Okay, I take back what I said about Clinton not having a shot at winning Texas.

He's probably going to do a Jimmy Swaggart--just to keep his floor.  Otherwise, all that's left are the deplorables.
I get it why people call out conservative Christians supporting someone like Trump simply because, reprehensible comments or not, he lines up with them on issues more than Hillary.  They have a point.

Um, how?  I think the biggest problem for me this election has been evangelical support of Trump. And the only reason I can think of is abortion, and even that is fairly crazy because 1) what has he said about abortion, and 2) abortion rates have gone down under the baby-killing Comrade Obama.

What Christian values are evangelicals using to vote for Trump, and why aren't they voting for the Democratic ticket?  Especially given that the latter definitely seems to be the more "family values" ticket this year?  

I've been out of pocket due to Hurricane Matthew.  I'm posting at a wifi hotspot as I'm still without power.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not voting for Trump.  I will not vote for Hillary Clinton.  I will vote for Gary Johnson, unless, somehow, Trump is replaced as the GOP nominee, and I don't know if that's possible.

I don't know how Christians will react to it.  They've stomached a lot from Trump in terms of personal conduct (not that Hillary isn't deplorable herself).  

They've done so because Trump, while not a Godly man, is more favorable to many policy issues important to Christians.  He'll do the right thing in their eyes on Supreme Court nominees.  Hillary will, in their eyes, deal with conservative Christians in a persecutory way.  They fear she'll force "gay marriage" on churches, force religious organizations to hire gays and lesbians, even in areas such as teachers in religious schools, and she's for partial birth abortion, up until the last day of pregnancy, which, for me, is legal infanticide.  I've voted for pro-choice candidates over the years, but she's unusually vested in this issue, and Christians get that.  They're doing the best with what they've got.  Liberals ought to view themselves in the same manner when they vote for Hillary.  At best, both sides are guilty of a degree of willful blindness, but liberals who point the finger at conservative Christians have 3 fingers pointing back at them.  I'm willing to extend the grace to folks with red avatars here that some are doing the best they can with what they have to work with.  That folks like me receive little grace in return, only questions of my morality and sanity, is sad, but, perhaps, expected.

Ok, but all of that is speculation that seems to be built on this crazy idea that has taken over in the last couple decades that "Christian = republican or else."  Im an evangelical Christian who's voting for Hillary Clinton because I believe her ideas and policies are much more in keeping with what a Christian should do than the opposition.

But anyway.

Hear hear!
