Why voting for Donald Trump is not a morally good choice.

Really!? Please show us the exact behaviors and statements that show you that. List them out for us.
he has stated that he wants to better understand what real Christianity means, and that he does accept that he has made bad decisions regarding his martial and other affairs, so that at least is more than Hillary gives us!

Just think that Hillary as president would be Obahma lite, and we as a nation cannot endure any more of those policies!

If that were true it would be a start but not near enough. Regardless of what Hillary will do we need to find a candidate that has some moral character. Not Trump

Trump got about 40% of the GOP primary voters. Trump required going into May before he won enough delegates to clinch the nomination. Pretty weak. For most of the primary season Rubio and Cruz were beating Hillary in the polls.

Bottom line...Trump beat your guys and mine. Same question, if they can't beat a weak wild card candidate like Trump, what makes you think they could beat Hillary.

You can rationalize it any way you want, he's the guy. Now go to your corner and sulk.

That is true! We had democratic process done, and he is the voters candidate, so we need to get united and behind him in order to avoid a much worse choice, namely Hillary!

Debating why Trump is not morally a good choice should be debated right along side the question as to why doing anything at all to help Hillary win is ,morally, a better choice.

Watch the denials of the rats as they try to take the high road, but can't. They just cloak their own morally bad choice in false in self righteousness.:Biggrin

Because 12 million Democrat voted for the guy that their women could beat. It's pretty simple when you look at the data.

AMEN!!!

I invite all on Baptist Board to view this video. It's not quite 8 1/2 minutes long. This is part one of a five part series. I found that once I watched part one I was compelled to continue on with the rest of the series.

Among the many things it does, it shows that voting for the "lesser of two evils" is a variation on situational ethics and dismantles the "voting for a third party is a wasted vote" argument.

http://stepstopoliticalepiphany.com/steps/1

Folks, if we Christians continue to vote for the lesser of two evils, like we did in 2008 and 2012, the GOP will continue to give us lousy candidates and we're going to stay stuck in this rut.
I listened to all 5 of those and they are good. I like the question of what sin does a Republican have to commit before evangelicals will no longer support him.

The worst thing about this election for me was when I found out that Fundementalist pastor who I know and respected went to the meeting of evangelicals with Trump. These are men who take such strong stands on Separation, they would not join hands with Evangelicals to do anything... except it seems to prop up the Republican candidate. That was undeniably proof to me that the left was right about evangelicals, (and Fundementalist) that they were in bed with the Republican party no matter what. It was a painful and humbling realization that I had been wrong when I thought that evangelicals had some principles when it came to voting.

In other words you can't refute the data. Thanks for that info :)

Sure can. And it's easy. Do you just believe anytthing you read without checking as long as you agree with it?

Do your homework. You're acting like a liberal.

Because all of the above *were able to secure their nomination early in the race and didn't have to drag it out until the end. I never had a chance to vote in any primary before this year since by the time my state voted it was over.
Securing early I think shows more strength than a 40% weak win, which is even worse than McCain 46% win in the primary and we all know how well he did in the general election.
* Bush, McCain, and Romney

But how many Primary opponents did they face?
Trump had about 18 opponents

I always do my homework. Which is why I read like 8 to 10 different sites so I can avoid an echo chamber. I've made that mistake before and learned my lessons so now I read across the board, from Drudge and Breitbart all the way to Slate and Salon and everything in between. So I guess you could say I'm liberal in the classical definition of reading all information, but somehow I think you meant it as an insult which is telling as well :)

Which is why the Republican need to come up with a run off system so that the winner will get above 50%
McCain had 7 by the way and still had it secured earlier than Trump. And again we saw how well his 46% did in the general.

Once again an insult instead of an argument. Thanks for that :) I appreciate it and what it means :)

Ridiculous. You make a silly unsupported statement that 12 million democrats voted for Trump and you expect to be taken serious?

I will ask you one question. How many democrats voted for Trump in Ohio?

More insults. But I have to wonder are you upset that John Kasich won his home state of Ohio? But to answer you question approximately 115,000 Dems voted in the primary election in Ohio. I remember when Trump was bragging about all the Dems that were voting for him. He was opening up the tent and all that. Funny how that is not mentioned any more.

there was in fact no insult in that post.
Disagree. Silly and Ridiculous are both adjectives meant to discredit the point. I'm not insulted though, just amused. since it goes to a larger point of mine that I have stated over and over, it's Trump supporters that ultimately keep me from wanting to vote for him.
