I swear, what gives you the idea?
You're nothing but a chauvinistic pig.

Many pundits suggest that if you haven’t made up your mind by now on your choice for President, you haven’t been paying attention. They’re largely correct, but there are some (a minority) who are paying attention and are seeing a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. (Apologies to Winston Churchill) This may be best exemplified by David French’s recent column where he quotes theologian John Piper at length. The upshot of his post is that a leader’s immorality destroys society. To that end, he cites “unrepentant sexual immorality,” “unrepentant boastfulness,” “unrepentant vulgarity,” and “unrepentant factiousness” as key markers of unsuitability in a leader.
French’s list is a #NeverTrumper’s transparent slap at Donald Trump. Historically, Trump was a womanizer. His verbal style is boastful and vulgar. He is accused of being a divider. For the one who’s not paying attention, Joe Biden’s claim that this election is about character seals the deal. Vote Biden! But we have to peel back the layers of this onion.
On the charge of sexual immorality, we must compare Trump’s ancient history with Biden’s continuing fondling of women and excuses for his son’s profligate behavior. Recent revelations point to worse. Joe keeps on keepin’ on, while Donald is notably faithful to Melania.
We’ve all heard Donald Trump’s statements about his “tremendous” company, “beautiful” buildings, and “fantastic” golf courses. Supposedly this is evidence of narcissism, a major character flaw. But pundits who have grown up near Trump in Queens recognize this a simply local style. Apparently, many people from Queens speak this way as a daily part of life. Brooklyn has a different flavor, and Indiana (VP Pence’s home) is radically different.

Lenin called them “useful idiots”.
You mean the CORRUPT DC swamp.
David was a flawed champion.
But better be ruled by him than by Goliath.
And the left still defends the guy who stained the Great Seal and was playing hide the cigar in the Oval Office.
First, everyone is flawed. It’s a matter of how that person has responded to their flaws. Second, if someone claims to be, or is represented by others, as unflawed, it’s a sure sign of a deeply flawed deception. And third, the article’s use of the word “upshot.” What a silly word.
the rest of the John Piper keyword, chrono:
Winston Churchill had his flaws, but he was the undisputed champion of the world during WW II.
Never have been impressed with John Piper. While being a very intelligent man, he has always had an overinflated opinion of himself. Piper has many flaws in his theology. Thinks he is the smartest person in the room, but he’s far from it.
Sort of like George Will. Never understood why people thought he is so brilliant; he’s not.
Can you IMAGINE what this would all look like IF Patton was running with Trump???
I am NOT chopping Pence——Just imagining....
The same title would apply to any person as president.
And that’s just Biden. There is a whole second list applicable to Kamala.
..Donald Trump is the greatest President of my lifetime. He has both transformed the presidency and been transformed by it. He is America’s Josiah IMHO...
This is why there should never be a woman President.
I’m tired of this narrative. I’m tired of the constant harping on Trump’s character flaws. I’m tired of “self righteous, smug” people who believe that they have no flaws citing Trump’s personality as some kind of detriment.
I like Trump just the way he is. Any other way...and he’s just another spineless GOP presidential candidate who just wants to be like.
Give me Trump all day long.
Agree 100%. Obama started his political career in the living room of a bomb making domestic terrorist who posed standing on an American flag in the NY Times on 9/11/2001. Spare me the lecture on Trump’s character.
I swear, what gives you the idea?
You're nothing but a chauvinistic pig.
On the other Hand Francis is a better Socialist than Donald Trump could be.
Considering the current Pope, this is a little disjointed comparison. don't you think? {:-)
Piper wouldn’t vote for King David — adulterer, murderer, hater (Psalms 139:22 “Do I not hate with perfect hatred those that hate you? (God)”.
Some Trump “haters” will vote for baby killer, false accuser, pedofile, rapist, liar, Joe Biden.
“...David French and John Piper are wrong. We can’t judge our President on public moral character. We aren’t electing a savior. We’re electing a champion....”
Thus endeth the lesson.
