Hillary’s Supreme Court.

The explanation in three words.

One reason is because Trump opened the door to Christian leaders. He also talked of defending religious liberties and appointing pro-life justices to our courts.

Meanwhile, democrats are thinking about naming a muslim as their next party leader.

The main reason many people voted for Trump was to deny Traitorhillary the White House. With that expectation being met by Trump, anything else good he does is just icing on the cake.

It’s probably too much to hope that we will be able to retire that stupid, brainless slogan, “The lesser of two evils is still evil.”

Voting to keep the most evil candidate out of office is good. It is the right use of the vote.

Hillary’s plans to ramp up the resettlement of Muslim “refugees” into this country didn’t help her among Christians. It seems that quite a number of them perceive that as a mortal threat, regardless of the SJW horse manure heaped up around it.

.......................................................

He also previously said he was against gay marriage. Now in his 60 minutes interview he says he is fine with it. He doesn’t win nearly the same number of Christian votes and maybe loses the election if he says this two weeks ago.

I’m very concerned.

I’m not totally with this. Trump is flawed, as are we all. But he does have a nobility of spirit. His failure to always live up to those standards does not mean he does not aspire to them.

We didn’t choose between the lesser of two evils, we chose honor. . . flawed, perhaps, but honor nonetheless.

We know what Hillary's SCOTUS pick would be like.

Hillary is on record saying religious values must change to accommodate the murder of the unborn child and homosexuality.

Trump is no choir boy.

However, he is willing to listen to the Christian community and is not asking/telling us we have to change.

He's promised a Scalia type appointee(s) for SCOTUS.

That is a nutshell is why Christians voted for him.

I don’t believe he’s changed his position. He thinks it should be a state issue. Also, he doesn’t believe it should be forced on churches.

I didn’t see the 60 Minutes interview, but personally, I don’t believe he should make it one of his top priorities. My biggest problem with gay marriage is when they try to force it on our religious institutions.

I think they are trying to bait him into saying something controversial before he even gets in office and he knows better than to play into it, especially what with all the rioting going on.

I think he’s wise in not committing to anything yet since it’s meaningless at this point cause he’s not be inaugurated.

I’ll wait and see and continue to pray.

WhIle Trump may not be the "role model" Christian, he appears open to them, and supportive of them freely practicing without intreference from the government.

Clinton, much like Obama, appears to be openly hostile to Christians. Even worse, she has hinted openly that Christian beliefs and practices are antithetical to her world and legislative view.

Christians don't need a perfect Christian role model in the White House, but we do need someone who's not actively politicking against us.

It is 60 minutes. They routinely lie and edit their interview tapes to deceive.

I bet, if you listen to the unedited tape, the meaning is significantly differen.

I'll hope so anyway.

Trump has demonstrated that he is not hostile to Christians and Christianity. Clinton has demonstrated that she is.

That’s it in a nutshell.

That pretty much sums up my reasons for voting for him.

Trump showed respect for people of all faiths, and he earned the support of many influential religious leaders. I think itbalso helped that he was humble and never tried to act like a religious leader.
