A person's character matters because that is the determining factor of how they will govern others.
Character is a pattern of behavior, thoughts and feelings based on universal principles, moral strength, and integrity – plus the guts to live by those principles every day. Character is evidenced by your life’s virtues and the “line you never cross.” Character is the most valuable thing you have, and nobody can ever take it away. http://www.citrs.org/what-is-character/why-is-character-so-important/
One candidate is a traditional politician that has been known to escape from justice by some magical power, that keeps her from being held accountable for breaking man-made and moral laws. The American political system from which she sprung is corrupt, broken and seems beyond repair.
On the other hand, her opponent, is not a traditional politician and declares himself of being sin free from political corruption; although as a businessman, he has plenty of dirt on his hands, paying off politicians.
Both candidates were once best friends; and may still be, for all we little people may know. They both run in the same underground, circle of indiscretions, that would put any poorer man in jail. They are the "Untouchables" when it comes to the laws and most recently, their immoral behavior.
After hearing for months that Donald Trump could lose the election, if all the Republicans did not come out to vote. The non-supporters of Trump were considered traitors to the Republican candidate; not to the Republican party per se; as many Republicans believe that Trump is more Liberal from his past conduct. He has supported Democrats and their policies more often; including his opponent, Hillary Clinton who is running on the Democrat ticket.
Never mind the moral issues of Donald Trump; it's only Hillary Clinton's morals that are more destructive, according to the Trump supporters.
The two choices
Both are probably the most "openly" dirtiest fighters for the highest office in the country. The supporters of these two candidates are so unwavering in their commitment that they will defend their candidate all the way to Hell.
Case in point:
I was watching Neil Cavuto, commentator on conservative Fox News channel, the other day interviewing a pastor who was a committed Trump supporter.
It was a most telling sign of the day as Cavuto asked the pastor, "What would you tell a young couple with children that did not want to vote for Trump?" Siting that the couple considers Trump to be an immoral person for the President of the United States?
The pastor, becoming excitable, said that he would urge this young couple to vote for Trump because Hillary would win, if they didn't.
As of last week, Trump, having been caught on tape saying that he "likes to grab pussy" without the consent from women, is known to slander his opponents. He is not held accountable by his supporters for lying or demeaning soldiers, the disabled, POWs, women and honorable people.
He has also admitted that he 'never asks God for forgiveness' because he is doing the best he can do and he doesn't feel the need to ask for forgiveness; as if, his sins are not sinful enough, to him at least.
He, also, never feels the need to apology to "anyone;" least of all, to his supporters who defend his transgressions. I wonder if they ask God to forgive him. Think not, since Trump and his supporters seem to think the "non-supporters" of Trump are the ones who need to ask them for forgiveness, for not voting for Trump.

I am not a pastor, but my first thought: a pastor would better service God by asking Trump for God's forgiveness, instead of his/her congregation to lower their morals to vote for a person who admits that he has "never" asked for God's forgiveness because he doesn't feel he has too." He says he prays, but for what, if not for forgiveness or thanks?
When Trump supporters tell me that humans are not perfect and should be forgiven; I never heard Trump ask me or God for forgiveness. He doesn't apologize to anyone. He half heartedly apologized for the recent video of himself degrading women, as if, they were merchandise for the taking, by saying "if he offended anyone." Calling this transgression "locker room banter" that 'all' men use. Assuming 'all men' try to lure a married women into a location for the sole purpose to have sex with her, or grope her without her consent.
We are not just talking about some guy on the street that no one knows, we are talking about the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES position. Once the most powerful person in the world, until Barack Obama came into office and degraded the position to "please, spank me, Putin and Rouhani;" two of Obama's favorite dominators. But I digress into the bowels of politics and how it degrades
even spiritual leaders to sell their soul and worse; to condemn their followers of Christ: forsaking HIM for the likes of Donald Trump; or Hillary Clinton for that matter.
