A politician can be a Christian, but for many it is not a Christian they may believe fits the mold. Being under the public eye can be daunting and many in Christian circles hold up artificial constructs. I think many do not believe that you can be a Democrat and be a Christian. I think Trump has proven that you can be a Republican and be one of the staunchest allies for the Christian agenda and for Israel and not be a Christian. Politicians are often viewed through the lens of the public life with very little insight, understanding or visibility into their private life. Daresay, most people who would have only the insight of King David's public life without the private view or the illumination of Scripture would question his stand before God.
