If Christ ran for president, under what party would he run? What he run under an independent party? What would his campaign support and go against? Would he strive to end the war in Iraq? What about gay marriage? Abortion? Immigration?

His kingdom is not of this world. It would be impossible for him to be politically correct because he would speak nothing but the truth. He would tell it like it is, speak out against the perversity of homosexuality, the corruption at all levels, the destruction of human life in the womb, injustice, so on and so forth. He wouldn't get elected if he ran because people like to hear a lie that makes them feel good and vote for the liar. Jesus would have nothing to do with that.
He did ride into Jerusalem on a donkey though, so ever so slight chance he might be a dem.

His party would be....I dunno...but not republican or democrat....I just don't know a funny name to come up with...
He wouldn't strive to just end the war in Iraq, but all war. He would not support gay marriage, he said marriage is between man and women. No abortion, and immigration is fine...it's ILLEGAL immigration that He would be against.
Jesus said to be a law abiding citizen(not excat words)...so he would tell them to respect our laws.

Dont know about the other stuff. But I'm one who believes that some were born homosexual and God would love them regardless because we are in fact made in Gods image and He did send His son to die on the cross for us. Personally,I dont think He would condone abortion because I do believe that it is murder. But if having that baby is bringing harm to the health of the mother, well I dont know. About the war, I dont think God likes wars. It tells us in the Bible to love everybody whether they're black or white or Muslim or Arab or anything. A person is a person and they deserve to be treated as such. I dont know about the immagration though. I suppose if someone just wants a better life for them or their family and they want to come to our country to make money and earn a living that might not be so bad. I mean its not that great becuase immigrants get free health care and American citizens do not. So I'm not sure.. I'm a teenager.I know few things about the world today and being as it has turned to such a cold one I sometimes like to tune it out & maybe I shouldnt, you know? But I still dont know. Thats my opinion. Hope i helped :)

Islam would be his party, he beleived that there was only one god and he gave us message from the only god, Bible, he would if he was in this present time he would put the quran as laws, which means the shari'ah, for example, if someone commited adultery they would be stoned to death, can you imagine a world where everyone was afraid of rape even the previous rapists. A world without drugs, war, relationships with bad endings. Even sexual topics, associations and diseases would vanish and sex would only be between wife and husband. Divorce would be disliked. good manners, kind and respect would be appreciated and encouraged. Basically , it would be equality between everyone, everywhere. education would be equal level. No poverty, discrimination, and disassociation.

None of the above. He would never run and his comments on Politics were clear: Render unto Cesar that which is Cesar's and render unto God that which is God's
We make a huge mistake when we try to tie Jesus/God to our side in any political battle, because the other side does the same thing.
Jesus told us his Kingdom is not of this world and to try to bring Him down to our level is wrong

Jesus will sit on the throne of David and rule God's kingdom on Earth. He is the King of kings, Lord of lords. Why would he run for president?

I liked your question. I honestly thought about it and came to this conclusion: Christ would not RUN for president.

Luke 22:35-38
But he'd be independant. He can't choose one over the other.

If the Christians are right, President would be a big step down for the big JC. He could fix everything just by crossing his arms and blinking, but that's not what happens.
