"Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

The continued support for Trump - even at his very worst - is, however, not justified by the fact that Hillary was the other choice. Trump would probably be better if some of his voters were better at holding him accountable.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

That does not imply everything he did after election was right and that he should not be held accountable.
He is POTUS. My responsibility is to pray for those in power. I do, frequently."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment.

Praying for someone does not imply that you agree with them and that you can't hold them accountable.
I am not claiming you say so.
I just think those perspectives are a little absent in the thoughts you provide.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Voters always have the possibility of holding those in power accountable. To think it happens only at elections is naive."Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment.

Originally posted by Charles View PostI don't remember seeing anything MM did not support. He has made statements claiming he dislikes some of the stuff Trump has done in his personal life and said something about his personality. When it comes to his actual policy I don't remember seeing a single instance of MM disagreeing with Trump. That is not to say it never happened and I'd be interested in seeing examples.

[QUOTE=One Bad Pig;603832]I don't recall any mention of policy in your prior post.
But it has been discussed a lot in our threads. Call it what you like. I don't remember MM disagreeing with Trump in any way, shape or form on anything but how he lived his personal life and perhaps he disliked his form a few times. The body slam stuff, the family separations and stuff like that? I don't remember any criticism at all. I'd be interested in seeing it if it is there.

Expressing opinions loud and clear. Letting your voice be heard. Sending clear signals on what you support and don't support. If all Evangelicals had had the heart and the courage to say to Trump that he would lose their vote the next time unless he stopped the family separations at once, it could have happened at an earlier point. Now, Evangelicals at large (not all) did not have that heart and did not use their opportunity. Too bad.
