Huge Reversal! NY Times Bestselling Author and "Never Trumper" Joel C. Rosenberg Votes FOR Trump

Joel C. Rosenberg : Nov 4, 2016  Charisma News

“Hillary Clinton must never be elected president under any circumstances. She must be stopped.” — Joel C. Rosenberg

(Israel) — [Charisma News] This is not easy for me. I did not get to this point lightly. Rather, it has been a matter of intense examination of the candidates and party platforms, studying the Scriptures—particularly 1 Sam. 8-12—and listening to many thoughtful voices in the debate.

Anyone who has been tracking my writing during the course of this campaign knows how deeply concerned I am about Mr. Trump—his lack of experience, flip-flopping on issues, and the unkind and at times even vulgar or vitriolic language he uses against his critics. I had hoped he would be defeated in the primaries. Or challenged by a plausible third party candidate. Or would drop out after the release of the deeply offensive video of him speaking with Billy Bush.

But this is where we are. Now, it is truly is a binary choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. There's no way around it, and the moment of decision has arrived.

True, I had previously stated that I could "never" vote for Mr. Trump. So I readily concede this is a reversal. I have no doubt I will disappoint some for changing my position. But this is where I am, and I want to explain how I got here.

I could never support Hillary. Indeed, much of my professional life has been fighting the Clintons, dating back to when I worked for Bill Bennett and Jack Kemp at Empower America, and for Rush Limbaugh as director of research. So the question for me has been this: Should I vote for Trump, a third-party candidate, a write-in candidate, or not vote at all? For many of my friends, this hasn't been a difficult choice. For me, it's been difficult to determine which of my deeply held convictions should be elevated as paramount, even when the others I hold so dearly are being violated.

To be sure, my vote is not more important than anyone else's. I know many Americans are struggling the same way I am. Indeed, in writing this I'm not even trying to persuade you to agree with me. I have friends whose deepest convictions tell them they simply cannot vote for Mr. Trump, that they will trust the sovereignty of God and live with the consequences. I respect them. I don't question their motives. I know exactly where they're coming from.

But for those who are interested, here are 10 reasons why I have decided to vote for the Trump-Pence ticket…
