Every accusation by a Republican turns out to be a confession.

Pure projection. They assume everybody else is like them.

Any other entity headed by one man with this many criminals and pedophiles would be called Organized Crime and a pedophile ring.

But, but, but, it’s his policies that matter to us good Christians…

I can appreciate the appeal of Trump to the uneducated and those that feel that life has handed them a raw deal. They are just looking to lash out. Trump is a giant middle finger. I find the support of Trump by the educated and evangelicals inexcusable. They should know better. It is a perfect illustration of the hypocrisy that leaves many people feeling disenchanted with religion today.
