Ignored and attacked him for 8 years. So it's not "I hope they don't turn their back on folks". It's Evangelicals turned their back on folks with far less moral issues then Trump already.

So when kids see them supporting and praying with and blessing a man on his 3rd wife who paid off porn stars and prostitutes while married...

And ignoring a family man like Obama who married his first love and never had infidelity issues (that we know just to be fair), never had kids out of wedlock and never paid off porn stars etc. What do you say to them?

That's the issue with the visuals of all this.

Some religious "leaders" support Trump that didn't support Obama. so what? There are some on the flip side (supported Obama, don't support Trump), but again, so what?

Yes, I get it. They're supposedly moral leaders and they're appearing to be huge hypocrites in their support of Trump who probably can't even spell 'morals' let alone have any. 

So. What.

Are you an evangelical? A Christian? A member of the group of Christianity that these "leaders" are supposed to be a leader of? If so, okay, I can get your complaint. I, too, dislike people purporting to be Christians, but whose actions tell a different story, especially those who are supposedly leaders. 

But, if you, as I suspect, are none of these things then why do you care? Why do you care if certain Christian 'leaders' are hypocrites? Why do you care if Christianity's reputation is tarnished because of these guys?
