Sarah Sanders: God 'wanted Donald Trump to become president'

Yes. But they didn't last that long, did they?

You think there were no repercussions? Who can say what was God's purpose?



Life after Pol Pot - Khaleej Times



And, World War 2 changed America, didn't it?
The sleeping giant woke up......... to say the least.

Didnt last long?

60% didn't want Trump. YET, look who became President! :lamo

Yep, he did. I call 2016 the anti election. The election where one voted for the candidate they least wanted to lose, not the one they wanted to win, no choice there. But for the lesser of two evils, the least worst candidate, the candidate one least wants to lose.

Look at independents, 54% of them disliked and didn't want neither Trump nor Clinton. they made up around 40% of the total electorate. Independents put Trump into the white house. They voted for Trump 46-42 over Hillary with 12% voting third party, against both Trump and Hillary. What this simply means is among independents 23 of that 54% voted their convictions against both candidates by voting third party, the remaining 77% of those 54% of disliked and didn't want neither major party candidates voted for the candidate they least wanted to lose. Again, not for the one they wanted to win, but for the one they least wanted to lose.

One in Four Americans Dislike Both Presidential Candidates

If you add up those who voted against both major party candidates to the total of those who voted for the other candidate, you find 54% of all independents voted against Trump, 54% of all Americans also voted against Trump. Remember Trump received 46% of the total vote nationwide.

Yep, Trump won. No doubt about it. But you can see that those who disliked him on election day, even if they voted for him because they disliked Hillary more. You can see those 60% who disliked Trump on election pretty much continuing to disliked him through out his first two years of his presidency. Trump has been around 40% approval from day one through today, He can't even break 45%. The graph is just below all the polls.

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Trump Job Approval

You also seen it in the midterms with the Democratic congressional candidates receiving 54% of the total vote to Republican congressional candidates getting 45%.

To be fair, had Hillary won she would have had the same numbers as Trump as close to 60% of America didn't want her either.
 
Presumably then anyone who votes Democrat is guilty of Blasphemy.

I have heard evangelical types on the radio say that at least twice. The way one phrased it, "I would have to question the salvation of anyone that would vote for a Democrat".

The right-wing corporatist Republican jesus.
 
Can your God cause itself to cease to exist ?

No. It once again isn't a limit to his power, but rather another attempt to defy logic... You are getting at God's property of necessary existence (which is part of his identity). God cannot lack the property of necessary existence and still be God... IF God could cause himself to cease to exist, you would be opening up a possible world in which God lacked the 'necessary existence' property, thus God would not be 'necessarily existing' in the first place, thus God would not even be God.

God can't cause himself to cease to exist much like a guy can't cause himself to be a married bachelor.

You're missing the point. What you gave would actually support that God wanted Trump to become President.
Just think about it - you say 60% don't want him, and yet look where he is.
 
Your post, and that site you link, prove my point. Christianity in America has become a political and corporate tool. It seeks power and profit. Power and profit are as godless as you can get. It's both sad and amusing.

Exactly...Jesus Christ is neither demo or rep...He is for God's Theocracy, nothing else...

Power and profit are godless?

It's God who places men in positions of power (Romans 13) to do good for mankind.

And profit (money) is not evil in and of itself. It's the LOVE of money that's evil, and that's what Christianity teaches.

Beware of left-wing buffoonery that calls capitalism evil. Capitalism has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty.

That site scholarship is nonexistant, it's biased, bigoted, and insane.

58% didn't want Clinton either. One had to win even when a majority wanted neither. That is how the two party system is. God had nothing to do with it. If the Democrats had nominated a decent candidate instead of the baggage laden, aloof, elitist Hillary, Trump would have lost by 15 or more points. Trump is the luckiest SOB around to be matched against someone as much disliked as he was.

You could look at this way, 38% of Americans wanted Hillary, 36% wanted Trump. Not even close to a majority for either one. Trump however won the least wanted to lose, the lesser of two evils, the least worst candidate vote. There just happened to be more anti Clinton voters than anti Trump voter. Few actually wanted either one.

Dominionists and premillinialists think they need to set up a theocracy here. They are probably the most anti-American people in the country.

They make a god of power and money. That's what they seek. That's where their efforts are directed. That's where their faith lies.

No one mentioned capitalism. I don't think capitalism or wealth are inherently good or evil. Blind greed is another matter.

God can't defy logic? God has properties?

I dug into that site a couple of times. It's extremely political.

Did any of these folks uses Romans 13 to explain their support for Obama? I mean, Obama was POTUS because god put him there, right?

I agree. I'm just pointing out that they only apply it that way when it serves their political motives.

That was to set the stage for Trump to show America and the world why the policies of the Obama's of the world don't work.

That is just twisting the bible to fit your political ideology. I'm a little surprised you'd be that blatant.

After all, in the Old Testament God allowed Saul to be king even though he knew he wasn't the best one for the job. God allowed it due to the harping of the people. Just like Obama.
