Media interprets intentions etc. Influences the public.

Right, and Trump is a class act. I get it. Everything he's done in his life is a great misunderstanding. The media built that.

You have really surprised me. Twisted what I said again.

I never said Trump had no problems, but you made it look like I said everything he did was a misunderstanding. I never said he was not horrendous in many things, but you made it look like I said anything negative about him is built by media and that he's totally innocent of any wrong.

This is just how things get twisted.

I said, and please look at it carefully this time, media makes it WORSE than what it is. I never said Trump did no wrong. I never said he was innocent, like you claim I did. What I said entails the thought that whatever wrong he did and however bad he is, MEDIA MAKES IT WORSE.

This just goes to show how easily people twist things. I don't think you did it intentionally. But you did it. How much more distorted would media make things out to be if they do it intentionally?

Wow. That's just evil. This election issue is bring a lot of "stuff" out in the open. Amazing.

But if homosexuality is okay, what else would a person think?

concerning Trump. I didn't know how else to take it except you were defending him. He's not an easy person to defend.

The Divide of Evangelical Women During This Election, as Described by Christian Leader

Penny Nance is the president of Concerned Women for America, a legislative action committee.

In a CNN opinion piece today, Nance discusses how this election has divided evangelical women.
Quote:
She made it clear in her public statements that she questioned Trump’s commitments to constitutional principles and conservative values. But she felt the Supreme Court, and potentially a generation of socially conservative policies, were too important to risk on a third-party candidate.
The emphasis there is mine.

Does anyone else pick up on the maddening illogic of that?

She also separated the evangelical women into three camps.

So, Never Trump, Political Hostages, and Branch Trumpidian cultists.

What I find missing from Nance’s classifications are the Remnant.

The Remnant are those evangelical women who hold their principle and faith above any fear of what a President Trump or a President Hillary will do to this world, even if only a few of them are willing to stand.

These women are so determined to hold to God’s Word on the appearance of wickedness, that they will not endorse a serial adulterer, profaner, and cheat with the sacred trust of their vote.
