There are a lot of people not understanding why conservatives and evangelicals are falling in line for Trump. It's not about Trump pulling a con job on those supporting him or those supporting him thinking he's the Messiah.
We know he's not.
This election is not about Trump. This election is about moving the Overton Window.
This election, just like the last election, and the one before that, and the one before that ,and so on and so on.... is not the last chance to save America. One man is not going to save America. WE ARE!
This is not about our faith being reflected in a candidate.It's about our faith in God to destroy those who have put their own interests above the country. Trump is just the vehicle to accomplish this. If Trump wins with out the party bosses, Chamber of Commerce, and other gatekeepers that ALWAYS dictate who is allowed to get elected it's like a political earthquake that changes the dynamics of elections from the federal level all the way down to the local level. It's the potential to change these dynamics that Trump represents.
Is Trump going to let us down? Most certainly....but THEY ALL WILL LET US DOWN because they are mere men. We should never put our faith in one man because our hope is in the Lord. People thinking that Trump will damage this country irreversibly forget that the only reason Obama has been able to transform the country is because so many people in positions of power let him. If Trump acts the dictator when elected, he won't have done it alone.
We have seen how when the American people get engaged and active they can influence their government That's why the Gang of 8 bill did not pass. So whoever get's elected, it's up to us and the other leaders we have elected to hold them accountable. And if you really want to shake things up we have to stop re-electing opportunistic self serving politicians like Bob Corker, Lamar Alexander, Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, John Thune, Kelly Ayotte, Lindsay Graham, Orin Hatch, John McCain, Lisa Murkowski, Rob Portman, Richard Shelby, Trey Gowdy, etc...It's not the president who has ultimate power despite what you have been told...it's everyone else around him that has the power to stop him...but only PRETENDS to fight him while stealthily and covertly working to assist the ruling class and their Chamber of Commerce overlords.
This paragraph from an earlier post captures what Trump means for this country...
While many of Trump’s actual proposals are misguided, nonsensical, or untenable, by smashing the window, he’s begun the process of freeing the American people from the artificial and destructive constraints of Left-defined discourse. Serious and substantive politicians like Ted Cruz will get a more respectful hearing, and PC shibboleths about allegedly boundless virtues of Islam and immigration will be treated with the skepticism they deserve. To be clear, this change is occurring both for good and for ill. The shattering of the window reflects the shattering of the American consensus, and the result will likely be deeper polarization, and even less civility, with further strains on the ties that bind our nation together. At the same time, however, the Left’s very success at defining the terms of discourse meant that the price of civility and unity was all too often an acceptance of liberal norms and manners. It meant swallowing liberal pieties and confining your discourse to Left-approved terms. In other words, it often meant surrender.

Via The Conservative Treehouse
Here’s something the media, or the various punditry will not discuss.
The regular Romney-type republicans voted for Marco Rubio, as normal (17,940). The regular social conservative-types voted for Ted Cruz, again as normal (16,079). The traditional party voters came out and voted for their traditional party candidate just like they did in 2012, and just like they did in 2008 previously.
All comparables being historically comparable…. However, what was different in Nevada last night was the addition of 38,000 more primary voters (than 2012) who went to caucus specifically and almost exclusively for Donald J Trump.
The same thing happened in South Carolina where Donald Trump won by more than 74,000 votes. (Trump total 239,851). The same thing happened in New Hampshire.
The U.S. electorate is showing up in record numbers not to vote against Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, or previously Jeb Bush et al. No, those internal republican ideologies -and the candidates who represent them- are getting the exact same number of historic raw votes.
What is different in 2016 is the U.S. electorate showing up in record numbers to vote FOR Donald J Trump.
