Why do Evangelicals like Trump?
Peter Wehner is among those of us who can’t understand how “Christian” and “Donald Trump” go together. His NYT op-ed asks What Wouldn’t Jesus Do? Spoiler alert: He sure as hell wouldn’t vote for that Trump character. (Which made me wonder; was Jesus a voter? I don’t remember any Bible passages about election day.) News to me, Trump has collected endorsements from Liberty U. president Jerry Falwell Jr. and Christian Broadcasting Networker Pat Robertson, quoted as saying, to Trump’s face, “You inspire us all.” It makes perfect sense if Pat was speaking for all media personalities making a living off donations from a credulous audience. He’s truly an inspiration! But for the rest of us, not so much/ Fort Boise . More here.
Question: I can’t see how any Evangelical than be for Trump, unless s/he considers him to be a lesser of two evils in the November election. As an Evangelical, I don’t get it. Do you?
