Who would Jesus vote for? Over the last four decades, Christian conservatives have overwhelmingly supported the Republican Party. But next year, when Evangelical voters make their way to the polls to help decide the future of this nation, I urge them to ponder, “What would Jesus do?” There’s one candidate who seems to epitomize the
