One of my many problems with evangelicals who support Trump (and other Republicans) is how they say they have to because they are their best chance to get what they want. No matter how wicked, how many sins they have committed, they side with them.
Look at support for Trump and Moore (Alabama). They are wicked, wicked people. Yet, they are supported. If a Democrat (or other liberal) was accused of 1% of what they have been, they would be pilloried. But these people blindly look beyond this.
My Jewish Study Bible has a footnote for 2 Chronicles 19:1-3 which expresses my thoughts about this:
Chronicles, however, takes the position that the mere act of displaying tolerance toward the wicked is wrong, since it countenances the Lord's enemies (see Ps. 139:21). Moreover, such tolerance and cooperation signals a lack of exclusive trust in the Lord and His ability to provide for one's every need.
Exactly!!
You are either intolerant of sin completely or not at all! It shouldn't matter if the person is a man or woman, liberal or conservative, black or white, gay or straight. It's either right or wrong. End. Of. Story.
I live in Michigan where we have a large Catholic population. Many Catholics also vote Republican because they are pro life, so it is not just the evangelicals who vote for Republican.
