You didn't get much of anything right during the campaign, if you doubt that go back and read some of the stuff you put out on your 'Case Against" thread. Trump didn't need Cruz to pick up Texas. Further, the bias of political polls which supposedly revealed Texas, Alabama and Georgia were 'in play' has since been laid bare.


Feel strongly about whether God raised up DJT do you? God is involved deeply in the affairs of men, He is the One Who sets up kings and presidents.

Daniel 2:21 (KJV)
21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Romans 13:1
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Romans 9:17 (KJV)
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

Obviously though it is He Who sets them up, those who rule don't always fit our idea of good kings and leaders. Sometimes we deserve correction and not blessing. In 1 Samuel Chapter 8 we see the account of God setting up a king in Israel who did the land great disservice. The reason given was because the people rejected the judgeship of Samuel as intended and ordained of God, instead demanding a king be set over them, as in other lands. They got what they deserved, as God said to Samuel, "and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them;" Just as I believe America has over the past decades gotten the kind of Presidents her people have deserved. In exactly the same way as Israel, we have rejected the Godly tenets of Christianity and begun making laws more palatable to present taste.

But now we have a new leader in the person of Donald J Trump, and though history has not yet written his chapter, I am confident that he is there because it has been God's sovereign will to put him there. That is why I often return to my going down the drain analogy. We deserve judgment for the evil of abortion and the national advancement of depravity. It is my hope for the sakes of all Americans, that since the voter rejected the candidates and Party which champions those evils, He may spare us from the immediacy of certain judgment. Why He would do that is because He is just to forgive the sins of the penitent. Therefore it is my hope that the election results are the reflection of the beginnings of repentance among the people. If so, we could yet be out in the calmer waters of the drain vortex. If not, perhaps it was already too late and we're farther down the drain than may appear or is hoped. Either way, it is God Who sets up those who rule.

Did God also make theses leaders?

Roe v Wade Decision 1973
Majority
Harry Blackmun Nixon
Warren E. Burger. Nixon
William O. Douglas. FDR
William J. Brennan. Eisenhower
Potter Stewart. Eisenhower
Thurgood Marshall. FDR
Lewis Powell. Nixon
Minority
Byron White. Kennedy
William Rehnquist. Nixon

The Majority Justices must have all been liberals, yes? Perhaps appointed by Democratic presidents? Wrong. Blackmun, who penned the Supreme Court’s final Majority opinion, was appointed by Republican President Richard Nixon. Also appointed by Nixon were Burgher and Powell. So far, three of the seven Justices in the Majority were appointed by a Republican President. But do not forget that Brennan and Stewart were appointed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower. This means that five of the seven Majority Justices were appointed by Republican presidents (Douglas and Marshall were appointed by Democratic Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson, respectively). What’s more, take the two Democratic-appointed judges out of the Majority, and you are still left with all-Republican majority of the Court that legalizes abortion.
Only White (appointed by Democratic President John F. Kennedy) and Renquist (appointed by Nixon) opposed the Court’s decision to legalize abortion in the United States.
