“I would not necessarily choose this man to be my child’s Sunday school teacher, but that’s not what this election is about.” – Rev. Robert Jeffress
Regular readers of this blog know that I have not been a Donald Trump supporter. That is until he became the Republican nominee.
While I have frequently been disappointed in his insults of some women and Hispanics and a lack of discipline in conducting his campaign, he is still the only candidate to bring about the necessary changes nereded in Washington.
How can Trump survive his latest open microphone instance, you may ask.
President Bill Clinton did far worse, fondling a married woman and having sexual relations with an intern in our White House. Impeached by the House of Representatives for perjury before a grand jury and obstruction of justice, he was permitted to serve out his term after acquittal by the Senate. And, unbelievably, Bill Clinton left office with highest end-of-office approval rating of any U.S. president since World War II.

You may offer that Bill Clinton isn’t running now, but reports of Hillary Clinton’s temper and use of four-letter words in private have been chronicled in several books. I believe her failures as secretary of state, affecting all Americans and our allies, are far more serious than the foul mouth indiscretions of Trump.
In remarks by Hillary during her $200,000 plus speeches revealed yesterday, she admitted being far removed from the middle class life style she claims in her campaign speeches. “My dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders,” she told one audience, expanding on her previous call for amnesty.
Hillary’s reckless handling of e-mails has proven to be a complete disregard for national security. Without a complicit Obama administration, she would have been indicted. The corruption of the Clinton Foundation tied to the State Department during her tenure there continues to surface.
Couple that with her failure to protect the Benghazi compound, which led to the deaths of our ambassador and three other Americans, and her trail of failures in Russia and the Middle East, and you have someone who cannot be trusted with the foreign policy of the United States.
She failed during her husband’s first term to sell a health insurance plan and now she thinks she can “build on” the collapsing ObamaCare.
For me, the choice is simple … I will vote for Trump, a man with questionable character and a foul mouth, who promises to change Washington, over Clinton, a corrupt, compulsive liar with high office failures, promising more of the same costly big government ventures. And, the prospect of her Supreme Court picks scares the heck out of me.
Finally … Trump has said he wasn’t perfect. Who among us is? In view of the latest Trump indiscretion, it is interesting to note that religious leaders like the Rev. Franklin Graham, Tony Perkins and Gary Bauer have not wavered in their support.
