This is the only argument of anti-Trump conservatives that drives me crazy — this vociferous denial that they are not for Hillary Clinton. Of course, they aren’t for Hillary Clinton intellectually, emotionally, or morally. But the voting booth does not assess intellect, emotions, or morals; it only assesses votes. So no matter how much a Republican loathes Hillary Clinton, in depriving Donald Trump of Republican votes anti-Trump Republicans are helping Hillary Clinton win the presidency.
In sum, a religious conservative can honorably support Donald Trump just as honorable Christians supported Josef Stalin against Adolf Hitler (and for the sake of those who enjoy mischaracterizing conservatives, I am, of course, not implying that Trump is Stalin or that Clinton is Hitler — only that if a Christian could ally himself with Stalin to defeat a more dangerous foe, a Christian could support Donald Trump for the same reason).
There is no defense for Donald Trump’s comments or alleged sexual misbehavior. But in terms of damage to America, there is no comparison between what he has said and allegedly done and what she has done and advocates for the future. Is acting on that realization un-Christian?
