    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    I think all of us have to do this with almost any candidate of late. That is...if we're going to vote.

    Nope. But I didn't get to vote for Cruz or any of the others. My choice came down to Hillary or Trump. Exactly the same with one possible (now confirmed) difference, IMO. In my mind I could either not vote (which I think a lot of folks would like for Christians to decide to do) or vote for Trump.

    I have to question either your judgement, or your honesty if you want to put Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or John Kerry even in the same ball park as your Orange President
    And we'll just have to disagree. No biggee. It isn't the first time my judgment has been questioned.

    I will end with this: Yes, I support him because he is our president just as I supported president Bush and Obama. I don't defend that which I find reprehensible such as the comment to which you have been referring nor his Joe and Mika tweets. The CNN tweet was just funny...again, my opinion.

    Guess I could have pulled a name (Rubio) out of the air awritten it in...but it really didn't matter. I went to bed that night thinking Mrs. Clinton would be the president when I woke up like most of the country did. Difference is I wasn't heavily invested in the election as I couldn't see any difference between the two except the possible one I previously mentioned.

    No, it did matter...... You didn't vote for the one you wanted, the one YOU thought the most qualified, etc etc etc.......... You voted for someone else...........

    If there was little to no difference between the two crappy ppl you should have voted for someone else, someone you wanted, @ least IMHO.......

    I don't know of a single presidential election where I had a choice of who to voting for the person I actually wanted...except when I voted for Reagan. I thought GW Bush was a good choice first go 'round. Not so much. Then there was Obama/McCain (voted for Cynthia McKinney that year), Obama/Romney, and then this debacle of primaries and general.

    So we're really back to the idea that Christians just shouldn't vote because that's essentially what you're advocating when you suggest they/I write in an arbitrary someone who isn't on the ballot.

    Oh, and the reason I actually marked the ballot for Trump instead of voting for the libertarian or green candidate is outlined in a series of pre-election posts. It all came down to potential SCJ appointees.

    It's been a pleasure.

    I don't think Hillary Clinton cheated people out of money owed to them, the common man, the one that promised all these great things, beautiful things by Trump. It, to me, was the difference. Hillary in her past worked hard for the disadvantaged, Trump stole from them. Trump has always been a grifter.

    I think that Hillary has many, many flaws a politician, but her charity is/was legit, and she has literally saved and benefited thousands of lives through her work. OTOH, Trump is proactively malicious, even overtly so. He admits that most people aren't worthy of respect.

    So many anti-Trumpers have a pretty obvious blind spot when it comes to Christians who support Trump.

    Most Christians tend to accept that humanity is flawed. Without flaws we'd need no redemption. So it isn't hypocritical to support a sinner just because they are a sinner... we are all sinners.

    The reason that many Christians backed Trump is because they had just endured 8 years of an SJW president lecturing Christians on Christianity and bending the power of the government against Christianity and practicing your religion as we see fit. We voted for Trump not because he is a good Christian, we voted for Trump because, unlike anyone the Democrats have shoved in our faces in the last 50 years, Trump will leave us alone to practice Christianity in peace.
