You won't find the truth in the Bible, unless you first (or also) find it within yourself.
Neither Trump nor Clinton represent Biblical ideals. I think that Clinton is a Secular Humanist who advocates the killing of unborn babies. I think that Trump is areligious with no concern for any religion.
Secular Humanists have no real use for the Bible.
We can choose and select which beliefs and behaviors by Clinton or Trump to label as in accord with Biblical ideals, or not. There's plenty to focus on either way.
Many secular humanists have great interest in the Bible. By making blanket statements like that, it seems to me you are not following Jesus' advice. Take the moat out of your own eye.
There are many factors.
A key one to me is the killing of unborn babies supported by Obama and Clinton.
Many "unborn babies" will always be killed by their mothers. The difference is whether we allow the mothers to live afterward or not.
Show me chapter and verse where Jesus says abortion is not allowed.
Otherwise, it is just your interpretation of "Christianity" against mine. It is anyway, of course. Always, anyone's interpretation only. It is moderns who have erred in that respect, taking the Bible literally. Or actually, trying unsuccessfully to do so, and to impose their interpretation on people.
I am not a book chapter verse person.
In my opinion the taking of innocent life is wrong.
No rights for defenseless unborn babies.
