Anyway we look at it, either Clinton or Trump were going to win. In the end, there was absolutely no other choice. So people were given the choice of two terrible people. Neither ideally represented evangelicals. Many evangelicals I know voted for Trump not because of his platform or ideas but rather for the chance that he would nominated justices that were more inline with their beliefs. That is how they justified their vote for Trump. Same reason I hear over and over. It is a valid point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Trump breaks the mold, he'll have more unprecedented moments open to questioning. His almost daily Tweets assure that. His supporters will complain and call most critiques unfair. This allows them to dismiss criticism. Folks will disagree on where the line is. Trump is re-setting the standard for acceptable presidential behavior just as he re-set the standard for acceptable behavior for a candidate. How you feel you should react to that is something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is hardly a criticism of Trump, but rather a question of what this demographic group that voted for Carter in 1976 stands for in 2016. Years ago, there's no way any candidate saying the things he said gets a smidgen of the evangelical vote. In 2016, he got more of it than previous Republicans. You're a little sensitive and protective of the Trumpster, aren't you? Interesting that @bigbird example of me “losing it” over Trump was merely linking to an article about comments he’d made about his daughter’s attractiveness. The dude has made some strange comments about his daughter over the years. Even then, @bigbird couldn’t wait to jump in and defend Trump by attacking me for linking to the story. Truly one of the most bizarre responses I’ve been given on this forum, and that’s saying something. Here’s another example you asked for, Bird. Thanks for reminding me how long you’ve been a loyal defender of even Trump’s weirdest behavior. Your connection to him obviously goes beyond policy agreement.
