Huckabee claims Trump was appointed by God. Scripturally this is correct since God appoints rulers but it has been a long time since anyone claimed to be an anointed king. Trump is about as far from a desirable ruler as you could get, but he might possess qualities that could get the job done, depending upon which job you wanted done. Protecting Israel, I could see him doing that. Facing down bullies, he certainly has done that. Looking after the helpless, jury is still out on that one, but one thing is obvious he is neither the godless Clinton or the Muslim Obama

A person expressed her personal religious opinion. Not the end of the world, but your observations are, I think, pretty accurate. He is certainly far from perfect, but I do think we took a step up. I must admit I sometimes wondered how in the world we ended up choosing between Clinton and Trump.

You don't know, take off your blinders. Trump bullied all the other candidates off the platform, and then to his surprise, he was the last man standing. His ego wouldn't let him say opps! And so he had to go on with it, hoping Hilliary would win, which was the plan, for Trump to be a spoiler for the Republican campaign. He looked like he opposed every one of the demonrat policies, but in reality, he has fiddled at the edges, shouting to the mob about how great he thinks he is

Pretty wild theory with no evidence.

You have answered your own question.

I won't blame God for the actions of humans. Maybe this is the wake up call America needs to keep it real.

Romans 13:1

If you mean waking up to our need to respect and honor God and have faith in His Son, then I'm with you. That would require an abandoning of a number of things ranging from sex outside of marriage to re-embracing traditional marriage and the right of unborn babies to live.

Saying it twice won't make it happen, these things are an indication america has lost its soul, but you have many fellow travellers

Well stated.

As to why it is on there twice, I have no idea. Must have been a senior moment.

Where is our supposed God-appointed government authority is all of that?

The institution of government is God ordained. The people in those positions, last time I checked, are humans and subject to error. David as king was about as God appointed as it gets, but he made serious blunders.

David finally has been outdone!

I was thinking about his transgressions.

On my opinion, God is putting everyone on our own places. And He has His reasons. God sent these rulers on their positions on each of every countries for a wonderful reasons. And it's up to them if they will rule the country with the light of God or with their manly rules.

That is such a funny request. I guess if we can only come up with merely eight, then he must be OK? Is that how it works now? "Oh, it's only eight. You know it has to be 10 for a guy to be truly corrupt. Only six or eight would mean he is only marginally corrupt."

At any rate,

1. Fast and Furious gun running.
2. VA scandal
3. Non response to Benghazi
4. Lying about Benghazi repeatedly.
5. IRS scandal.
6. Pigford scandal.
7. 500 mil wasted on Solyndra.
8. Black Panthers scandal.
9. "I'll have more flexibility once the election is over."
10. AG Lynch meets with B Clinton and Obama takes no action whatsoever.
11. Rosengate.
12. Declining to enforce laws.
13. Refused to hold HC accountable for violating the law with her toy email server.
BONUS: Referred to HC as "the most qualified candidate for president ever", a politically-motivated lie so blatant that even a rock-ribbed Clinton supporter would have blushed.

For your convenience, I listed 13 plus a bonus.

To be clear, I have no problem with people being critical of Trump, but when he is repeatedly criticized for basically the same kinds of things that Obama did, then you have to be ready to be equally critical of Obama. If Trump is a dufus, then Obama was a double-dufus, or at least a dufus and a half. (WW 2 vets will recognize that pun.)
