David Barton: Trump ‘God’s guy’ in the election
Evangelist David Barton knows the mind of God better than you do.
Click here for reuse options!Barton, who has already made clear that he will be voting for Trump despite the fact that he ran a super PAC supporting Ted Cruz, explained that since Christians were very active in the Republican primaries, they must conclude that Trump’s victory was part of God’s plans.
“One thing I know for sure is that in the race of primaries, we had a lot really good God guys in there,” Barton said. “And we had a huge turnout of professing Christians and evangelicals and others, so there is nothing to complain about that we didn’t get a voice, we didn’t get a candidate. We had great candidates to choose from and this is who the people chose, and this is who the people chose with a really high turnout of evangelicals. So I kind of look back and say, ‘Hmmm, I wonder where God’s fingerprint is in this?’ because this is not necessarily a failure of the church.”
“This may not be our preferred candidate, but that doesn’t mean it may not be God’s candidate to do something that we don’t see,” he said. “We may look back in a few years and say, ‘Wow, he really did some things that none of us expected.’ So I am fully open to the possibility that because we did everything as Christians that we could, we can’t complain about our turnout, we can’t complain about our quality of candidates, and this is what the people chose; I’m a whole lot more open to the fact that God may have something going here that is much bigger than what we think or see.”

David Barton is an Evangelical Pastor, revisionist historian….
Little of what he says, or writes is based in reality….

Yeah, right. Gawd probably picked the biggest loser for you clowns to teach ya’ll a lesson

I would like to think that Donald Trump is God’s candidate. The Supreme Being in her infinite wisdom recognizes that Hillary Clinton is the better choice and she is making damn sure that the Republican opponent will be a textbook example of how not to win a Presidential election.

When did god become a republican?
Roctuna June 30th, 2016 at 19:08
You missed that? It was around about 1980 I believe.
granpa.usthai June 30th, 2016 at 23:45
yep.
POTUS Carter sipped a bit of champagne at a state function and god said to heck with this watery wine stuff, I’m going with the guys that stick with hard liquors.

It certainly is curious. In recent years, a number of socially conservative politicians have publicly declared that their political aspirations were the result of “speaking with God”, some even going so far as to insist that their election campaigns were “God’s will”.
Carson, Cruz, Huckabee, Santorum, Walker, Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Gingrich, Palin, … and Romney — all had cited some form of covenant with the Lord as a key motivator in their pursuit for higher office, including the quest for the presidency.
And yet each had his/her campaign for the presidential GOP nominee either never materialize, quickly crash and burn, or gradually founder.
So what insights can we glean from this turn of events?
Perhaps God has a perverse sense of humor, as He appears to have PUNK’D each of these POTUS wannabes.
So Donald — that snickering sound that you hear is not the good Lord laughing WITH you ….

Or maybe it’s like we all know….god doesn’t exist. Never did, never will. And these guys are all just liars.

“we had a lot really good God guys in there,”
OH god send us a sign…
granpa.usthai June 30th, 2016 at 23:36
just any old sign will do?

The question that we now have to answer is, Which god? Otherwise, based on what Mr. Barton has said, wouldn’t you have to conclude that the current POTUS is also “God’s guy”?

the current POTUS is a Hawaiian with a really great Maui tan.
only white leaders can be the chosen of god, because god is white wears a white dress sits on a white throne in a white heaven that ain’t got no sh*tters.

Granpa.USthai: “the current POTUS is a Hawaiian with a really great Maui tan.
only white leaders can be the chosen of god, because god is white wears a white dress sits on a white throne in a white heaven that ain’t got no sh*tters.”
Well, in all “fairness,” since, at a point in time, they did also anoint Mr. Ted Cruz, a Hispanic,
as the “chosen one of God,” I wouldn’t really say that they believe that “ “only white leaders can be the chosen of god.”:
Glenn Beck: God took Scalia to give America Ted Cruz as president
By Dylan Byers, CNN Updated 12:02 PM ET, Thu February 18, 2016
From Article:
“Glenn Beck believes that God brought about the death of Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia in order to encourage Americans to vote for Ted
Cruz.
On Tuesday, the conservative radio host and Cruz supporter assumed the voice of God to explain to listeners how Scalia’s death was a divine wake up call for conservatives.”
B. Kenneth Copeland Declares That Ted Cruz Has Been ‘Called And Anointed’
By God To Be The Next President
Kyle Mantyla on Friday, 2/5/2016 2:37 pm RightWing Watch
From Article: “Earlier this year, Ted Cruz’s father and primary presidential campaign surrogate, Rafael, spoke at televangelist Kenneth Copeland’s church in Texas, where thecontroversial prosperity gospel preacher declared that Ted Cruz has been anointed by God to be the next president.
Copeland, who believes that he can destroy the Ebola virus by speaking in tongues, introduced the elder Cruz by asserting that “I believe, with all my heart, that his son is called and anointed to be the next president of the United States.””

Get a grip and choose your own life you mindless sheeple!

Barton’s reasoning is suspiciously similar to that backing the divine right of kings.
“God made him king, so the fact that he’s torturing all of the peasants must be God’s will.”
Once a lying, devious guttersnipe, always a lying, devious guttersnipe.
Barton doesn’t have a clue what being a Christian is.

trump IS the foul odor of fat bastard’s farts.
FDRliberal July 1st, 2016 at 00:46
Trump worships one, and only one almighty God – himself.
HSkol July 1st, 2016 at 00:50
Hold on … hold on … Trump doesn’t know that I’m the god? That stooooopid bastard.
fahvel July 1st, 2016 at 02:51
pure and simple abject insanity. how the hell do these things walk and talk?
rostee67 July 1st, 2016 at 10:34
Maybe David Barton (R) should stop looking at the “Devil’s” picture of defeat and focus on GOD”S portrait of success! Then again, David Barton (R) has form by also supporting TED (The Evil Devil) Cruz (R) TX.

Why does trump need ” a god guy ” at his age ? If trump doesn’t know religion by now,he sure won’t get it from this clown.
