1. Take a moment to look at this link to see where each candidate stands on 75 issues dealing with this country. It is clear to me who stands the most behind Christian morals and beliefs.

2016 Presidential Candidate Positions on 75 Issues - 2016 Presidential Election - ProCon.org


2. Once I go and see where each candidate stands, I look at the history of each candidate. Which all three are way better than Hillary's history based on corruption, scandals, lies, shadiness, and past political deals.

3. Then I look at how each candidate's personality. Trump- impolite, Clinton- I feel like she's a good actor, Johnson- mature, Stein- mature.

4. Experience- All have in my opinion enough experience.

5. Seek God's guidance in prayer.

5. So I take all 5 into my choice and by where Trumps stands on the issues I back him compared to the other 3. His history has some flaws but who doesn't. Still, his history to me is a no brainer compared to Clinton's. Trump's personality could use some work but I have no doubt he will get the hang of it. All have enough experience in my opinion. And when I seek God on these issues basically this post is where my Holy Spirit is making me feel. I may just be a small town American who lives in a republican state and surrounded by people who think the same as me, but I stay open minded and always question why I believe a certain way. Is it biblical? Do my beliefs back scripture? Does it make common sense? And will their decisions keep America on the same path to destruction?

I always vote straight ticket Republican but if I vote for Trump my wife says that I will be sleeping on the couch. She's not for Hillary either and will probably do a write-in. My write-in will be Bernie 'cause he was her nemesis during the primaries.

Your right to a secret ballot shall not be impeached by marriage.

The Supreme Court is too critical to be left to HRC.

For the cause of Christ

We should all write in Jesus, He's the only one that can really straighten out this mess. Instead of voting for two highly flawed candidates.... At least we would vote for the One who is really in charge.

I'm still way more mad about what Hillary has done than by anything Trump has said.

Hillary is a career Criminal and having Donald Trump as president would be like a chimpanzee with a machine gun. I might just sit this one out

But how does sitting out solve any problem? This is my point I see where they stand on the issues and I cannot deny what trump stands for compared to Hillary. Yes, he may be rude but it is either that or a known career criminal. I do not even count third parties being an option because never in history have they ever been chosen. They are not in the mainstream media and people just don't know who they are. Is it fair, well no. But If things get out of control we as a country should practice our right to impeach corrupted leaders. All I am saying is this election is a joke but I will still cast my vote where it will count. Not being third party which would be wasted and that leave Clinton or Trump. And I sure not voting for Clinton. I do not like Trump's personality but I will not judge just off of that assumption. I like what he stands for since many reflect my choice from a moral biblical stand point. Can I trust his stance on the issues? I dont know but it is all I can go off of.

Only he doesn't really stand for anything because it's all rhetoric and talking points

Like I said all candidates can be great talkers but I want to see doers. All we can go off of is what they say right now. There stance on the issues iis all we have. Or else any candidate would be considered rhetoric and talking points.

I believe God intended this nation to be built with the foundation to worship him. So I am thankful we can at least fight and vote for our freedom of religion. I know Jesus has a plan and I will do my best to vote biblical since my nation was created to protect my right to freedom. Best country in the world!

Thats a good way to find out whom to vote. In the first sight i would say you cant vote both of them. In germany it is not different. Yes we have more partys, but for a christian who will follow Jesus it becomes more difficult to vote the right party.
Everywhere christian way (what the bible teaches) of thinking is going back and worldly anti christian influences are growing.
I suppose whoever will rule in future will make the way free for the antichristsystem. Its what the bible says.
The question for us is, how to live in the time we have left.

Yes and this is why I vote the best way I can because they also will control my freedoms which includes my freedom of religion which is being attacked in this country. They will control the safety of my country and also make decisions which gets our young men and woman killed in battle over politics. And who they will elect for our supreme court stays there until retirement or death. Which is stupid to me. How about 4 or 8 year terms. I will pray for yall.
