8 reasons why some Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump

A recent blog post by Southern Baptist pastor Peter Lumpkins explains eight reasons why he thinks many people identified as Evangelicals are voting for what one commenter who voted for him called (in quotes) a "misogynist, racist, sexual predator" conservative. I list and call attention to his eight reasons below.
  1. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House threatens the future of the United States
  2. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House forges the Supreme Court toward a Leftward direction for at least the next generation
  3. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House seals the destruction of the 2nd Amendment
  4. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House disassembles our Military and needlessly put our sons and daughters in harm's way
  5. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House advances the culture of death, and in every conceivable way, pushes an abortion on demand and euthanasia agenda to extremes we've not experienced in the United States
  6. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House continues a fatal attack on religious liberty and especially discriminates against conservative Christian beliefs and values in society generally and education particularly
  7. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House increases socialized medicine by extending Obamacare's failed policies further into the lives of American citizens
  8. Evangelicals are voting for Donald Trump because they're convinced a Clinton White House loosens even more the failed immigration laws we presently have so as to endanger the lives of American people by implementing more open border policies, offering mass amnesty for illegal immigrants, and through insufficient patrol, encourages terrorists to enter our borders by stealth.
Every evangelical will not agree with all 8 reasons -- I know some who make the decision for Trump based on only one. I call attention to this, even though many know I won't be voting for Trump, because (1) Christians who make this choice are railed against by other Christians as unchristian hypocrites, and (2) Peter has concisely explained why many have made this choice that is railed against by other Christians, including Evangelicals.
