My Perspective On President Trump’s Super Tuesday by Robert Socha
Last week, I wrote about Donald Trump’s decisive win in Michigan’s primary and closed with hope. With his Super Tuesday triumph yesterday, the path to victory is all but secured. The funniest response to the overwhelming success is that because his CIMO (competitor in media only) was able to pull a slim margin victory in Vermont, the day was not only called a disappointment for the Trump campaign but a setback. What a load of malarky these unhinged responses are, spoken and written by buffoons.
Barring chicanery that would make 2020 look like the most secure election of all time, Donald Trump should win the day in November despite the unhinged, illegal, immoral, and unprecedented attacks and interference on his election campaign. I hope that my assertion is correct. It is necessary to clarify that although I hope President Trump prevails, I do not put my hope in Donald Trump himself, nor his election victory. As the old hymn states, “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and Righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.”
Why the need to clarify the distinction?
Joy. Unspeakable joy.
I do not find joy in the political process or in any election victory, although when candidates I favor win, it does make me happy. However, that happiness subsides as soon as the government gets back to work. The political process is a necessary component of life in these times and requires diligence and perseverance to remain engaged. The task is time-consuming, cumbersome, and thankless. It can sap energy and emotion, crippling even the strongest competitors. On the other hand, it is necessary to protect the rights of the people so they can live their lives unmolested by bureaucracy.
I find joy in knowing that He is, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, that my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and that because He chose to endure the Cross, I have received forgiveness of sins and a place among those sanctified by faith in Him. I find joy in the journey, believing that the evidence of faith gives me strength to carry on, including engaging in the political process here on earth, while maintaining my spiritual condition through reading the Word, prayer, and confession.
“Weariness may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning,” Psalm 30:5.
While I hope Donald Trump wins, should the powers of discord, disenfranchisement, and disinformation prevail, either way, I will trust in Jesus’ name. I put my hope in Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection, and invitation to come to Him.
