The definition of hypocrisy is holding a moral position that doesn't conform to one's actions.

True.

---

The action here is politically supporting a person or position that is in opposition to one's moral position, while at the same time opposing a person or political position and citing one's moral convictions as the reason for that opposition.

There will always be something in somebody's character that you will oppose, right? Voting for that person doesn't necessarily make one a hypocrite. Were one to rail against Hillary for being pro abortion, when one then goes and has an abortion? That would make one a hypocrite. Were one to rail against Trump for having had an affair 10 years ago, when one is actively having an affair today? Hypocrite. Saying "I'm a Christian, and think adultery is wrong" and then voting for Trump... nope, not a hypocrite. You just aren't. If you say "I'm a Christian and think adultery is wrong" and then you yourself have an affair... that would make you a hypocrite.

Infidelity, sex outside of marriage, and homosexuality are all sins according to many Christians and Evangelicals. Excusing away any of them because of political expediency, while condemning other sins for political expediency is hypocrisy.

True... thing is... nobody is excusing anything away... what he did was wrong. It was a sin. Hope he's asked both his wife and God for forgiveness for it. If not, he needs to.
