Good, bad, or indifferent, Trump is running again for president. (snip) Now that Trump has made his intentions known for 2024, some are saying that the age of Trump is over.
They’re just not that into him.
Evangelical figures who previously supported Donald Trump are backing off now that he’s announced his third bid for the presidency.
“Donald Trump can’t save America,” Mike Evans told The Washington Post. “He can’t even save himself.”

If the gov't had been honest, he would never have been impeached. They are throwing everything they have (DoJ, FBI etc) and have found nothing.

amazes me that an evangelical Christian leader could and would produce the locution , "He can't save himself."

“What I find repugnant is the wholesale throwing under the bus a person who they claimed was akin to the second coming of Jesus Christ. They are the ones who elevated Trump and made him into something that he never presented, and therefore could never fulfill. Trump simply made his claims, ran a campaign that bested all the others on the field, and won the presidency against the odds.”
Not to mention Judas Pence.

He was a good president, but his moment has passed. No matter how much some may love him, there is a huge percentage of the population that will crawl over broken class to vote against him. Blame the Dems, blame the media, blame Mike Pence, blame Bill Barr -- it is not going to change. Trump cannot win the presidency. (And no, I did not say that in 2016 or 2020.)

So, other people won't vote for him, but you are to here to convince the ones that will vote for him that the shouldn't?
The song of the low information cowardly participants in the political process. We await a better alternative, not the stalking horse of the displaced status quo big government loving top down governance of the poltical/donor class. Your choices are Trump and feudalism. You aren't electing the homecoming king and queen.
Get a spine.

An "Evangelical Leader" who is this immersed in politics is no true evangelist.

#2 Yes. For those not seeing it: those are the words the pharisees threw at The Lord while he was on the cross.
Never heard of Mike Evans but he shoulda edited himself.

#7, if you search “Michael Evans,” you’ll find various bits of info — most of it self-serving, IMHO.
(If, in fact, this is the Mike Evans referenced in the WaPo article.)
His claim to fame seems to be claiming his fame…. and sending out slick and prolific mailings.

Fascinating ## 2 and 7.
I like Desantis. I need to know more about him.
Trump has built a national movement by hard, hard work and guts. I assume Desantis has done the same within Florida. I haven’t seen the same hard work, but maybe it hasn’t been televised. Desantis has not been attacked by the fbi, nsa, doj, a special counsel, and the ny atty general, but maybe if he is he will flick them away. Maybe when all the liberal outlets turn their spigots full on 24/7 against Desantis he will flick them away.
It may be true that Trump can’t win. I know Desantis can’t win without Trump’s movement. What a conundrum.
The analysis that Trump can’t win and the evidence is the 2022 elections may be faulty. I know a number of trump supporters who would like to move on. Sometimes “just moving on” is not one of your options.
Desantis is untested in the modern liberal deep state “firestorm of hatred” environment. Maybe he doesn’t have the flaws Trump had which instigated the firestorm or maybe he’ll work with the dims and deep state like bush did to keep the firestorm toned down.
If these types of people crucified Christ they can bring hell and brimstone to anyone who doesn’t play ball. Maybe Desantis has a better temperament for it or will appease more, but he still needs all Trump supporters every step of the say.

2,
Well... Trump cannot save himself. I think that part is pretty obvious. No man can. I don't think this is a reference to the mockers at the crucifixion. I think it is a simple statement of truth. Trump is his own worst enemy... as many of us are, whether we know it or not.

So, in 2024, is this nobody going to vote for Biden, Mattressback, or Buttigieg instead? He needs to just shut up and see how things shake out.
If PA, MI, AZ, and NV haven't fixed their crooked voting by then, it is all moot anyway.

So who exactly are they going to support then?!?!?!?
Senile Joe bidet, who has never met an abortion that he didn't love, and who has a very unhealthy attraction to young girls?????
Mattressback Harris, who is even worse than Senile Joe bidet in the love of abortion???
Favin Stalin Newsom, who runs Cubafornia like a Communist dictatorship and hates Christians and Christianity????
If Trump runs in 2024, he will be the Republican candidate for president. So pick your poison evangelical "leaders", and watch your congregations running for the door!!!!!

When you mix religion and politics you dont elevate the politics, you sully the religion. Religion should be above the filth of the political sphere, not immersed in it.

There were a lot of Republicans running for prez in 2016. Donald was the last man standing then. I remember the hooting and derision against him. Didn’t faze him a bit. He’ll be the last man standing in 2024.

Many of these leaders would abandon Jesus were He to show up today! After he called them Vipers and demons! Christianity is about Faith in the Crucified and Risen Jesus Christ! And the teaching that that faith is a gift from God! It has NOTHING to do with politics!

They don't speak for Evangelicals.
I voted for Trump before and I'll vote for him again.
Who else do the Republicans have? Have you looked at the list of wannabees? They are a bunch of establishment globalists. I mean really, -- Rubio, Christy, Pence -- I'm not voting for them.
The other 2 are DeSantis and Glen Youngkin. Not much is known about their views of the national level. I've heard Youngkin is kind of liberal - is he? Neither one excites me. I don't trust them and then they are there as spoilers against Trump. Like I said, I'm weary of both of them. I'm not going to vote for another establishment candidate like Bush, McCain, and the rest of the sorry bunch that were shoved down out throat. I'll stay home first.

And, when queried by St. Peter at the Gates as to why they allowed such unGodliness to fester and flourish they will claim they had no one to fight for them.
And St. Peter will say……”But, I sent you a fighter, and you cast him out as uncouth.”

Our resident intellectually lazy deconstructionist. 80 plus million cultists who aren't preoccupied with sitting at the cool kiids table.
We understand the futility of supporting the status quo beltway republican operation that despises middle american small government populists, those cultists to whom Trump appeals. We understood it in 1992 when the Bushes were ripping the stitching out of Reagans carefully sown legacy. We understood when McConnell voiced his intention to block and crush the T party populist that rose up against Obama. And it took someone from outside the political class, not Paul Ryan, not Jeb Bush, not Mitt Romney or other choices of the kinder gentler beltway country club republicanism to appeal not to them but to us. The cultists you sneer at. On every thread. Without an alternative. Criticism, especially repetitive criticism in the absence of constructive suggestions or alternatives is intellectually lazy and politically cowardly.

If the powers that be had investigated the election, we would not be here. As an Evangelical:
1) Mike Evans is so powerful I had no idea who he is. He cannot be all that magnificent. I do not even recognize him. What mike will soon find out is that his followers will stop tithing to his org. God uses any willing vessel to carry out His plans. And He thinks badly of so called pastors bad mouthing His vessels. And oh, Mike--NO one can save themselves. Not even you! 2)Robison is a so baptist who has been in decline for a number of years. His tv ministry is suffering due to a dull and lifeless message. He is a has been, even though a man of God. Remember, pence is a baptist...so there we go. I do not seek political guidance from any preacher...when I need wisdom or discernment, I pray directly to God Almighty. That guy shouting from the pulpits is just a person who said he was a willing vessel. 3) Bob Jeffress is another so baptist that has allowed himself to be attracted to pence who is a snake, Bible thumper who lies, and stabs people in the back...and pence is owned by the donor whores. Who is worse? Jeffress is pastor of a huge church in Dallas. Texans are not push around by pastors. 4) Hoge. Vaguely know little. So bye guys. No one cares what your political views are. However, since you made them public, look for a short fall in the tithing boxes.

Trump resuscitated a moribund country club of canapé -munchers and transformed it back into what it had once been: the voice and will of middle America. He won two elections. He worked tirelessly to appoint fair and competent judges to our courts. He withstood relentless attacks by our enemies, culminating in the blatant theft of his reelection.
He made mistakes, like every other president; his most serious one was assuming that people in Washington had any sense of honor or decency. That is a mistake he's not likely to repeat.
He's weathered the worst and knows the terrain. Two more years of Brandon-omics might give the country a different perspective. The republicans will catch up to the dems ballot harvesting tricks.
Trump will be a known entity and a stark contrast to whoever the dems run.
DeSantis has time and Trump will pave the way. Supporting Trump no repudiation of DeSantis.
The alternatives are, 1. throw DeSantis to the same hyenas that Trump has been fighting, or 2.nominate that jar of mayonnaise, Pence. We only need a little gumption. We only need to stand with Trump and ignore the backstabbers and defeatists.

They sound just like the Pharisees, don't they? Who are these evangelicals? Mike Evans must be used to twisting scriptures and taking the evil side. He probably considers David a terrorist for killing Goliath. He hates that Abraham didn't sacrifice his child even though God provided a substitute. God is exposing these phonies. If we are looking at wrapping things up here shortly, remember the ones that are being exposed and don't let them lead you astray.

That's why I don't pay any attention to religious 'leaders' or so-call Faith 'leaders' or for that matter much of anything I read about WWJD. I have been exposed to enough religion to decide what is right for me.

I'm amazed at how incredibly stupid that some so called "Republicans" and "Americans" (cough, cough, laugh, laugh) dislike or actively hate Trump. And when you ask them why, they can't really explain except that they think he's brash, rude, vulgar or too flashily dressed or they don't like his hair, wealth or buildings. There's never any substance to their dislike or active virulent hatred of him.
Trump got more done in his 4 years than 100 years of wishy washy cowardly anti American hatred DimOHcraps ever did in many generations.
If you ever going to be in a foxhole you'd much rather have President Trump with you than the PigLousy, Hussein Obammy Yo Mammy No Whammy, Hellary Clintoon, Chuckie Wucky Schoomer, and or Any Soros and least of all Joe the Pedophile Bi-DUMB.
Good lord,.....Please American voters, SAVE US FROM THE DIM LIARS, CROOKS, TRAITORS AND COWARDS. We'll be lucky if the Dims, Russians, Chinese and Islamofascists don't kill us all.
And they will if given the least opportunity.

#5 GustoGrabber,........Thank you so very, very much. "Your choices are Trump and feudalism. You aren't electing the homecoming king and queen."
You are so right. I don't understand why so many people (including so many of my so called "friends" and family.) just don't get it or understand what the consequences or future are with another dumb "Bass" Diimbocrap in office.. Russia, China and the Islamofascist world are just waiting for us to screw it up. they would nuke us in a flash if they thought they could get away with it.
