Let me zoom out of this specific race and answer what trips up a lot of Christians when they're faced with... A) A candidate who seems nice but who wants to advance NET evil policies B) A candidate who wants to advance NET good policies, but seems like a jerk First, if a man wants to advance NET evil policies, he is not a good man, no matter how "nice" he seems. Wanting to legislate nation-or-state-wide sexual immorality is actually *worse* than personally committing sexual immorality... much worse. But second, let's imagine you're a Dad choosing a surgeon to operate on your child. SURGEON A will implant (rather than remove) cancer from your son, is telling you he will cut an artery, and if he does what he's telling you he will do, your son will slowly bleed our and die. SURGEON B has a generally good track record as a surgeon, is pledging to do the right things to try to put your son on a path to life and health, and has an irrefutable track record of aggressively attacking cancer... but he has had an affair. You stand back and say, "The lesser of two evils is still evil, I will not make a choice" and let other people decide for your son. ***overgeneralizations, all analogies are limited, etc etc all the caveats
