Measuring Americans by beliefs, not self-identity, makes a big difference in 2016 election polls.

Americans with evangelical beliefs have a great deal in common. They trust in Jesus alone, evangelize their neighbors, and believe the Bible is the final authority in their lives.

But when it comes to voting, race and political affiliation still divide evangelicals, according to a survey from LifeWay Research taken before the second presidential debate.

Overall, the split between those with evangelical beliefs who support Donald Trump (45%) and those who support Hillary Clinton (31%) isn’t that far apart.

The divide becomes clearer when respondents are split by race.

White Americans with evangelical beliefs favor Trump (65%) over Clinton (10%). Those with evangelical beliefs who are African American, Hispanic American, or Asian American vote virtually the opposite, favoring Clinton (62%) over Trump (15%).

Party affiliation is also a stronger predictor of voting preferences than faith. Three-quarters of Republicans with evangelical beliefs plan to vote for Trump. Though a smaller sample, 75 percent of Democrats with evangelical beliefs plan to vote for Clinton.

Jesus said "blessed are the peacemakers" , Republicans say "bomb, bomb bomb Iran, send troops to Syria, kill the mothers, fathers, wives and children of Isis"

Jesus said "depart from me for I never knew you , I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was naked and you did not clothe me, I was homeless and you did not take me in "   Republicans say " they are just too lazy to work, cut off their food stamps"

On and on it goes, 
 How anyone who considers themselves to be a Christian, (one who follows Christ teachings) , and vote for Republicans is beyond me

While ISIS must be destroyed, the hard left is expecting Hillary to get the US in a real war about two months after she takes office according to their blogs.

Proverbs 18:9 

Whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys.

Proverbs 13:4 

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

Proverbs 10:4-5 

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.

Proverbs 21:25 

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

Proverbs 6:6-11 

Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, ...

The Democrats do love to start wars, but who will she blame it on? Too, she loves the Muslims, and hates Christians, and will be shipping in even more terrorists than Obama has done so far.

Children of Israel were lead by God to defeat their enemies several times in the Bible.  God does not require us to sit by and do nothing to protect ourselves.   Also, to let ISIS continue to butcher and torture anyone under their foot would be the same as letting Hitler continue.  I am a Christian and sleep well at night voting republican,  funny many demos have the above posted ideas but a ok with killing a living baby.
