I early-voted yesterday morning for Trump and now I wholeheartedly regret it.

I early voted yesterday with my wife about noon. There was a steady stream of people voting while I was there.

When we put the ballots in the machine, I noticed over 2100 folks had already voted in this one location in our small town.

I expect record breaking turnout this cycle

peace to you

I was thinking about it and it kinda seems like Trump is going to get even more votes this time than last time, which was even more than he got in 2016. Unless Kamala can somehow top Biden's performance (which I find... dubious at best anyway), then I'm not sure how she pulls this off.

Polls say close race but who is actually enthusiastic about her? And more so than they were for Biden? Really?

I know this sounds like great news, but the fact that they are basing these headlines on online betting numbers has me... less convinced. Polling is skewed, sure, but does that making the online betting market pristine?

I'm not a betting man (except for 2 dollar wagering at Keeneland twice a year), I ran across those articles the other day and linked them to this thread on a whim, just to stir up some conversation.

James Carville said a couple of weeks ago that if the Dems aren’t up by 4-5 points in popular vote, they cannot win.

The polls always error toward Dems. Expect the last few days to show a DT lead. The pollsters know if they get it wrong by a lot, no one needs to hire them.

peace to you

This election cycle has done a number on me. Since July, I have been ripped apart inside knowing that there is not a godly candidate at ALL! Not even a decent one. Or a truthful one.

I would lean towards voting for Trump and then he would open his mouth. :mad: I went back and forth with this as I said since July.

Harris was out as a choice for me. No way. No how.

I had made my decision to write-in someone and was at peace with that after I saw Trump's Truth Social account from back in August where he joked about Harris and Hillary and "blowj*bs". He is so gross and juvenile and NOT an adult.

Then I saw where Harris mocked Christians who came to her rally and told them that they were at the wrong rally. and how everyone there cheered with her and clapped against the Christians.

I said to myself. She CANNOT go in. What if my vote for someone else makes her slip in by a hair?

So Monday morning at 8:45 am, I cast my vote for Trump.

I got home just in time to see his little trolling of Harris by putting on a fake and scripted McDonald's show.

AND I saw his comment about the late Arnold Palmer and how large and impressive his GENITALS were. And what a physical specimen of a MAN he was.

Arnold Palmer's children are very upset. As they should be.

What actual and real man in his right mind SAYS something like that publicly? What KIND of man? An unhinged one.

America is under the judgment of God. I have believed that for years. And we are getting what we wholeheartedly deserve.

Trump got my vote yesterday. But he will never have my support or respect. The only thing he will get from me is my prayers. He has had that and now that will be all.

I feel unclean for voting for him and am in turmoil all over again. I should have done what I first decided and not voted.

Pray for me to move on. I've had headaches for the past few weeks and am not eating properly nor getting proper rest over this.

Pray for me. I have no one to tell in person or private because all my people believe him to be the most wonderful candidate. That has contributed to my feelings of despair.

I need to find a new hobby or task or direction and just let this go.

I'm in no way trying to enforce the "lesser of 2 evils" thought.

What I will say is that the Scripture plainly teaches that God uses the unsaved and worldly men of this world as well as the saved and separated men of this world to bring about His will.

Trump certainly does not represent the ideal candidate I would vote for as a Christian.

But this I do know, the Democrat candidate is bringing direct opposition to the principles and values of the born-again believer in Christ.

On a scale that can't even be compared to the Republican candidate.

Just my 2 cents worth.

yeah, what I figure is that whoever wins is a public servant, not an overlord, a dictator - that person works for you in a representative republic.

the OP is a reason I still dislike early voting - she had buyer's remorse within hours. I have had that - voted for someone (GWB and GWB) and really regretted it years later but not if the candidate didn't win. Both Trump and Harris are pretty immoral but so is the country they want to serve.

At least vote down-ticket if you care about politics at all.
