“Top Evangelical”

What a lie. Top grifter is more like it.

Vander Plaats, CEO of the Iowa-based Christian conservative group The Family Leader

Yea, I'm not much for these CEO's of Christian Groups.

I know no evangelicals who fall into that category.
Vander Plaats is an evangelical and appears to be a never Trumper. There are likely other outliers like him.

It sounds like you believe the tripe this alleged evangelical is throwing out there.
You can believe what you will. The truth is that I am a Trump supporter.

He’s not a pastor and he’s not an ordained minister. He has been involved in various “non-profits” (i.e. grifts) for decades.

His current organization puts a religious veneer in keeping the borders open to funnel illegals into Iowa to man the meat packing plants and hog confinements.

“In 2018, he published an opinion piece in The New York Times titled “Cruelty at the Border Is Not Justice” in which he characterized the Trump administration family separation policy as “unconscionable” and “inexcusable.”

Nothing says “conservative” like bad mouthing President Trump in the NYT...

Seems you are getting your panties in a wad for some other reason. Is it that you are a Trump hater & always have been?

Trump’s Republicans opponents are getting frustrated.

Nothing they’re trying is working.

““zero-sum “evangelical/conservative.””

_____

What does that mean?

Thanks for the input. What, then, are Christians? Does this mean people who are nominal Christians? Like a nationality?

“The truth is that I am a Trump supporter.”

I never doubted that. Just thought that you might believe the crap this so-called evangelical is espousing, and are worried.

I’m not worried at all about evangelicals’ support for Trump. I’m only worried about RAT/RINO cheating.

Here’s “Focus on the Family” trying to explain it, as they claim they’re evangelical:

Sorry, I am not into coronations. He needs to convince not me, but Americans in general, that it is NECESSARY for Democrats to lose. Right now, I think that RDS would be a much tougher candidate to beat in a year. He proved his mettle in Fl, outperforming polls. Unlike every other Republican.

What does that mean?

I mean it to say that anything he does that gives a positive result is generally cancelled out by something else he does that delivers a negative result. This is not a judgment about his soul or his state of grace, but his affect on Iowa politics.

He is neither always right nor always wrong - a failing we all have - but I see him as a political influencer who - like Deace - plays the spoiler too often.

I think that there’s a team desantis talking point out there, that haley and Trump don’t want to debate desantis because people will see desantis is so much better than his opponents, and desantis will get a huge rise in the polls.

🤣

Of course, you can only believe that, if you completely ignore all the bad things desantis has shown he has and does.

They don’t call him Bob Pander Paants for nothing. In fact you actually have to pay money to the Family Leader.

Haley has participated in the debates, and has engaged DeSantis on many occasions, so I have heard, because I haven’t watched the useless debates.
