Exactly. Exactly! I would have much more respect for THAT instead of all the twisting and turning and rationalization they talk themselves into.

This is a hopeful sign. Perhaps redemption is possible, not for Trump perhaps, but for some Evangelicals.

Thanks to NPR for reporting on this.

Not really. The only reason they're concerned is because the Stormy Daniels story has legs and isn't fading away like they hoped it would. The way it's been dominating the news, they have no choice but to address it now.

But rest assured, if they could have simply turned their heads away and waited it out without having to deal with it, they would have.

No redemption here, just practicality.

They are just as undeserving of respect as they ever were.

Absolutely they would.

Evangelicals are one of the most hypocritical groups of people in the United States.

Race is a factor. Non-white evangelicals have pretty much the same beliefs as far as religion is concerned but their politics couldn't be more different. And when you think about it, the idea of "Christian America" that Republicans want to impose on everyone is a very white-bread version centered around fundamentalist Protestantism.

NOW - they wax romantically about how God chooses an 'imperfect man' to work through.

Again, Trump has exposed the evangelicals for exactly what they are - hypocrites.
You just want evangelicals to stay home and not vote so the spirit of lawlessness (antichrist) can metastasize further.

I actually heard one admit to this. I forget where.

It was refreshing.

Pharisees. They voted into power a man who embodies all seven of the deadly sins, yet they proclaim their piety - loudly - to the world.
