    I don't disagree. 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.

      He is POTUS. My responsibility is to pray for those in power. I do, frequently.
      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.

        The ongoing political debate is ment to influence the powers that be while they have the power. 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.

          Nobody here - not even Mountain Man - does anything like support Trump at his very worst. And voters will next have the opportunity to hold Trump accountable in early November 2020.

            Do you HONESTLY believe Trump would be influenced by anything you or I say? Especially on an internet discussion board?

            Praying for someone does not imply that you agree with them and that you can't hold them accountable.
            I often disagree with him, and God will hold him responsible.

            I am not claiming you say so.
            Good

            You are free to ask for more information.

              I 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.

              Voters always have the possibility of holding those in power accountable. To think it happens only at elections is naive.

                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.

                    None of that was in your prior post. I can't read your mind. I responded to what was there.

                    I asked how, not what.

                    I'm also not an Evangelical.
