'Not a morally upstanding guy,' yet Trump has the love of millions of Christian conservatives
Washington Examiner ^ | June 10, 2018 12:01 AM | Salena Zito

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.

You’re not moral. I can prove it ten ways to Sunday. Want to go down that road??

I am sick and tired of the holier-than-thou morons judging everyone else, yet, their guy gets a pass. Their preachers screw their secretaries, their president sodomizes interns, and the Sunday hypocrites claim everyone else but them is a sinner.

Maybe Christians as a whole know that nobody is perfect, and that Jesus directed his condemnation toward hypocrites rather than sinners.

Hillary had in her court the media, Hollywood, the Deep State, the DNC machine & attendant cheating, and other forces I probably can't comprehend. Had she won, the only thing stopping the American government from going full socialist would be Ryan and McConnell because Justice Merrick Garland would have penned the 5-4 decision effectively repealing the 2nd Amendment.

Trump won by about 80,000 votes.

Yea, the likelihood of Divine Intervention seems high.

I read somewhere that Trump had an epiphany about 5-6 years ago and saved his marriage with Melania and became a Christian. Which is why she is weathering the Stormy affair and the Playmate of the Year affair publicity.

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

...

It’s the corrupt media with their ignorant view of Christians that don’t understand.

I guess the Pharisees and Roman’s were part of God’s Plan.

The media has told Christians how they are supposed to behave for 70 years. Over the last 10 or so Christians woke up and realized that the media was just using age old manipulation techniques. Christians , en mass, said to pound sand and voted for Trump. It was a beautiful thing

King David was my first thought also. People can sin mightily but they can also repent, change their ways and God can use them for His purpose.

Saul of Tarsus is another perfect example of a man who was murdering early Christians but God changed him and used him to give us most of the New Testament.

I personally believe that Trump has been placed as president by God to give us one last chance. I pray America repents.

We love David (adulterer and murderer).
We love Rahab (prostitute).
Both are in Christ’s lineage.

If a ship is headed for an iceberg and a guy grabs the controls and steers us toward safety, I don’t care how polite he is or whether he has any bimbo eruptions in his past.

Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Bill’s supporters have changed their minds on that.

“But here’s the real kicker.”

And just who is she supposed to vote for? Bill Clinton? Barack Obama? Jeb!? Open borders Leftists? Abortion proponents? Christian haters? America haters? Socialists? Communists? Atheists? Shep Smith types, if you get my drift?

THAT, is your basis of morality? Just THAT?

Only ONE is perfect. ALL the rest of us are varying degrees of immoral.

John 8:7

“.... He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (him)

Are YOU that person?

So easy to accuse when you are a liar, but so hard to prove when you are honest. Such is the wiggle room that the MSM wallows in.

Trump is a germophobe, germophobes dont do whores.

You judge a tree by its fruit, not its nay sayers.

Salena Zito, what would we find if we were to examine your morality?
