  • Skip the first ten minutes. It's an irritatingly long intro. to the evening.
  • I was a conservative in 1988. Character was important to me then and it still is now! However I’m not a conservative anymore. I’m a centrist! The conservative partly is no longer anything I want anything to do with. I couldn’t ever be a liberal either!!

    Metaxas minimizing the significance of the alt-right at the end of the debate is astounding.
  • @bubbaburke
    Mindblowing. Metaxas wrote a wonderful biography of Bonhoeffer. For him to be this confused and dismissive of Trump's "1984" methods is beyond me. A side note. Only 40% of all Christians declare themselves to be Republican (Pew Report). David French did an excellent job.

    Trust in the Lord to preserve HIS people
  • @bman11714
    Oh the irony to watch this a year later
  • Eric: Very short game for some gain, high price later. David: Long game, hold fast to your values, rewards later.
  • You can't vote the Kingdom of God into being. Christ didn't come to earth to save Roman government. That is why character is destiny, and why it is more important than any policy.
  • @timcarp1964
    Eric, I think we know the Chevy Chase SNL line. It just wasn't appropriate. C'mon. That was a Trump line.
  • David French thinks so much for thoroughly illuminating the questions in a non-partisan way. Eric seems to be quite the Trump sycophant.
  • Christians should pray and fast and take that issue to God and seek His wisdom. Period.
  • @Trove_8551
    I gave this a thumbs up because of the clear minded, reality-based statements from David French. That other guy Eric Metaxas just makes up information and spits it out, which makes sense that he supports trump.
  • @ibablo

  • @MBroam
    This is even more interesting watching after the election and after the events of Jan 6th.
  • @martifingers
    Knowing what we know now , has anyone changed their mind on this debate?
  • @minimoe2807
    So glad to hear Eric make it clear that he does not feel Trunp is a Spirit filled Evangelical Christian. I think some Christians may actually believe he is?!?
