I DON’T SEE HOW A PERSON CAN BE A DEMOCRAT AND CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS. EVERYTHNG THE DEMOCRATS STAND FOR IS UNGODLY AND STRONGLY PRHIBITED IN THE BIBLE. HOMOSEXUALITY, GAY MARRIAGE, OPEN BORDERS, SOFT ON CRIME, USING THE GOVERNMENT TO PROSICUTE INNOCENT PEOPLE. A 180 DEGREE VIEW FROM CONSERVITIVE VIEW. I’M SICK AND TIRED OF CHRISTIAN ORGNIZATIONS ACCEPTING THE LIES AND ACTIONS OF THE IGNORANT MEDIA CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBR, NBC. YOU DO NOT GET THE TRUTH ON THESE CHANNELS YOU GET THEIR DISTORTED VEIW. OUR CHRISTIAN LEADERS SHOULD BOLDLY BE CALLING THEM OUT ON THEIR LIES. ARE THEY AFRAID OF LOOSING THEIR 501 C STATUS OR WHAT? IT’S TIME STOP THIS PASSIVE ATTIUDE AND START PROCALIMING THE TRUTH. ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE ALL THE PATRIARCHS WERE CALLED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE THEY GOT SOMETHING. TAKE THE “GIVE ME LIBERTY FOR GIVE ME DEATH” ATTITUDE……GET ON THE TRAIN OR GET OFF MOVE TO GAZA……..
The article is about differences in Republican and Democratic voters but does not address the concerns of Republicans who need to have their concerns addressed before they can support Donald Trump. Among their concerns:
1) Donald Trump needs to have a clearly defined platform. As most remember, he didn’t tell his supporters what his position was on abortion until after he got the Republican nomination, and his position took many by surprise. He needs to clearly state what he intends to do in Ukraine (vague promises will not do), what he intends to do with the economy (his suggestions about tariffs reveal a significant shift in his thinking. He is unpredictable and this is a concern.), if or how he intends to build up our military (our military declined under his policies during his previous administration), his position on international diplomacy around the world (what is he going to do about the military confrontations in the Phillipians, for example), what he will do about Social Security, etc.
2)He needs to say who he intends to appoint to what positions because as most know during his last term, he started with knowledgeable appointees but chewed through one person after another and ended with yes people who didn’t have the expertise to fill certain positions.
3)He needs to clearly say that he will respect National Security and will not use the knowledge to booster his ego.
4)He needs to clearly admit he lost the 2020 election. People want to know that they can count on a leader who is firmly grounded in reality.
If Donald Trump addresses these reasonable concerns (every politician to date has had a clearly defined platform), he will gain more support among Republicans.
Voters who really care about their relationship with Jesus Christ will consistently vote along the lines that express the values that are taught in the Word of God. What about you? Do you really believe that the Bible is the Word of God from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21? If you do, then there should be no question about how you should vote.
Right on you guys !! Very well summarized and am praying with you for America. In our savior Jesus name Hallelujah!!
