Evangelical Christians desert Trump

Hard times seems to be the perfect words in describing the plummeted campaign fall of the Republican presidential candidates. The real estate mogul whose campaign rhythmic has been largely focused on divisive rhetoric, hate and wall building, recently caught fire with the resurgence of a 2005 sex tape lewd comments where Mr. Trump bragged about his personal demeanor for women most especially his ability to "Grope" them by the p***..

The leaked tape which has generated so much controversy has caused serious damages to the Donald campaign poll with so many persons withdrawing their endorsement from the Republican nominee whose comments and stance about women seems demeaning to the feminine character. The leaked 2005 video which showed up just moments before the second presidential town hall debate in St. Louis saw over 30 Republicans refusing to endorse Mr. Trump while other simply withdrew their earlier endorsement though tentative prior to now.

Subsequently, in lieu to the free fall that is currently rocking the Republican presidential win bid, Donald has again received yet another big withdrawal from his support claws as Evangelical Christians desert him following the Lewd sex tap remarks made against women.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, Mr Trump had only a 1-point edge over Hillary Clinton among people who identified as evangelicals, down from a massive 12-point advantage for the Republican in July. According to a leading Evangelical Christian Magazine, in her editorial remarks noted that Christianity isn't supportive of any such persons whose promotion of immorality, hate and greed knows no bounds.

“The revelations of the past week of his vile and crude boasting about sexual conquest — indeed, sexual assault — might have been shocking, but they should have surprised no one,” wrote Andy Crouch, editorial director.

“Enthusiasm for a candidate like Trump gives our neighbors ample reason to doubt that we believe Jesus is Lord.

“They see that some of us are so self-interested, and so self-protective, that we will ally ourselves with someone who violates all that is sacred to us.”

Wayne Grudem, a popular theologian, has withdrawn his support for Mr Trump - a move that could signal a huge sector of evangelicals following suit.

“I previously called Donald Trump a ‘good candidate with flaws’ and a ‘flawed candidate’ but I now regret that I did not more strongly condemn his moral character. I cannot commend Trump’s moral character, and I strongly urge him to withdraw from the election.”

Similarly, a member of Mr Trump's own evangelical advisory board, James MacDonald, said he was withdrawing his support unless the billionaire repented.

As the election draws to a close, the celebrity superstar turned politician seems to be struggling as he trails behind rival Hillary Clinton in recent polls most especially in swing states where he was once a major  contender.
