We must choose a Christian to revitalize America (Stop letting media choose our nominees!)

[dangus]

Look, I'm still voting for Trump. The alternative is just too damned horrifying. And like Churchill said, "Do not hesitate to raise up a flawed man if the circumstances require it."

But consider this: These Trump tapes weren't recently leaked or discovered. The networks have been sitting on them since the primaries. They could've knocked Trump flying back in 2015 if they had wanted to, but they didn't. Can anyone reasonably deny that?

So why didn't they want to? Because they knew they had dirt on him, and they saw him as the easiest way to make sure Clinton was elected president. It's kind of odd how powerful to the "Christian Right" Matt Drudge, the National Enquirer and Milo Yiannopoulos are.

I sure will pray for Trump. He's far from irredeemable. I don't give a crap about "2 Corinthians;" what suggested he was alien to Christianity was his assertion that he had nothing to be forgiven for. Maybe now he understands that he does. I'm very much a big believer in forgiveness and redemption.

I admire that Trump immediately acknowledged and apologized for his conduct on the tape, in contrast to the Clintons conducting weeks-long investigations to figure out how they can limit and spin their crimes.

But at the same time, I believe America needs leaders who can call the nation to renewal and humility before God. But in the meantime, I'll urgently accept the man who holds off Roman or Soviet style persecution.

If you want a different nominee then you need to vote in the primary. Trumps supporters were motivated. The rest were not.

A problem that would have to be dealt with, first, is the current dominance of chruchian CINOs who use Christianity like a social club and force their congregations into outright worship of mammon through supposed ‘reforms’ for social acceptance.

Isn’t it Trump or the highway at the moment? Like others, I’m really getting tired of the concern trolling and limp wristed Republicans and conservatives who are running for the doors. Don’t like Trump, fine, vote for Hillary. Want to embarrass yourself, I guess you can join Ryan, Lyn’ Ted, and the others. It’s a small group, maybe Beck and Kristol can comfort you.

Churchill said, "Do not hesitate to raise up a flawed man if the circumstances require it."

The circumstances ALWAYS require it, evidently.

Trump has become a born-again Christian by recently receiving Jesus Christ according to reliable sources like Dr. James Dobson, so the premise seems to be a bit off.

This time around we had 16 Cheap Labor Express Republicans promising “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” or Trump.

Anyone can run in the primary, and then we pick a winner. Plenty of committed Christians have run in the primary, and some have won the nomination. Bush served two terms. Santorum, Huckabee, Cruz and others have fallen short in the primary. They simply were not the best candidates.

Personally, I’ve backed McCain and Romney in the general against my better desires, but they won and were the best choice in the general. Trump dominated this field in 2016, and he promises to bring great change to a broken Washington. I am fine with that. In fact more than fine.

Hard to argue against that - except to say that

1. Jimmy Carter was a terrible president, and

2. As Rush just pointed out, “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

   The Pharisees in modern politics - including even some RINOs -
   would be after Jesus Christ if He were the Republican nominee.

[WKUHilltopper]

The media are traitors to the Republic. Some of them even got bail outs...so guess who their loyalties lie with? Certainly not the Republic or the People.

[TalonDJ]

Didn’t work with W.
Didn’t work with Carter.
Perhaps we need more than one criteria.

But consider this: These Trump tapes weren’t recently leaked or discovered. The networks have been sitting on them since the primaries.

We do not know who was sitting on them... this release was certainly timed, but who did the timing... I strongly suspect that the Bushes, Romney, Ryan and the rest of the never-Trumpers had something to do with it. I think that this may have been a traitorous coup attempt that failed badly.

[reaganaut]

The problem is the so called Christians who ran (like Cruz) are not really Christians in their behavior. They make us look bad too. I would love to see a real Christian run and run a Christian campaign instead of trading on the name of Christ like Cruz, but I have not seen one yet.

Look, I'm still voting for Trump. The alternative is just too damned horrifying. And like Churchill said, "Do not hesitate to raise up a flawed man if the circumstances require it."

The most in-your-face Christian President we've had in modern times was Jimmuh Carter. Churchill, whom you quoted was not much of a Christian. He was brought up in the Church of England, but was indifferent toward it and he never invoked the help of God in his speeches. And he was the greatest man of the 20th century.

[Mercat]

I just donated to Trump for the first time.

[dangus]

The only religion I remember Bush promoting was the Religion of Peace.
But of course we DO need more than one criteria.

[BubbaJunebug]

I would be happy with a conservative Jew

>> Trump has become a born-again Christian by recently receiving Jesus Christ according to reliable sources like Dr. James Dobson, so the premise seems to be a bit off. <<

So Donald Trump isn’t professing his conversion, but James Dobson is professing Trump’s conversion? Was this before or after Trump said he had nothing to be forgiven for?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Even if not for money, for human approbation or other worldly things.

The message should always be “How wonderful Christ is” rather than “How remarkable my ministry is.”

[dfwgator]

No we don’t. Just somebody who believes in The Constitution.
