Here is what all those Trump supporting Evangelical Christians could not understand: They were very wrong in giving public support to a man that was either in no way a Christian, or if he was, he was an apostate Christian. And apostate Christian groups wanted him elected so they could continue on with their: “The end justifies the means” mentality! Read the Bible Folks!
Ecclesiastes 1:9: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
Powerful apostate Christian groups like the Roman Catholic Church are willing to compromise on the Gospel in order to advance secular political goals!
Transition Team (wiki)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_transition_of_Donald_Trump#Transition_team
Heritage Foundation transition team advisors
Now, the transition is getting an assist from Heritage Foundation officials including Becky Norton Dunlop, a distinguished fellow at the foundation; former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese, a distinguished fellow emeritus at Heritage; Heritage national security expert James Carafano; and Ed Feulner, who helped found Heritage. Rebekah Mercer, a Heritage board member and major pro-Trump donor, is on the transition team’s 16-member executive committee, and a transition team source said she is working with Heritage to recruit appointees for positions at the undersecretary level and below (though she has struggled to find people interested in taking lower-level jobs, according to a New York Times report).
The transition team also includes other prominent activists and thinkers with close ties to Heritage, such as former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, the activist involved with several conservative groups who is running Trump’s domestic transition team. He has written for Heritage and has personal relationships with many at the organization.

I just got a sick feeling.
So, Christians were supposed to vote for Hillary, who’s VP pic was a Jesuit? Do you suppose she cares any more about God than Donald Trump does?
Perhaps Christians should have done as Larken Rose suggested and not vote at all.
Scarlett,
There is a very big difference between being a Christian who is very vocal in publicly supporting Donald Trump for President versuses being a Christian who remains silent and then only votes for him because you have no other choice. The fact is in most states Christians did have the choice to vote for someone for President other than Trump or Hillary Clinton, and who did not have any part of their political platform that denied Biblical teachings but they chose not to. and they chose not to because they bought into humanistic thinking on why they should vote for Trump!
When a Christian is very open about publicly supporting someone who in no way reflects Christian values that is basically telling the non-Christian world that you are going to suspend what you believe on this occasion because you fear what may happen if that person does not win! And that sends a very strong signal that your faith does not mean anything.
God asks us to live our faith regardless of the potential outcome, and part of living that is not aligning publicly with people who deny non negotiable Christian beliefs!
So true. Most voted to keep her out, not to put him in. There were no other options.
