Evangelical Christians Divided Over Trump

[deacon blues]

What Donald said was appalling. But try to put what we are facing into context. Do you really want to give up potentially THREE SCOTUS seats, and a continually weak economy, and a continually weak foreign policy, and a continued liberal agenda promoting abortion, gay rights, LGBTQ rights, gun control, status quo for public education, continued assaults on religious liberties because on something someone said in a private conversation eleven years ago???

Perspective. Historical perspective. Understand history. Learn the lessons of history. Understand what's at stake. Get off the high horse and understand the difference between a regrettable snapshot of someone's life and decades of corruption and power grabs aimed at eroding the very fabric of our tradition and history.

Four years from now, when our economy is worse than it is now, our healthcare is worse than now, our military is worse, along with our standing in the world, the Supreme Court cemented as a liberal court for generations, and more lies and corruption of the Obama/Clinton apparatus have been exercised for another term---don't you think Donald's five minute conversation eleven years ago will seem like chump change???

I disagree with this simply being "a regrettable snapshot" of Trump's life. Trump supporters are acting as though this is the only time Trump has talked like this or acted this way. It's not a snapshot ... it's a pattern which has been established over decades. That video of Trump IS Trump. It's who Trump has been for a very long time. And from his statements, books, interviews and tweets -- until Friday he hasn't regretted any of it. I doubt he truly regrets this even, seeing as his wife wore what she did to the debate. He's Donald Trump. He's rich. He's a celebrity. And as such, he believes he's entitled to do whatever he wants to do to women.
