Thread: Thinking about Trump...

I can't bring myself to vote for Trump...unless....

How about this rationale? Almost all American Christians pray for revival. We also pray for God's mercy on our sinful nation. And yet doesn't there come a time when Christians should say, "The only thing that will bring us national repentance is if God brings judgment on our nation." As I said in another thread, I can't figure out if a Trump presidency would be God's favor or God's judgment. If the latter, maybe that's what we need to usher in revival. We need to get desperate. A Trump presidency might do the trick (although a Hillary presidency would do the same!). So is it appropriate to vote for Trump in the hopes if he's as bad a president as many predict, it might be God's way to bring true revival?

That's about the only rationale I can come up with for voting for Trump. (Well, one other rationale would be to say I'm not voting for Trump, I'm voting for the Supreme Court nominees he has put forth as evidence of his conservatism).

Whatever it takes. Glad to see you're voting.

Don't forget the abortion issues also, the democrats platform is staunchly pro-abortion.

What made me even consider Trump was when he released his Supreme Court nominees.

Sister Hillary won last night in California. I believe with all my heart it was rigged by the powers that be.

Bernie was very very popular here and he knows it's a scam.

So, it's going to be one of those 2 (Trump/Hillary) whether we like it or not.

Pity it did not end up being Cruz vs. Sanders. That would have been a real contest of ideas between two civilized individuals who hold their views strongly and unequivocally.

I actually agree...I believe people will vote, a way that seems right to a man, believing it's going to produce great change when in fact IMHO either way we vote, it won't. Looking back historically we see that no president actually TURNED America from this course of corruption, a few can be praised for few good choices but for the most part they have all kept us on course...I don't expect that to change. I will vote as best my conscience will allow but I have faith only in GOD to turn America, and to be frank, I have little faith that even HE can. We know from history and the Bible that sinful humanity tends to only surrender when they realize HE is their only hope. As long as Americans feel self empowered, they won't turn and will continue to snub their nose in the face of God.

IMHO this has been rigged for at LEAST 8 years...I believe the Dem party told her years ago they would get her in as the 'first woman president' after they ushered in the 'first black president'. They offered her a pacifying position that would give her 'foreign policy' experience in the mean time.

I believe that too

I think people are beginning to awaken and see thru the whole scam and they are ready to revolt
