The genius of Trump is that those, from all sides of the political spectrum, only see his attributes that agree with their own. They are like a guy that sees a girl that is HOT, HOT, HOT and a wildcat in bed and wants to marry her, in spite of the fact that she is also a narcissistic pole dancer in the first year of Meth usage.

If he marries her it will not end well, though it might be a lot of fun the first week.

Who, here wants to be on the “enemy’s list” of Trump, because on some issues you are, and will be even more if he becomes president.

People really need to think this through.

I think Trump has never in his life known shame. And honestly, that scares me.

This reporter advocate simply forgot he, himself, wrote of muslims celebrating in N.J., the disabled jerk.

Trump Can't Mock Disability, But Obama Did, and Media Yawned

Honestly, whenever anyone writes about “Evangelical Christians should not support __X Candidate that the writer doesn’t support__” I tend to dismiss it completely as just a cheap, transparent attempt to use “religion” to tell me how I should vote.

We need a statesman, not an irresponsible flame thrower, and one can be a strong political leader who is cutting and fearless with words think of Winston Churchill without making a fool of oneself.

Your grammar sucks; Winston Churchill is not among the candidates for this office; and,Winston Churchill was also noteworthy for dealing for his swift, biting, personal put-downs of those who attacked him.

Well, these same people told us that Obama was “Christian”. So now they tell us not to vote for Trump. Not every person who claims to be a Christian is actually a Believer. Look at Bill Clinton as an example and his dandy wife. So it would be okay to vote for them.
I am a Pastor of a church, and I would always prefer a Christian leader, however God can use anyone He wants to bring our Nation back to a Commitment to God and our Constitution. So this guys article doesn't hold a whole lot of water.

The border is THE only issue that counts. We have over 40 MILLION people living here illegally and 75% of them will vote for socialists until they die. They will not assimilate and are bent on erasing our American Christian cukture! Wake up! Soon we will not even be allowed to pray to God while the remnants of our once great Christian nation are cut up and redistributed to all of the third world $hitholes.

The other candidates don’t care about deporting people and will break under pressure of the media even if they tried it. Trump won’t break!

I share Brown’s concerns.

>>Yet there’s something that concerns me even more when it comes to evangelicals...is the issue of pride

A columnist/commentator is a person who is immensely prideful. After all, what is their job? It is to take their opinion and convince others that they should have the same opinion. They all share one common thing, regardless of their politics or their subject: that they know better than the reader. If they thought the reader knew better, then why would they even write?

These aren’t journalists who report facts most of the time and then write an opinion piece from time to time. They are nothing but a bloated bag of ego and opinions. In essence, they are Trump, but with a small “t” because Trump actually builds things in addition to having an ego and an opinion.

So the real question is, “why should an evangelical Christian listen to a person who makes a living pridefully writing his opinions to share with others?”

“[W]e are electing a president, not a pastor” and the author is selling the main-stream media narrative. I’m not on the Trump bandwagon, but I can recognize the stink of a false flag operation. Note the phrase “which could make him unfit for the office of the presidency” - which is it? Say what you mean. Oh, now I get it - divide and conquer - “I cannot understand how evangelicals can back him.” No thanks.

We don’t always get to choose between poor and great, and compared to anyone the Rat party is fielding I know whom I would vote for.

“especially when we have a number of solid, God-fearing, capable alternatives.”

Except that we don’t... We don’t have any other that could even possibly win against the democrat in the general.

And, Michael, you have a right to be wrong in your opinions, but you don’t have a right to be wrong in your facts.

Well, to this NYer, The Donald was a hell of a lot more than a “reality tv star.” Using that is a way to minimize his importance as a captain of industry for over 40 years. And to keep up the obvious lie that he was imitating a disabled journalist lost me by the 2nd or 3rd paragraph.

Ok who is the perfect candidate.

Too may time I seen conservatives and Evangelical Christian’s sit on the side lines and we end up with the likes of Clinton and Obama.

The author needs to consider Trump in relation to the alternatives.

What you think is what you think. Don’t try to sell it as fact to others.

You should really be more afraid if Hillary wins. There are actual facts to support your scary premise regarding her.
