Candidate Trump might not have received so much of the evangelical vote if the DNC political machine had run a "clean" candidate. It was a choice between two morally objectionable candidates. Democrats and progressives like to label this as Christian hypocrisy. If you tell me you ARE going to break one of my limbs, am I a hypocrite if I choose an arm over a leg?

You act as though the President was the only Republican choice; let's not forget Christians voted for him overwhelmingly in the primaries despite his horrid behavior and past. The hypocrisy is quite real. Or are we suggesting JEB somehow has the same skeletons in his closet? Or Kasich? I'd vote for Kasich.
