There is something to that I think. The far-left leaning of the Democratic Party is pushing an agenda of beliefs in a number of areas. For many of us Christians, I suspect, there is not a great choice in either candidate, as they both have significant baggage. But maybe that's just our crazy human condition - lots of baggage!

If Tump does win again, I suspect a major reason will be a reaction from many fearing how far left the democrats have swung. (of course there's also the recent Supreme Court opening with Ginsburg's passing. SHAMELESS PLUG --> I just started a thread on that subject: Supreme Opportunity Thread )
