Evangelicals moving from T**** to DeSantis

[RussBLib]

From one charlatan to another. Yes, Pence helped to corral the evangelicals for Trump. Sure would be nice if todays Christians actually followed Jesus principles. I know it's all make-believe already, though, so they can actually do anything they want without fear of hell or damnation.

Christian leaders start to break from Trump — with an eye on DeSantis
The cracks in the former president’s unlikely alliance were clearer than ever this week

Longtime evangelical pastor Brad Cranston voted twice for Donald Trump — he wasn’t perfect, Cranston reasoned, but he appointed conservative judges and advanced the antiabortion cause. Last year, he thought he could back Trump again.

But Trump’s flaws have only grown in Cranston’s eyes, as the former president launches a third bid for the White House while criticizing abortion opponents at times and fixating on “himself” and his 2020 election loss rather than “on the country and on the issues.” Now, Cranston is drawn to other prospective candidates with a “strong biblical worldview.”

“The one who I really think has the best chance and is a fighter is Ron DeSantis,” said Cranston, the Iowa-based founder of a national group called Baptists for Biblical Values. The second-term governor of Florida “has had the courage to take on the woke crowd,” he added.

One of DeSantis’s reelection ads last fall pitched him as someone on a divine mission, with a deep voice declaring that God “made a fighter” on the eighth day of creation — DeSantis. The governor’s positioning has caught the attention of Trump and his allies, who have sometimes targeted him with public criticism.
