'Not a morally upstanding guy,' yet Trump has the love of millions of Christian conservatives

KENOSHA, Wis. — Jill Gilmore is one of those voters who have confounded both Democrats and Never Trump Republicans the most. She is a college-educated, gun-owning female conservative Republican who voted for Donald Trump. But here’s the real kicker: She is also a devout Evangelical Christian.

“In the list of what is most important to myself and my family, faith is always first,” said the striking 34-year-old mother of seven, small business owner, and community volunteer who says she and her husband teach their children daily that behavior and respect towards others is not an option, but a requirement.

Contrast the Gilmore Golden Rule with her vote for Donald Trump — who is accused of an affair with a porn star, and who does not have a reputation for politeness and respect for others — and her decision stuns the sensibilities of both his resisters and experts.

I thought after Bill Clinton, we weren’t ever supposed to be concerned about the alleged sexual peccadilloes of presidents?

“As for Saul, he made havoc of the church. Entering into every house and haling men and women, he committed them to prison.”

God has a use for imperfect men. That’s fortunate, since we
are all imperfect in our own myriad ways.

It's really no different than the support for Middle Eastern despots like Saddam Hussein and Bashir al-Assad among Chaldean and Maronite Christians.

They support these brutal dictators because those dictators keep the radical Islamic animals at bay.

Would I want Trump as a deacon or elder at my church? Absolutely not. However I didn’t vote for a church leader.

Historically God has chosen the biggest screw ups for His most important work... Moses was a murderer, Saul who became Paul, Peter, St Francis .... the list is very long

When God redirects a strong will toward His Will, miracles happen.

These people can’t get through their heads how forgiveness works. Jesus said forgive 7 X 70. So when Trump dates his 492nd porn stars I may stpp giving him slack.

Exactly !! The government isn't a church, and the democRATS and deep state globalists are not moral people. What has been needed is someone like Trump who understands the basic purpose of the government is to serve the people, not the other way around.

So being smeared by Democrats and the MSM is now proof of moral failings?

Would we be better of with the morals of Hillary Clinton? Well - if we go by the propaganda the MSM puts out, yes - Hillary Clinton WINS by a Noose!

If I have a choice of 1) someone being rude to me and telling me the truth or 2) someone like Obama being polite and lying through his teeth as he does it, I’ll take option 1 all the time.

Trump is a true, Alpha Male.

Such men have always been the greatest leaders mankind has ever known, they are strong, decisive, charismatic and wise.

Yet, whilst one tree can not bear every fruit, such men do have vices as well. They have been endowed with massive balls and levels of testosterone which can result in increased sexual activity to release the pressure.

You are as well rebuking a dog for barking as criticising an alpha male for indulging in sexual intercourse

Well I would say he makes no pretence of being perfect! Whereas bathroom Barry and the Clintoons constantly and in every way put themselves above everyone else. I would say Americans dont appreciate neing preached down to by retrogrades

When you board a plane, you don’t ask the pilot if he/she is a Christian. You just want someone who knows how to fly the plane and get you to where you want to go safely.
