WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) Leaders of religious conservative groups largely stood behind Donald Trump on Saturday...

(snip)

"Naturally I’m disappointed," said Steve Scheffler, head of the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition. "But, you know, the Bible tells me that we are all sinners saved by grace and I don't think there's probably a person alive that I know of that hasn’t made some mistakes in the past."

He said Clinton has peccadilloes of her own, most notably marital woes with her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

"So yes, I will vote for Donald Trump. I’m not excusing his behavior at all. It’s disgusting," he said.

Still, the majority view among religious conservatives appeared to be summed up by Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council action group, who said evangelicals "are left with a choice of voting for the one who will do the least damage to our freedoms."

"This is far from an ideal situation, but it is the reality in which we find ourselves and as difficult as it is, I refuse to find sanctuary on the sidelines and allow the country and culture to deteriorate even further by continuing the policies of the last eight years," he said.

Trump’s locker room talk from eleven years ago doesn’t solve the problem we face with Hillary.

Her crimes.

Her lies.

The women she abused.

The dead bodies in her wake.

Or the fact she is more than willing to do the bidding of George Soros in destroying the USA and enormously enriching himself (with a big cut of the profits going to Bill and Hillary—mind you, it will likely end up in their daughter Chelsea’s hands since it appears both Bill and Hillary are not long for this world).

Liberals are complete morons! They think this will help them, to make Trump look like a bad person, but all its going to do, is show people how despicable the media is!

Trump must be the next president to prevent Killary from destroying our precious country.

Yes, Trump has his faults. We all do. But his faults pale in comparison to Killary. She is truly evil.
