I agree, Trump much more dangerous for his lack of self control. Pence though, is a political animal who follows the scent of success for himself at all cost, even fealty to a clearly immoral leader. So, should he become President, the dangers he presents would be his aberant view of Christian faith’s place in American society and how low he would sink to keep his new position. The Pences of this world are the kind of people the Trumps of this world use to gain power & wealth. We can hope for the best and pray he (Pence) would rise to be a better leader than his past.

A few names of influence (Richard Foster, Rich Mouw, Ron Sider), but it’s a little disappointing that they only got 15 signers compared to the 200 or so Court Evangelicals who signed the pro-Trump letter. I had hoped to see some more influential names that I’m pretty sure are opposed to the Court Evangelicals, like Tim Keller or Scot McKnight or Beth Moore or Phillip Yancey or Boz Tchividjian.

Perhaps, Trump strikes me as a more dangerous version but I am trying look at this from the perspective of a Trump supporter. When they say the choice is Trump v. liberal Dem, I counter that is not true. It is Trump v. Pence.

When I look at Pence I see a milk-toast, wimpy yes-man for Trump’s lies and he manages to get in a few of his own. How these Christians ever think they’ll get to see their god is beyond my ken.

Mike Pence = Trump minus the crude vitriol = minor, superficial improvement. Sigh.
