Sounds like you in the same boat with me. I'm not crazy about Hillary Clinton but Trump is just too impulsive to be capable of competent governance. The Supreme Court nominations scare me to death, we are going to have a hard left star chamber in Washington if she gets elected and it will not bode well for Christian causes.My friend(who has voted Clinton by postal ballot from Europe) and I watched the debate together. We both thought that Trump won this debate. We were both curious as to whether he could pull off what he claims if he wins. But we also both agreed that it was probably too much of a risk to give him a go. For all her faults Clinton is the safe pair of hands in this election even with her disturbing commitments to abortion & gay marriage.
With political activism one of the most under appreciated hazards is winning, because then the genie is out of the bottle, be careful what you ask for. Protestants wagged war to establish democracy, wrestling political power from the Catholics and you have to ask yourself, what was gained and what was lost. This is politics and if you enter that arena forget about emerging squeaky clean. Sometimes there is a fight worth having but I have long been reassured that Christians, by and large, only reservedly enter the political arena. We are sheep among wolves but bear in mind, we know how this thing ends and I'm not talking about compromise and consensus. When God decides to shut this lunatic asylum down it will be over in an instant. Till then we are left with two candidates with some pretty profound defects. God rules in the affairs of men, let God decide between these two candidates. May the truth prevail.
Grace and peace,
Mark
