ain't no Hitler. That said, I think Mr. Pitt would be an awesome candidate!

Hatred for political establishments and the power echelons in DC are at a fevered pitch. Trump plays to that brilliantly. He is bloodless revolution.

Not only the media. Other religious fund-raising groups insist on giving us their own constructed definition of who and how an Evangelical Christian has to be.

Trump’s stance on kim davis should concern Christians but then so should what other politicians as well.

No. They just realize that it is better to pick a candidate that will address one important issue Tha claim to support them all this election.

Yes.somewhat. They are more than willing to overlook Donald Trump’s record because he says he will build a wall. Trump says what the evangelicals want to hear, never mind that the current president is there for that very reason.

They are blinded.

>>Most illogical is his support from evangelicals and other social conservatives.

We recognize that the greatest threats to America are foreign invaders and lying politicians.

When you are being attacked by a pack of jackals, kill the jackals first and worry about your manicure later. Trump is killing jackals. The GOP is getting their nails done.

[To back Mr. Trump, these voters must repudiate everything they believe...]

Like the many of GOP-E candidates, the ‘vote for the lesser of two evils’, that we’ve had in the past?

Pray for The Donald to draw close to the LORD for wisdom, strength, guidance, and that he will be surrounded with Godly counsel.

Do you want to elect a pastor or President?


Good question.....President for me.....Pastors have a much more important job or calling.

at the last self-proclaimed so-called evangelical Christian we had, Jimmy Carter, he didn’t do much for evangelical Christian principles.

One can’t be a pro abort evangelical Christian, one can’t be a Christian and support abortion. A Christian cannot support sin.

>>Trump a Biblical Christian? Highly doubtful.

He’s a Presbyterian, which means that he is nominally Calvinist. We know that you don’t have to wear your religion on your sleeve.

RE “..Trump may just be the weapon we need to do that...”

Their reactions tell you that he is, indeed...

Russell Moore has lost his values. He has been pimping for illegal alien amnesty for nearly 10 years now.

Comparisons of anybody to Hitler is over-the-top until or unless that individual kills 20 million people.

The politically connect at the NYTimes and elsewhere discuss this in terms of Democrats vs. Republicans. They cannot believe there is a majority who no longer think in terms of party.

The American People have had the scales fall from their eyes and rightly see things as The Political Class vs. The Rest of Us.

Donald Trump appears to be the candidate with the best chance of weakening if not destroying the current system.

God can change the hardest heart. I believe Trump would listen to someone who is sincere in their faith.
