Evangelicals Abandoning Trump

In 2016, I liked what Trump was saying and thinking "Someone has got to say it" and was thankful that Trump had the "Pelotas" to do so! He was far from my first choice for the Republican nomination though. That went to Ben Carson whom I really liked as a person even though I thought he was WAY TOO NICE to be president and I was not happy at all when Trump came after and attacked him the way he did. After Ben Carson dropped out, my support went to Ted Cruz and I actually campaigned AGAINST Trump receiving the nomination believing he was not a serious candidate and perhaps just a shill for the Democratic party seeing to it that Hillary would win the election. What I really wanted to see was for Rubio to exit the primary race and give his endorsement to Cruz who would then have the momentum to defeat Trump and win the Republican nomination. After Trump won the nomination, I held my nose and voted for him as president because I certainly was not going to vote for Hillary but I was gritting my teeth and readying myself for another "Clinton" presidency. It was a huge surprise to me when Trump actually won the presidency and I was pleasantly surprised and happy with all of his accomplishments and for the first time in a long time, I felt like our country was finally headed in the right direction. I still do not care much for Trump as a person and wish he had been more unifying than polarizing but there is no way a Conservative Republican will ever please the radical lefty looney crowd anyway so it was entertaining watching them being in a constant state of "Triggered!"

I would rather see someone who has the very same values and very same platform as Trump who would act a little more "Presidential" and have moral character and integrity. I have no love whatsoever for Biden and I hope he goes away but God has anointed him as our President and likely because he is exactly what our nation deserves. I believe God's judgment is upon our nation and may God help us!

I certainly hope Trump defeats Biden, but I’d really prefer a different Republican candidate. Trump’s schtick was entertaining for a couple years, but the constant name calling, tweets, polarizing behaviors, etc., did nothing but feed the liberal machine 24/7 and set him up for defeat.

It's very easy to join the crowd and "hold one's nose" towards Trump's "lack of moral character". Along with christians, atheists, too, seem to think they are morallly superior to this man that has stood firm and resolve as THE WORLD seemingly assaults him daily. But history (long after we're gone) will judge the real Trump. While he will probably win the nomination, he will not win the presidency, I don't believe. But his "lack of morality" will not hide his great leadership in his first term - from the historians.

I'll be interested to see who this one evangelical in Iowa supports after DeSantis loses the nomination.

Ditto to all of this. I would add that when I saw the riots that broke out after Trump's inauguration and who was behind it, I felt voting for Trump was indeed the right choice. You see, not only can you tell the character of a man by the company he keeps but also by the enemies he acquires. So, judging from those who opposed Trump, I figured there was something redeeming about him.

Read the article, not just the headline: “My endorsement has never been and never will be for sale,” Vander Plaats said, according to the August Reuters article. “My only interest is in bold, courageous, principled leadership for this country.”

Whatever he claimed, the optics and timing don’t look good.
 
And folks wonder why the Biden administration will easily win reelection next year.

No doubt about it. The USA is being readied for judgment.

I do think it is supremely ironic that people who hold to the cultural/political center are willing to split the ticket and make the Democratic pathway to victory more plausible because of a guy has a crappy personality and likes to mean tweet several times a day. Talk about gagging on a gnat and swallowing a horse.

There is no difference between King Trump and King David. Both were great leaders. Israel's greatest prosperity was under King David. Likewise King Trump gave our country the greatest low inflation prosperity. Both men had moral issues.

Trump isn't king. That s a pretty significant difference.

There are more similarities than you think. Both men had moral failures.
King David presided over the golden age of Israel. King Trump made America very prosperous during his 4 year reign. King Trump moved our embassy to Jerusalem. King Trump installed 3 conservative justices to the Supreme Court and eventually Roe v Wade was overturned.

Trump is followed by delusional people.who mistake him for a king, even though they don't live in a monarchy.

David wasn't followed by delusional people who mistook him for a president.
