I think Christianity Today has just thrown their principles to the wind in order to get Mike Pence in the White House.

And what’s to stop the Democrats from impeaching him as well?
My bet is they'd find him (far) too conservative.
And, though I read what Galli wrote, I, too, am still searching for principles grounding it.
It cites vague past personal conduct for which the President has not shown remorse.
To my knowledge, a requirement for public repentance of decisions made before taking office is a standard to which they held no previous President of either party.
The Galli piece also suggests that the public "witness" of Evangelicals will be harmed if they do not criticize Trump now and call for his resignation.
As a former Evangelical, I find this ludicrous; in my decades-long experience, believers were to be judged, if at all, on the fruits derived from their faith, not on how vocal they were in criticizing public officials.
As you (and Franklin Graham) suggest, consistency is not something stone-throwers seem to require.
It's all about fomenting guilt in believers that support Donald Trump. The guy that wrote the original CT article was simply a wolf in sheep's disguise. Wanting to ravage the flock after getting rid of the guardian.
