Why I am not voting for Trump.
OK, that's an unusual title for a post by a Democrat here, something which should be a foregone conclusion. But this is a handy post that I can insert in social media when the Republicans and Evangelicals who are still connected to me on social media put up their right wing memes.

I'm going to link this to a social media post in the hopes of clearing out some of the right wing clutter that pops up there every now and then. So I'll divide my reasons up into different categories, just to make sure there's no mistaking where I'm coming from, or why.
From my perspective as a Christian, which does have some influence over my vote, Trump loses my support on his total lack of trustworthiness. My Dad taught me to have respect for the women I dated and for the one I would eventually marry. He said that a man who would lie to, and cheat on his wife will lie to everyone else and is a deceitful, dishonest fraud.
Trump has cheated on all three wives, making him, by biblical definition, an adulterer, a cheat, a liar and a fraud. While each of his subsequent wives were "the other woman" to his previous wife, he also gleefully and proudly confessed to "hundreds" of affairs. We know of several high profile affairs, including Stormy Daniels, whom he paid off to keep silcnce in order to protect his political career. He has never apologized, shown repentance or remorse, or otherwise acknowledged his poor treatment of the women whom he married.
That kind of dishonesty and evil behavior is a disqualifier, as far as I am concerned, for a man who is seeking the highest political office in the land.
And my Dad was right about the dishonesty, cheating, lying and fraud. Trump has also disqualified himself from office as a pathological liar. That's a moral character flaw that Christians once condemned in politicians, Clinton, for example, but now seem to either gloss over and allow a pass, or they've changed their perspective, and erased the ninth commandment, along with the sixth, from the biblical text.
