Many of our brothers and sisters in Christ will vote both ways and we need to show God's grace and love towards them. Back in the 1970's some believers would say you are not a Christian if you smoke and drink; now we have come to the point where some might say "how can you be a Christian if you vote for "so and so.' I agree that we need to be involved and please don't quit being involved. We need Christians in politics to keep our country free for the sake of the gospel and support of Israel. I pray that people will become passionate about the good news of Jesus Christ. John, keep up the good work in sharing the Gospel. I am praying for you and Chris.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208095402397718993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-78944862464110002082016-07-29T14:54:40.415-05:002016-07-29T14:54:40.415-05:00As it is presently, Iowa and NH have a disprportio...As it is presently, Iowa and NH have a disprportionate amount of cloutBrandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848456961384711599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-3870760518490930592016-07-29T12:13:07.795-05:002016-07-29T12:13:07.795-05:00Yes, I think the primary systems of both parties n...Yes, I think the primary systems of both parties need help. The GOP really hurt itself with the winner take all states, especially with so many candidates in the early primaries. They ended up with Trump getting a significant number of votes, though far less than a majority of votes, and taking a whole state's delegates. He got all of the extreme votes and the rest split up the more moderate votes.<br /><br />Although it would be difficult for campaigning candidates, a National Primary Day would allow each state to vote on the entire slate of candidates on the same day and not just the ones not eliminated by previous states' primaries.

It needs an upgrade. A national primary. I'm tired of Iowa picking our candidates. Or maybe rotate a 10 state initial primary through all 50 states over the years.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017192454403363349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31636548.post-19174582066233162482016-07-29T09:13:42.108-05:002016-07-29T09:13:42.108-05:00Well said, John ...

I'm really interested in hearing why people justify supporting Donald Trump, and why there is so much visceral hatred for Hillary Clinton. She's not my idea of a great candidate, but neither is she the She-Devil from Hell that she's being painted by the opposition. This is a campaign season that is fact- and reality-challenged on both sides, but more on the right, which is sad when I consider myself to be a moderate economic and social conservative (and possibly the very last of them).Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.com
