Should Christians Vote For Donald Trump?

For many Christians – Donald Trump is like a bucket of store-bought chicken at a Wednesday night church supper. It may be a culinary heresy – but folks will still eat it.

That’s the best case scenario for the Trump campaign as they try to woo wary Evangelical Christians. Many are still not convinced that the man who has had more wives than there are letters to the Corinthians shares their view from the pew.

It’s not just the #NeverTrump crowd that is causing the campaign to worry. It’s the unknown number of Evangelicals who may stay home on Election Day.

A popular quote by the renowned pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon has been trending on social networking websites.

“Of two evils choose none,” Spurgeon once said.

But is that really our best and only option – to throw in the towel? Do Christians get to claim the moral high ground by electing President Hillary Clinton?

“The idea of not voting – you’re sacrificing your Christian worldview on the altar of political expediency,” said Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. “It is silly to talk about not voting for either candidate. Every single Christian should vote.”

Franklin Graham, the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said Christians need to take a stand in 2016.

Divorce, while a rough such subject to me whose partner decided to leave me to raise the kids and pay for the house and still pummel me with her "opinion", I've had the worst of "evil", and won. I of most all need a person like President Trump to make it possible for manufacturing and other jobs to return to the US, and to make America Proud and Great Again.

Billary the criminal and Sanders the Communist are NOT going to do that, PERIOD!

Please open your eyes.

I personally don't know anyone that isn't divorced at least once. If they are married then they probably have cheated.

929, dude, you really believe that folks like Trump want to pay a livable wage and benefits to american workers when they can pay crumbs to an Asian worker?

And please tell me when is this mythical great time? Honest question here.

633, Honest answer, Dude, do you really think queen Billary, a known treasonous criminal and an admitted communist who thinks bread lines are a good idea will change their spots and bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S?

At least Trump has tens of thousands of employees right now who are happy with their living wages and benefits and are happy in their jobs. Trump is walking the talk, and nobody there is on strike.

Honest enough for you?
