    I'm an evangelical born again Christian and he fell out of my individual voting way back when he spoke at Liberty University receiving the endorsement of Jerry Falwell Jr. and said 2 Corinthians, instead of Second Corinthians, I knew with all his claims he was no more of a Christian than a "hole in the wall", with his MOUTH and his critical remarks, and blanket statements did not keep with what I considered Christian. All the video evidence in 2005 and everything else just backs up my beliefs of the man. The other thing is that he blows these blanket claims, such as building a big wall and making Mexico pay for it, to I'll send special negotiators to use my strong arm to negotiate trade balance between the U.S. and all these countries. Then he claims Obamacare is the worst thing ever(I don't entirely believe it, but then he doesn't detail any of these statements, he doesn't articulate any policy, he JUST BLABS CONTINOUSLY, and his facial countenance and mouth is not that of a Christian. I saw him for what he was a year ago, and I was utterly shocked by the evangelicals who were supporting him!!

    I think because he get's up and says I'll appoint conservative supreme court justices that he has been given a "free" ride by evangelicals as if he has their best interest. I don't believe there is a guarantee he will appoint anything conservative, we don't know. Then he tell Chris Matthews that he would criminalize a woman for having an abortion I sat in my living room and heard him say that, I was shocked especially from a guy who had a history of being the pro-choice person in the past.

    Bottom line this guy has no government experience and he will say anything nothing is off limits to him, I don't want him representing me, I REFUSE TO VOTE FOR HIM, BUT MY DECISION WAS MADE 9 MONTHS AGO.

    Notice I didn't say anything about Clinton?? Because the question stated was about Trump. I however am voting for Clinton not because I'm enamored with the Clinton's past, but because I am treating this as if I am hiring a CEO, and in my estimation Clinton is 10 times more experienced and ready than a Donald Trumpf. Agree or disagree, I don't really care, Nov. 8 my VOTE DOES NOT GO FOR A DONALD TRUMP.

    I don't really pay attention to the polls. History determines that sometimes polls are hella false. For example... Brexit... People all over the polls predicted the vote would go to stay in the EU... Well... the polls lied... I would say that as a Christian I don't really care. God said we couldn't be perfect. The only person who was is Jesus and even he threw shade and burned people... There are hidden Trump supporters who say they'll vote for Hillary or won't but they end up voting for Trump. I knew 5 people who told me in confidence they would vote for Trump. But, they were so embarassed they didn't want to show it. But, everyone makes mistakes and isn't perfect so I would still vote for Trump. He at least admits he's human. Can we be honest though.... Bill Clinton has had his swings with women and while Trump had 3 wives, Clinton had 1 with many side hoes so....

    Trump has never been ahead in the polls other than an occasional one her and there. The odds have always heavily favored Hillary to win. That said, what support he had is now dwindling away. Aside from his vulgarity, misogyny, bigotry and racism, he has clearly demonstrated that he really has no clue as to what a president can and cannot do nor about any real issues facing our nation. He demonstrates little interest in learning these things. So, support from Christians, evangelicals and others has diminished and continues to do so daily.

    He didn't do anything. He didn't state that he actually did do that. He was talking in private about how star power turns women on...that they'd let him touch their p u s s y for that reason. That's certainly true. Look at any male celebrity and how obsess their female followers are. Not just male celebrities...any celebrities.

    Christians should support trump because he's the best candidate who will protect the first amendment and allow christianity to thrive. It shouldn't matter whether he's that religious or a little "rough around the edges". He's definitely a better choice when it comes to Christian rights than Hillary. Hillary will continue to make christianity and God more irrelevant. She will continue to push for non-Christian policies. Trump won't. Any Christian not willing to vote for trump are allowing their faith to die an inevitable death.

    I'm a Pentecostal Christian, and I watched the video. Here's my opinion:

    Donald Trump said that if you're the star, some women will let you do anything. For example, they will let you grab them by the pussy. Donald didn't say he actually did it, just that if you're famous, some women will be more sexually receptive to you. This is a fact, and is also hypothetical talk.

    If a woman consents to you grabbing them, that's consensual. I don't see what's wrong with that. The bible doesn't say that you can't touch a woman's genitals if she's consenting. The bible says that God created life, invented sex, and gave us sexual needs. Everything created by God is clean. It is humans that twist it into something sinful. Sex, when used correctly, is a good thing. Only society somehow makes its own laws of morality, for example, thinking that touching genitals is dirty.

    Also, the 10 commandments doesn't say you can't use the word "pussy" when referring to a woman's genitals.

    So, based on what I've seen, and what I believe, I don't see how the video tape negatively affects my opinion on Donald Trump in the way you think.

    The thing I'm worried about is that Donald knew that she was married, but he still tried to have sex with her. That is against God's commandments.

    BUT. Everybody is a sinner. Sin is sin. The big question is if Donald Trump accepted God's gift of salvation. And I can't answer that. The only people who know are Donald and God.

    EDIT: Just to clarify, extramarital affairs are against God's commandments. Even if a woman consents, if you are not married to her, then it's immoral to have sexual contact. I'm against Trump trying to have extramarital affairs, not him talking about women consenting to famous people.

    I know this may shock a lot of you, but most evangelicals live in the REAL world. We're not in a bubble somewhere, and we can't gasp in shock and cover our ears every time we hear a dirty word. Honestly, I think many evangelicals would be less hypocritical about this than many more liberal politicians, because Christians believe that humans have original sin and often fall into temptation. When I see these male reporters and political hacks gasp in PRETEND HORROR about what Trump said, I just have to shake my head because I expect that 90% of them have said something that bad or worse.

    Only if they're fake Christians. No real Christian would support a candidate who murdered people and who supports Roe V Wade, and who supports limiting the power of churches, and who supports gay marriage. Hillary is also far more evil as a whole than Trump, having done many other felonies.

    The only people who can't see that are, well, evil.
