Michele Bachmann: God picked Trump to be the GOP nominee
Source: The Hill
Former Minnesota Rep. and Donald Trump's evangelical adviser Michele Bachmann said that Donald Trump was "raised up" by God to win in the general election. “This is one thing I know from the Book of Daniel: the bottom line of the Book of Daniel is this: it teaches us that the most high God lifts up who He will and takes down who he will," she said in an interview with The Brody File that was released on Tuesday. "I actually supported Ted Cruz. I thought he was fabulous but I also see that at the end of the day God raised up, I believe Donald Trump who was going to be the nominee in this election. I don’t think God sits things out. He’s a sovereign God. Donald Trump became our nominee," Bachmann continued in the interview, which was conducted on Friday. "I think it’s very likely that in the day that we live in, that Donald Trump is the only individual who could win in a General Election of the seventeen who ran. Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know but I do know that the Bible is true and that Daniel teaches the most high God which is one of God’s names is the one who lifts up who he will and takes down who He will..."

From Alan.com
The God Squad! These GOP Candidates Say God Told Them To Run Scott Walker The Wisconsin governor describes his presidential bid as “God’s plan,” explaining that his political decisions are guided by God, not voters. John Kasich John Kasich waited for a message from God before becoming the 16th Republican to enter the presidential race this week. During an appearance on NBC’s ”Meet The Press” earlier this year, Gov. Kasich explained to host Chuck Todd that he was exploring what the Lord wants before to deciding to enter the race Ben Carson “I believe God will make it clear to me if that’s something I’m supposed to do,” Ben Carson told Fox News last August, adding that he would run “if God grabbed him by the collar and asked him to run.” Rick Perry Perry told CNN, “I’m getting more and more comfortable every day that this is what I’ve been called to do. This is what America needs,” before telling a radio host he decided to run after a message from God. Rick Santorum Rick Santorum’s family also had a divine understanding of what compelled his presidential ambitions. “… We have prayed a lot about this decision, and we believe with all our hearts that this is what God wants.” Mike Huckabee Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee recently said “For me, this is not just a political or financial decision, it is a spiritual decision. You know, the only thing worse than not being elected president would be to be elected president without God’s blessing. I can’t think of a worse place in the world to be than in the Oval Office without God’s hand upon you. ------------- Then there was the great white Mormon hope, Mitt Romney. You know, prophesy and all. You'd think after a while, they wouldn't fall for this particular prank anymore. Alas.....god just keeps getting away with a continual pull-my-finger joke with them. They fall for it every single time. |

Trump is not Jack Armstrong, The All-American Boy. Among his other atrocities, he sells liquor and commits adultery. It's too late to shove a known Bible beater on the ticket to counterbalance him, so they are attempting to prove Trump is God-chosen to keep True Christians from staying home in November.
But seriously guys, does anyone believe God would have anything to do with a guy who's being hauled into court in California for swindling grandmothers out of their retirement savings? |
