Support Trump or Clinton. That is the only choice at hand. Sitting on the sidelines is no different than supporting Clinton. Defeating Clinton will require everyone.

OK, so make your case that other than Trump’s statements about abortion (which some of us take as pandering) and Merry Christmas, on cultural issues Evangelical care about, he is much different than Clinton policy-wise. Issues such as Gay Marriage, Religous Liberty, creating economic conditions that encourage flourishing familes for all classes and races, freedom from contributing to government support of behaviors we have sincerly held religious beliefs against, freedom of religion and assembly, welcoming faith back into the public square, compassioante solutions to poverty and immigration issues (the fasted growing congregations among evangelicals are now ethnic congregations). I know the fight is over, now it is getting the team off the bench, so I am sincerly asking for help in how to think about these things, especially when leading lights like Moore are so anti-Trump.

We hear this from Trumps supporters ad nauseum but their constant trashing of anyone who disagrees with them reveals they don't believe the truth in their last sentence.

Dana Loesch (radio commentator and Cruz supporter) has said the people who echo this need to give non-Trump supporters better reasons to vote for Trump rather than simply stay at home the way evangelicals did with Romney.

For now the "us or Hillary" comeback is simply not enough to get others into the fold. Maybe by November, they'll get there but they aren't there now.

Leading a party means giving folks reasons to vote for your candidate, not simply reasons not to vote for your opponent. Otherwise, you'll have a large group of people who didn't vote for either.
